How do I find cheap parking at Melbourne Airport?
To consistently find the cheapest Melbourne Airport parking for the lowest rates, consider doing the following whenever you need to book airport parking:
✔️ Book Early: Prices rise as your travel date gets closer. Reserve your parking spot at least 2–3 weeks in advance to lock in the lowest rate. Even booking the night before is cheaper than paying at the gate.
✔️ Compare Before You Book: Use a platform like Flyparks to view live prices, features, and real customer reviews. Rates can change daily, so if you spot a deal that fits your budget, don’t wait — book it before it’s gone.
The cheapest car parks at Melbourne Airport are the following:

2. A1 Airport Parking: $114.40/week
3. Value Car Park: $112/week

Is it cheaper to park at Melbourne Airport or take a taxi?
It depends on where you're coming from.
If you live within 10 minutes of the airport, a taxi or Uber may be more cost-effective.
But from Melbourne CBD, a one-way ride typically costs $60–$90, or $120–$180 round trip, and that’s assuming no surge pricing.
In comparison, off-site airport parking starts from just $11.40/day, with 8-day rates between $91–$138 at most providers.
For longer trips, the daily rate drops even further.
✅Verdict: If you're travelling solo and live close, a taxi might be cheaper. But for longer stays or multiple travellers, airport parking is often the better deal.
