See the Melbourne Airport Parking Map for Your Terminal

Overview

Know which terminal you’re flying from, but not sure which car park actually sits closest to it? Whichever terminal you’re heading to, Melbourne Airport has onsite car parks within easy reach. Some sit right on the doorstep, while others are a free bus ride away.

Melbourne Airport operates 24/7 and is one of Australia’s busiest travel hubs. We see roughly 36 million passengers each year, which is why it’s best to sort parking early before you travel. You can book parking online up to 12 months in advance, and the earlier you do, the more options you can choose from.

What are the onsite parking options at Melbourne Airport?

Melbourne Airport offers long-term and short-term parking options right within the airport precinct. Which one suits you comes down to how long you’re away and how close to the door you want to be.

Value Car Parks	Open-air self-parking	Off Airport Drive	Longer stays and tighter budgets
Terminal Car Parks	Multi-level, mixed open-air and undercover self-parking	T123 Car Park and T4 Car Park	Short walk to the terminal
Premium Car Parks	Undercover self-parking in prime spots	Level 2 of the T123 Car Park and Level 1 of the T4 Car Park	Closest self-park bays to the terminal entrances

Need Accessible Parking? Every one of these car parks has Accessible Parking bays close to the lifts, terminal entrances and bus stops. Just display a valid Accessible Parking Permit to use one.

Which Melbourne Airport car park sits closest to your terminal?

Self-parking close to your terminal comes down to two options. If you’re flying from Terminal 1, 2 or 3, that’s the T123 Terminal Car Park or the T123 Premium Car Park if you want the closest bays to the entrance. From Terminal 4, it’s the same idea one building over. Park at the T4 Terminal Car Park or the T4 Premium Car Park for the shortest walk.

Flying from Terminal 1? For Qantas domestic flights, the T123 Terminal Car Park connects to the terminal by a covered link bridge, so you're never out in the weather. The T123 Premium Car Park sits on Level 2 of the same building, with undercover bays closest to the entrance for the shortest walk. The T123 Premium Car Park requires pre-booking ahead of arrival.
Heading overseas from Terminal 2? The same covered link bridge runs to the international terminal. The T123 Premium Car Park on Level 2 puts you nearest the entrance (must be pre-booked), handy when you're carrying more than the average domestic traveller.
Catching a flight out of Terminal 3? For Virgin Australia flights, the T123 Terminal Car Park reaches Terminal 3 by that same covered bridge. The T123 Premium Car Park on Level 2 is the closest self-park option (must be pre-booked).
Flying from Terminal 4? Flying with Jetstar, Rex or Link Airways, or one of the Virgin Australia flights that also leave from here? The T4 Terminal Car Park is in its own building, about 100 metres away. The T4 Premium Car Park on Level 1 is as close as self-parking gets for Terminal 4. The T4 Premium Car Park is available to both drive-up and pre-booked customers.

Which valet parking option suits your terminal?

If you’d rather leave the parking to us, Qantas Valet and Melbourne Airport Valet are both on Level 1 of the T123 Car Park. Just drive up, hand over the keys to the team and walk straight to your terminal. No circling for a bay and no trying to remember which level you left it on.

Melbourne Airport Valet runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and works the same no matter which terminal you’re headed to. When booking, you can add optional car cleaning so you can come home to a car that’s cleaner than when you left it.
Qantas Valet runs from 5 AM to 1 AM and sits closest to Terminal 1, about as close as parking gets for anyone flying Qantas domestic. It’s open to every traveller, not just Qantas flyers. Add a car clean while you’re away, and you’ll land to a car looking better than when you dropped it off.

When does parking at the Value Car Parks make the most sense?

Melbourne Airport’s Value parking makes the most sense when you’re away for more than a few days. Both Value North Car Park and Value South Car Park run a free bus to the terminals every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, so there’s always one coming whether your flight is at 6 AM or midnight.

The Value North Car Park bus covers more ground. It stops at Terminal 4 for Jetstar, Rex and Link Airways, with Terminal 3 just a short walk from that same stop for Virgin Australia. It then continues on to Terminal 1 for Qantas domestic, with Terminal 2 a few steps away.
The Value South Car Park bus skips the extra stop and runs straight to the T4 Transport Hub for those flying from Terminal 4. A short walk from there is Terminal 3. It's a faster, more direct route to the terminals than the Value North bus.

Before you head out the door, check the Melbourne Airport parking maps to confirm which car park you're aiming for. If you booked online, that same map comes through in your confirmation email.

Check your car park into Google Maps so you can see your drive along the Tullamarine Freeway before you leave. For the wider precinct, the Melbourne Airport maps page has the full layout.
