The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

ALL car parks are sold-out Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday this week. Please consider alternative transport options. Due to ongoing construction in the T123 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times. Please have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, just a short 10-minute walk from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Thank you for your patience.
