A park and stay package gives you a room the night before you fly and leaves your car at the hotel, or at the airport, while you are away. Melbourne has a few, and they are not the same.

What the packages leave out
- PARKROYAL and ibis Styles cover one night. If you are away for a week, you pay extra nights at the hotel's rate. At PARKROYAL that is more than the airport's own car parks.
- Holiday Inn is the only one built for a long trip. Its packages run to 15 nights and the car park is on its own site, so you are not relying on airport car park availability.
- The shuttle matters more than the car park. Holiday Inn and ibis Styles run a shuttle. See what to check before relying on a hotel shuttle.
What the airport charges
For comparison, we found these Melbourne Airport and nearby rates:
- Value Car Park from about A$12 a day
- Off-airport operators from about A$9 a day
- Airport valet from about A$79 to A$84 a day
- Qantas Valet at A$99 for the first day, then A$25 a day
When a package is worth it
A package earns its keep when you want the room anyway, for an early flight or a late arrival. If you need the hotel night, the parking comes close to free. If you do not need the room, a week in the Value Car Park will cost a lot less than the room, so book the car park alone.
For a short trip with an early start, compare the package with a room plus the airport's Short Term car park. For a long trip, price the nights and compare with the Value Car Park.
