The closest self-parking option to T1 is the Premium Self-Park on Level 2 of the Terminal 1-2-3 car park, just a 2-3 minute walk from the terminal. This undercover, multi-level facility offers 24/7 CCTV, entry and exit barriers, and emergency buttons for security. However, it’s also one of the most expensive options, costing $672 for one week.
A more affordable alternative is the Terminal 1-2-3 car park, where you can park on any level. Depending on availability, you may need to park on higher levels, which could extend your walk to around 12 minutes. One week of parking costs approximately $432, and the first 15 minutes are free.
It's important to remember that while these car parks are within walking distance, car parks with shuttle services may provide greater convenience by dropping you off and picking you up directly outside Terminal 1, providing luggage assistance in the process.
If you're seeking a quick and convenient parking experience and cost isn't a concern, valet parking is the best option. The Premium Valet, located on Level 2 of the Terminal 1-2-3 car park, is just a 2-3 minute walk to T1 and costs $672 for one week.
Alternatively, Qantas Valet, located on the ground floor of T1, is also a 2-3 minute walk to the terminal. Drive-up bookings are preferred, and the cost is $525 for one week.
All of these car parks and parking services boast security measures of 24/7 CCTV, entry/exit barriers, well-lit areas, and emergency buttons. Do note that if you plan to book the valet service, your vehicle will be parked somewhere on airport grounds, subject to uncovered or covered parking.
💡TIP: If you're travelling from Terminal 1 between January and March 2025, please allow an extra 30 to 45 minutes for parking due to construction delays in the Terminal 123 forecourt. Expect higher traffic and more crowded car parks during this period.
Be sure to factor in this additional time or explore alternative parking options to ensure a quicker parking experience.
For travellers looking to save on parking and spend more on their trip, the most affordable Terminal 1 car park is Air Travel Parking, offering uncovered parking for just $80 per week. Located 12 minutes from T1, it provides on-demand transfers daily from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The second most affordable option is Jetaway Airport Parking, just 10 minutes from T1, with open-air parking for $104 per week. Open 24/7, it ensures you’ll always have access to your vehicle, no matter your flight schedule.
For covered parking at a budget-friendly price, Melrose Airport Parking offers a week of secure parking for just $138 - cheaper than any official covered car park at Melbourne Airport. It’s a 10-minute shuttle ride from T1 and operates daily from 4:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
All three car parks provide personalized service, luggage assistance, and drop-offs right outside Terminal 1. They also feature 24/7 CCTV, roaming patrols, full perimeter fencing, or entry and exit barriers for added security.
As locally owned Australian businesses, they prioritize fair pricing and exceptional service, helping you avoid overpaying while benefiting from secure, convenient, and customer-focused airport parking.
The Value Car Park is the airport's official budget parking option. It is located approximately a 10-minute shuttle ride from Terminal 1, costing $112 for 1 week of parking, which is pretty affordable.
While affordable, it only provides scheduled shuttle services operating every 15 minutes. Passengers have reported encountering queues, and the bus is often full. However, if you're willing to wait, the lower rates make it a worthwhile option.
