Parking near the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, low cost and 24 hours access
Posted: Fri May 8, 2009 07:28 PM UTC

Staying in a hotel near the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and was looking for a low cost parking garage. It would be best if it was open 24 hours but it should at least be open very late on a weekend night (until 10pm or Midnight). Anyone know of any cheap yet secure parking in this area?

You can probably park in the car park at Crown casino, the Melbourne exhibition centre is just over the road from the casino. Here is the website with details http://www.crowncasino.com.au/Content.aspx?topicID=526 You are supposed to park & then stay in the casino complex but a lot of people park there because its cheap & go to other things in the city

Wilson Parking have a place nearby but it depends upon what direction your hotel is from the MEC. Have you asked the hotel? They may have a deal with a local park (either the casino or may be the MEC itself

Prices aren't over the top in comparison to local rates elsewhere.

Thanks for everyone's help. I waited until I got there and found a parking garage. Actually, they changed their rates at the last minute (probably because of the time of year) and got a good deal.
