South Melbourne Market's car parking is split across two sites, both run by the market and the City of Port Phillip rather than a private operator. The larger option is the rooftop car park, accessed via a ramp off Coventry Street, which holds around 270 vehicles across its deck. Entry is height-restricted to 2.1 metres, and the whole set-up is ticketless and cashless, with the fee worked out automatically based on the day and length of stay. Six accessible bays sit within the rooftop level, linked by a lift that opens directly onto the Market's Centre Aisle, and two EV charging points are tucked away on the lower level near the stairs for anyone topping up while they shop. The second option, the York Street car park, is smaller at 75 spaces but a handy alternative when the rooftop is busy, and it includes an accessible bay of its own. Both car parks offer two hours of free parking on the Market's main trading days of Wednesday and Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday if you arrive before 10am, which suits most people popping in for the weekly shop. Stay longer or arrive outside those windows and standard day rates apply instead. Cyclists are catered for too, with extra-long bike parking near the Coventry Street end for cargo bikes and trailers, and six more accessible bays are available along York Street itself for on-street parking. Most market visitors, from a quick coffee run to a full weekly shop, will find one of the two car parks the easiest way to arrive by car and get straight into the Market.
