Book Valet Parking
Valet parking is available whether you are gone for a day, a week or longer!
Passengers arriving by personal vehicle can park on the curb in the designated Valet spots, grab your luggage and proceed inside the terminal to the valet desk in arrivals. An attendant will be there to collect your information and keys, then you’re free to catch your flight. Upon return, proceed to the valet desk to process payment, collect your keys and your vehicle will be on the curb waiting for you.
Please contact the parking team at 250-765-5612 with any questions or updates to your booking.
A fee of $27.75 will be added to the final cost of your parking stay using long-term parking rates. Daily long-term rates are $2.25 for the first hour and $3.25 for every additional hour, up to $16.75 daily maximum, and a weekly rate of $83.50.

Gold Pass Program
The Gold Pass parking program is available for frequent travellers. This pass enables passengers to buy a six-month pass (rate as of January 2, 2024 is $1,223.25). This then allows for unlimited prepaid parking for one duly registered vehicle, in the short-term parking lot.
For more information about this program, call 250-765-5612.
Accessible Parking
Accessible drop-off locations are available in front the terminal building. Accessible parking is available in the rows closest to the terminal building, in the short- and long-term lots. See the parking map.
YLW also offers a Temporary Accessible Parking Permit Program. This program allows travellers to take their current Accessible Parking Permit with them as they travel, so it can be used at their destination. A permit can be picked up from the Airport Valet Booth. To pick up your permit, call 250-765-5612 .
Curbside parking
YLW has introduced a new app-based contactless payment option for airport parking. Customers can now use the PayByPhone mobile app to pay for parking at meters located along the front curb, across from the terminal.
Using the PayByPhone mobile app is easy. After you park at a meter, download the app (if you don't already have it on your smartphone), enter your parking location and length of stay, and pay directly through the app. Before a parking session expires, the app will send you a text reminder to extend your parking session remotely, rather than having to return to your car to feed the meter. For more information, visit paybyphone.com.
Curbside parking is available on the left side of the road in front of the terminal building.
The rate is $2.75 per 30 minutes.
Purchase a ticket from a meter or use the PayByPhone mobile app and select location 15540.
Please note: Vehicles that park in the active passenger loading zone area will be towed.
Long-Term Lot Shuttle
Please call 250-765-5612 to arrange for courtesy shuttle pick-up.
