Parking FAQ - Avalon Airport

Parking FAQ

The Melbourne Avalon Airport Electronic Parking System is a modern parking solution designed to simplify and enhance your parking experience at the airport. It utilises advanced licence plate recognition (LPR) technology, allowing you to enter and exit the parking area seamlessly.

If you have a pre-booking, the LPR system will link your licence plate with the corresponding booking and the boom gate will automatically open. When you exit, the boom gate will read your licence plate again and automatically open. Please note, if you have not pre-booked, this function will not work and you will need to take a ticket or tap your credit card. If you have pre-booked and your licence plate is not recognised, please scan the QR code provided with your booking confirmation e-mail.

No, you don’t have to pre-book. However, we do encourage all travellers to pre-book their parking through the Melbourne Avalon Airport website to secure the best rate. Please note that the Value Long Stay Car Park is pre-booking only. At Terminal Parking offers both pre-booking and drive-up options.

Head towards our normal Terminal Parking and follow the signs directing you to the long-stay parking bays. Upon reaching the gate, our parking system will seamlessly recognise your number plate, granting you access to park. From there, it’s still an easy stroll to our Domestic Terminal!

If you have pre-booked parking, you will pay at the time of booking. If you have not pre-booked, you can park in the At Terminal car park by driving up and either tapping your credit card or taking a ticket. You cannot park in the Value Long Stay car park without a booking. If you tap your credit card, you will need to tap the same credit card at exit. You will be charged accordingly, and the boom gate will open. If you take a ticket, you can pay at the pay station located in the terminal when you return and then insert your ticket at the exit gate. Alternatively, insert your ticket upon exiting and pay at the gate.

Only for parkers who do not pre-book online.
