The car parks and roads at Melbourne Airport are very busy this week

All car parks at Melbourne Airport are very busy this week and booking out fast. If you don't have a booking, consider alternate forms of transport to come to the airport. If you do have a booking, allow extra time to find a spot and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry. If using the Terminal 4 car park including pick up and drop off, please note Naarm Way is closed until mid November. To access the T4 car park, please exit the Tullamarine Freeway at Exit 18 on Mercer Drive, then turn right at the Airport Drive roundabout and follow the signs to the Terminal 4 car park. Proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Due to ongoing construction in the Terminal 1,2,3 car park pick up and drop off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times if you are being dropped off by a loved one, taxi or Uber.  Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

Ready to hit the road?

Here’s how to ensure you’re hopping into the right Rideshare vehicle:

Head towards the designated rideshare pick up zone. Before approaching, make sure the licence plate and driver photo exactly match the car and driver in front of you. If you have a PIN, confirm your PIN with the driver before entering the vehicle. Once you’ve verified everything, now’s the time to load your luggage safely.

Some additional tips

  • Do not accept a ride from anyone offering rideshare services inside or outside the airport terminals.
  • Do not share your PIN with anyone else.
  • Never enter a different vehicle than the one assigned in your app.
  • If you have any concerns, please contact the Rideshare operator directly.
