Short-term parking fees get big bump at Vancouver International Airport – BC

If you are headed travelling through Vancouver International Airport, be ready to pay more to park.

Last week, the airport made the first half-hour of parking free at its main parkade next to the terminal.

But prices after that have gone up to $14 per half-hour, to a maximum of $65 per day.

That’s up significantly from the old rates of $5.50 per 30 minutes, to a maximum of $40.

The airport said the new rates were necessary to “better manage space” for short-term parking, and that its rate for long-term parking remains unchanged.
