Terminal carpark
Melbourne airport terminal carpark had the reputation for most expensive in the world. Now it has gone completely predatory. If you don’t book online, you face 50% higher rates.
Booking online has its own challenges.
While there is an allowance for coming earlier, the carpark must be left before the end of the booked period, otherwise, the higher rates apply. If meeting a family member at the airport, the flight delay is not always announced early enough to be able to schedule the parking period precisely. Delays in luggage and customs can’t be predicted. The booking cannot be changed later than 2 hours before its start. Damned if you book, damned if you don’t. melbourneairport.com.au(/)parking-terms-and-conditions
The booked time has to include 20 min to find a free parking bay and 15 min to walk to the terminal and back to the car, because the bay you found is far, far away, due to the building works.
The way things are going, it might be CHEAPER TO CATCH A TAXI OR UBER instead of using one’s own car to send off or meet family members. The expensive upgrade going on at the moment might never be paid off, because the parking is prohibitively expensive.
