To help you consistently find the cheapest Melbourne Airport parking for the lowest rates, consider doing the following whenever you need to book airport parking:
Reserve your parking at Melbourne Airport at least 2 - 3 weeks in advance:
Pre-booking is not required for any Melbourne Airport car parks, however, as your travel date approaches, available spaces decrease and prices rise.
Even if you pre-book your spot the night before, you will still save more than you would by driving up to the car park on your day of departure and paying for parking that way.
Compare rates before booking:
By using a comparison platform like Flyparks, you can compare Melbourne Airport car parks rates for your exact trip duration. Not to mention, reviews & service features are available for each car park.
Much like Google Flights, online rates for airport car parks will often fluctuate in their pricing, so if you see a rate that aligns with your budget, it's best to book it before it's gone.
How much is long-term parking at Melbourne Airport?
Long-term, off-site parking with private Melbourne Airport car parks will cost between $142.80 - $300.00 for 2 weeks, or 16 days.
This amounts to approximately $10.41 - $17.50 per day.
That's big savings compared to on-site providers, which will cost between $230.00 - $1,106.00 for 2 weeks.
These rates are subject to change, however, based on how far in advance one books, the season in which they book, the duration, and the type of service.
Is it cheaper to park at Melbourne Airport or take a taxi?
Airport parking can be expensive, but there are ways to save. If you live within 10 minutes of Melbourne Airport, taking a taxi or Uber might be more cost-effective.
However, if you're travelling from Melbourne CBD, a one-way Uber or taxi ride can cost between $60 and $90, depending on the vehicle size and number of passengers.
That is $120 to $180 for a round trip, which is reasonable if you're splitting the cost. But at that rate, parking might be the better option, with off-site providers charging between $96 - $138.
For longer trips, off-site airport car parks offer budget-friendly rates starting as low as $12.25 per day at places like Park & Fly Airport Parking.
The longer you park, the lower the daily rate.
