Plus, all online bookings come with a one-hour grace period for both before and after your booked hours. This gives you the flexibility of arriving and leaving the car park up to an hour before and after your booked parking time, something you’ll really appreciate during peak travel seasons.

Here’s how to book parking online:

1. Visit the Website: Head to the Melbourne Airport website and click on the parking section.
2. Select Your Dates: Input the dates and times of your departure and return. Keep in mind that Value Express Parking is only available for specific dates and times.
3. Choose the Parking Option: From the list of available parking options, select ‘Value Express Parking’. Our online booking system will provide you with an estimate of how much you can expect to pay for each parking option for the entire duration of your stay.
4. Pay for Your Booking: Once you’ve chosen the Value Express option and filled in all the necessary details, you’ll see a booking summary detailing your billing and payment options. We accept debit/credit cards and Google Pay.

Value Express Parking shares the same car park as our Value Parking option. To get there, start by taking the Tullamarine Freeway towards the airport. This Melbourne Airport car park is located just off Airport Drive. As you drive towards the terminals, keep to the right at the intersection on Airport Drive and make a right turn into the Value Car Park.

Look for the reddish-orange sign marking the entrance to the Value Car Park. Scan your QR code at the gate, then head towards the dedicated Value Express Area within the car park.

At the entrance, present your booking to the parking attendant and hand over your keys. Once parked, you'll find a designated bus stop where you can catch the shuttle bus. It’s near an orange facility with a letter on its sidewall - Bus Stop B. The shuttle bus, also orange, clearly indicates on the front which car park it serves, ensuring you get to and from the airport terminals with ease.

For further details, please refer to our car park maps.
