Car parks are busy

ALL car parks are very busy over the Easter period, with limited drive-up spots available. Please consider alternative transport options. Please have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Our roads and car parks may have changed since your last visit. Due to ongoing construction in the T123 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times. Learn about the Naarm Way Stage 2 project to plan ahead: https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/plan-ahead. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, just a short 10-minute walk from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Thank you for your patience.

Follow these simple steps to ensure you're hopping into a registered taxi vehicle.

For your safety,  please decline offers of taxis both inside and outside the terminals. Authorised taxis wait at designated taxi ranks at T1 and T4, clearly marked with signage. This ensures licensed and safe drivers, keeping you away from potential scams.

Before approaching the taxi, make sure the taxi and the driver are displaying their accredited taxi service number. Once you've confirmed the taxi and driver details, you're good to go! Load your luggage and settle in.

Remember these essential tips:

  • Never accept a ride from anyone offering taxi services inside or outside the airport terminals.
  • Make sure you look for the official accredited taxi service number.
  • If you have any concerns, please contact the taxi operator directly.
