How Does Melbourne Airport Premium Self Parking Work?
To park at the Premium self-park lot, travellers can book their spot online or pay upon arrival.
Booking online is recommended to save on rates & to ensure the car park is not full upon arrival.
Upon Arrival
If you booked online, arrive at the Terminal Car Park on your departure day and scan the QR code from your confirmation email at the entry barrier.
If you plan to pay upon arrival, scan your credit card at the entry gate.
Remember to use the same credit card when exiting to avoid double charges and ensure eligibility for a refund.
Head to Level 2 if you're flying from T1, T2, or T3. If you're flying from T4, head to Level 1.
Park in any of the bays at the front of the car parks.
Upon Return
Head back to the car park and retrieve your car.
If you booked online and returned later than your assigned time, there is a 2-hour grace period during which you will not be charged for overstaying.
Need extra time?
Travellers can extend their booking online anytime before their scheduled exit.
Just click "Manage booking," on the Melbourne Airport website, provide your details, and update your exit time.
The system will calculate any extra fees, and you'll get a new QR code for a smooth departure.
If you don't want to deal with the hassle of the online booking portal and will leave the car park later than planned, scan your QR code at the gate to see any additional fees.
You can pay conveniently using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a credit card.
🚘Grace period: Bookings over 4 hours come with a 2-hour grace period, while shorter stays include a 1-hour grace period.
