Quick History
Andrew’s Airport Parking Group started it’s journey in 1997 with 50 parking spaces in Tullamarine and, well, just me. Andrew.
From the beginning, customer service has been the cornerstone of Andrew’s. It’s critical that we deliver a service customers can be pleased with, even proud of. That is why “good-old-fashioned service” is synonymous with Andrew’s and always will be. While I could not have imagined Andrew’s would grow from 50 car spaces in Melbourne to over 6,000 across the country, I’m thrilled so many travellers value a service the way we do!
We grew quickly in the beginning, being recognised in the BRW Fastest 100 businesses three years running from 2001 – 2003. Soon after, Andrew’s won the rights to facilitate car parking for the 2006 Commonwealth Games, an immense project requiring over 300 staff managed right across Victoria.
That same year, we opened our first facility outside of Victoria. Andrew’s Airport Parking Brisbane opened on June 1st, 2006 and still operates from the same location today as Brisbane’s largest alternative to parking at Brisbane Airport. We’ve built a wonderful team and service in QLD, again something that gives me great pride. And yes, with the Commonwealth Games and a new facility, 2006 was a busy year!
Both businesses continued to expand into the early 2010’s along with the ease and availability of travel. This led to our opening a third facility in Adelaide during 2014 that today caters for Adelaide Airport, Outer Harbor, Keswick Rail Station and just about any other ex-Adelaide terminal South Australians choose to travel from.

In 2017, we invited affiliate partners to work with Andrew’s Airport Parking in our Online Airport Parking Network. The network continues to grow today, providing parking options all around Australia for our customers, corporate and travel related bodies alike.
More recently, Andrew’s have become the only facility offering park and transfer options to Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide cruise terminals, as well as long term storage options for your caravan, boat or motorhome.
Transferring up to 1,000 travelling parties to and from their airports each and every day, with shuttle buses, facilities and staff operating around the clock makes us a very busy business. But a very enjoyable business! As Owner and Managing Director, I remain actively involved with my Management teams to the customer service culture of Andrew’s remains true for staff and customers alike. A workplace full of fun and passion for over 100 amazing Australians is key to our delivering Andrew’s “good old-fashioned service” and the utmost care of your vehicle.
We have many members who have parked with Andrew’s Airport Parking for at least 10 years, members whose children are now members! This is something I am incredibly proud to say.
Whether you’re returning, or considering parking with Andrew’s for the first time, it is our great pleasure to meet you and to have you experience our good old-fashioned service!
