Melbourne Australia Airport Parking Rates

[gk10002000]

I was watching a video from an Aussie that spends a lot of time in Thailand.  He was back in Melbourne and waiting for his Thai girlfriend who was coming to visit.  As he was walking into the airport I noticed a sign in the background:  Short term parking $8  30 minutes.   I know short term parking is pricey  at many airports, but $8 seems pretty high.

Can relate. Same as UK. On coming back here after many years away, was dumbstruck (and still am) with weird parking charges/restrictions. Having to pay to park in a supermarket (that you are shopping at) for instance, lest you get a ridiculous fine, like 85 quid. Meters everywhere now, though granted space is somewhat a premium here now that the place is rammed to the rafters.

can always go for a cuppa (or ten) at the Maccas at the petrol station 

 

 

but at least now they also have a 4 lanes pick-up only 'Free' location, just Outside International

That rate is very expensive, but if it is anything like Auckland and some other airports, there will be a pre-pay rate online where you can book a couple of hours for $7.
