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.
