Parking at the airport has its pros and cons, whether you’re flying from Melbourne or elsewhere in Australia. Driving your own car is certainly the easiest way to get to Tullamarine Airport, especially if you’re travelling with children or with lots of luggage, but it can be expensive. There are plenty of alternatives to paying top dollar to use the airport’s official car parking facilities, thanks to the many independent car parks nearby. Some even offer long-term parking for less than half the rates charged by the airport. Read the Flyparks guide on the best, the closest, and the cheapest airport parking at Melbourne Airport.
Almost all of the ‘off-site’ car parks near Tullamarine Airport offer free shuttle bus transfers to the airport terminals and back. You have a choice between open air and covered parking, with the latter normally attracting a small price increase. Their rates are calculated on the length of your stay, and prices tend to decline the longer the length of the booking.
However, the cheapest car park for a day trip might not be the cheapest option available for a week- or fortnight-long holiday. It always pays to compare rates if you’re planning a longer trip away. To help you find the cheapest airport parking in Melbourne, we’ve crunched the numbers to find the best deals on off-site parking for a single day up to a full week.
