Start your trip in style with Melbourne Airport valet parking, by driving your own car to the airport with the minimum of fuss. Why not enjoy the luxury of having someone park your car for you, while you head straight to check in? Whether you’re travelling from Terminal 1, 2, or 3, Melbourne Airport valet parking is available to all.
If you’re looking for hassle-free Melbourne Airport parking, valet services might be for you. You won’t need to find a parking space, catch a shuttle bus, or carry your suitcases far at all. Simply drive to a valet service of your choice, head to the reception, and leave a set of your car keys with a trained member of staff. There are three services which offer valet parking at Melbourne Airport, including the airport’s own valet service, Qantas valet parking, and Virgin Australia premium valet parking. Read on to find out more about these services, their booking procedures, opening hours, rates, and how they compare.
Valet parking Melbourne Airport is a premium service, and one of the easiest ways to park close to Departures. These services do not require an advance reservation - to use them, you simply need to drive up to the airport where a chauffeur will meet you at the valet reception drop-off point, close to the terminal you’re flying from. On your return, your vehicle will be ready for you to collect at an area specified by the firm.
The service is ideal for corporate travellers, customers with a lot of luggage, or those with mobility issues who would prefer not to catch a shuttle bus. As the meeting points for Melbourne Airport’s valet service, Qantas valet parking Melbourne, and Virgin valet parking Melbourne are in different locations, it’s worth taking note of which is closest to your terminal. Not all of the valet firms based at Melbourne Airport are suitable for travellers using Terminal 3 or Terminal 4, so it's important to check beforehand.
The official valet parking service at Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport operates from T1 and T2, making it ideal for Qantas domestic or international flights. Qantas valet parking is located off Centre Road on East Street, by the Qantas Domestic Terminal, whereas the Virgin Australia’s premium valet parking service is close to Terminal 3. Unlike Melbourne Airport’s official valet service, Qantas and Virgin Australia’s valet parking facilities are designed for use by customers who are flying with these specific airlines.
The procedures at each are very similar, and each will park your car in a fully secured storage facility, with CCTV, security fencing, lighting, and regular patrols. Please note that you cannot book into these car parks through the Flyparks website at present. We do however feature a range of great-value, ultra convenient off-site parking options, which serve all four terminals.
If you’d like to return home to a clean car, Melbourne Airport’s valet service and Qantas’ valet parking service offer car washing and detailing, starting from $45.00 upwards. You can arrange these optional extras at reception upon arrival, providing that your vehicle will be parked for 24 hours or longer.
You can pre-book valet parking on Melbourne Airport’s official website, or drive-up on the day. In both cases, rates are determined based on calendar days, rather than by each 24 hour period. We have compiled the various Melbourne Airport parking rates over different periods of time, so you can view the difference between booking for one day or seven, between the airport’s service and Qantas’.

Valet parking isn’t for everyone - it’s a premium service that comes at a premium rate. If you prefer to spend big on your holiday, instead of on your parking, there are plenty of alternatives. On-site airport parking for example, will get you close to Arrivals and Departures, whereas off-site parking services come complete with transfer services that will drop you off outside your terminal. Many holidaymakers find this a convenient alternative, as they are guaranteed a parking space, assistance with heavy luggage, alongside low rates.
