To find and list the 5 best Melbourne airport parking options we first checked the customer ratings of all the Melbourne Airport car parks listed on Flyparks. These ratings are left by travellers who have all booked and used these car parks, and then provided a fair and honest review of how reliable, trustworthy, and punctual the company’s parking and shuttle services were. We then took into account the prices and security features offered by these car parks, by comparing them to the official airport parking lots in terms of rates, convenience level, and proximity to the terminals.
As Australian airports continue to reduce the number of on-site parking spaces available for redevelopment and security reasons, off-site parking lots have become a better alternative than ever. These privately run parking facilities are often less expensive than airport-run long term car parks, and are protected by more modern security features.
We realise that some drivers may have questions about off-site lots, and think that it will take additional time to take the shuttle to and from the airport. But several of the airport-operated long term car parks at Tullamarine are also a shuttle ride away from the terminal. And during holiday periods and weekends, these budget long term lots are almost always full, meaning that you could easily spend half an hour looking for a space, before retreating to an off-site car park anyway.
The main benefit of privately operated airport car parks is that travellers almost never pay the full price for parking. Unlike the official on-site car parks, which face no competition, most satellite parking facilities do. And when companies compete, customers usually win. Prices are driven down, and the level of service goes up.
Flyparks makes it straightforward and easy to search and compare multiple airport parking facilities across Australia. To get started, enter your travel dates into our handy search bar above. You’ll be shown a list of all the available off-site car parks, which you can then filter by customer rating. Our top 5 airport parking options, as mentioned in this article, will be at the top of the page.
Should you have any questions or need any help to book parking, our customer service team is available, Monday through to Friday, to assist you. Just send us a short email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
All the rates cited are approximate and subject to change. Estimations were taken for stays in March 2020. Please note that it is not possible to book at any of the official Melbourne Airport car parks through Flyparks at present.
