Pre-booking Monthly and Daily Parking in Melbourne

Parkhound connects people searching for parking near their work, university or home, with locals who have a spare garage, car space or driveway to share.

We're a fast growing community with over 200,000 members. Our main goal? To make finding and booking parking as easy and stress free as ordering a pizza!

We're a small team of 25, Sydney based, but we operate nationwide with parking spots available in most major cities including Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. We’re international too! Our sister site, Spacer.com, launched into the US in 2020.

The cost of monthly parking is influenced by the street, amenities nearby and security of the spot.

Parking costs in Melbourne

For example Melbourne Central, listed as the hardest place to find parking in Melbourne CBD, has parking priced around $400 - $600 per month, over $200 higher than the average monthly Melbourne parking cost. Council parking bays are the cheapest, at around $7 per day, but have only two off-street parking bays on offer. Spaces aren’t reserved, so it’s first in best dressed!

For most traditional parking operators like a Wilson or Secure, you’ll need to contact them first to receive a quote. Often, much like car storage facilities, it will depend on the number of spots they have available and there’s usually both unreserved plus reserved options. Keep in mind, reservation comes at a premium!

You can save up to 44% on Melbourne parking costs by using Parkhound.

On top of that, Parkhound has primarily off-street parking options which means no fines or parking tickets. On average, a person in Melbourne supposedly receives at least one fine a year, meaning you're saving an extra $91-$182 by parking in a secure, reserved, off-street space.

We don't have any signup or membership fees, so the price on the map is exactly what you'll pay!

Daily parking in Melbourne CBD can cost anywhere from $7/day for on-street to $79/day for off-street, depending on your location and proximity to transport hubs, universities, hospitals and/or office buildings. Unlike monthly parking prices with commercial operators, daily prices are less likely to fluctuate throughout the year, making it a little easier to budget for.

Most commercial parking operators will have two prices listed on their website for each location. These are their drive-up rates and online pre-booking. With online pre-booking, you can usually save a few extra dollars. For example, Flinders St Car Park costs $68/day when you pre-book and $72/day for drive-up. Keep in mind that most daily off-street and on-street parking spots aren’t reserved and finding a spot isn’t guaranteed. That goes for council bay parking as well!
