Instructions

How Does Terminal 3 Parking at Melbourne Airport Work?

Travellers can park at Terminal 3 Park by booking a spot online or paying upon arrival. It is recommended to book online to save on rates and guarantee availability.

Upon Arrival

If you booked online, arrive at the Terminal 3 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 to exit the car park; otherwise, you may be charged twice and will not be eligible for a refund.

Upon Return

Drive to the exit gate and scan the same QR code you used for entry. If you are within your reserved time frame, the gate will lift. If you are late, a 2-hour grace period applies if you parked for more than 4 hours.

Travellers who paid with a credit card upon arrival must use the same card to exit.

If you encounter any issues, press and hold the HELP button for 3 seconds to speak with a customer service agent.

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.
