Routes Airport Parking YOW: About C$8/Day Off-Site, Daytime Shuttle (2026)

Routes Airport Parking Ottawa is a gated off-site lot at 2644 Leitrim Rd, Gloucester, 2.2 miles (about 3.5 km) from Ottawa airport, and it came to C$54.34 for a sample 7-day booking, about C$8/day with taxes and fees. That is about half the C$99.75 the airport quoted for its cheapest lot, P4, for the same dates, as of October 2026. The catch is limited hours, so check your flight times first. Our YOW airport parking guide covers every on-airport option.

Routes Airport Parking Ottawa at a Glance

It is the only off-site lot bookable on Triply at YOW as of October 2026.

Check the Hours Before You Book

Routes works only if you drop off and pick up during its daytime hours.

The office is open 8 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 6 PM on weekends. The shuttle runs on demand from 8 AM to 6:30 PM on weekdays and from 8 AM to 5:30 PM on weekends, and there is no shuttle outside those times. A mid-morning departure and an afternoon return fit well. A 6 AM flight, or a flight that lands after about 6 PM, does not: for those, the airport's own lots are a walk from the terminal, with parking staff on duty 24 hours a day.

How Drop-Off and Pick-Up Work

You check in at the office, park in an assigned spot and ride the shuttle to the terminal.

1. Drive to 2644 Leitrim Rd and go to the office with your reservation.
2. The attendant gives you a parking pass with your spot and shuttle details.
3. Park in your designated spot, then go back to the office to wait for the shuttle.
4. When you land and have your bags, call 613-523-3003.
5. Wait between pillars 14 and 15 on the Arrivals level for a white shuttle with the Routes Car Rental logo.

Pillars 13 to 15 are the airport's hotel and shuttle pickup area, listed on its ground transportation page.

Routes vs the Airport's Own Parking

For our sample week, Routes cost about C$45 less than P4 booked online and about C$119 less than the Parkade.

Airport totals are the airport's own online quote, including HST and its 5% online discount, with rates from the official YOW parking page. What you get at the airport for the extra money: a walk instead of a shuttle, no shuttle hours to plan around, and in the Parkade, cover from snow and free EV charging. Our P4 long-term lot guide and YOW parking fees breakdown have the details, including the airport's 10 for 30 offer for trips of two weeks or more, which can change the math for long stays.

Who Should Choose Routes

• Daytime travelers: flights that leave and land within the shuttle hours.
• Budget-minded week-long trips: about half the cost of P4 for our sample week, with the total paid up front.
• Planners: a booked price, and a full refund if you cancel up to the day of arrival.

Tips for Using Routes

Plan around the shuttle hours and the lot runs smoothly.

• Arrive with time to spare: you check in at the office, park and then wait for the shuttle, so allow extra time before your flight.
• Save the number: 613-523-3003. You call it for the return shuttle once you have your bags.
• Check your return time: if a delay could push your landing past the weekday or weekend shuttle cut-off, have a backup plan, since there is no shuttle after hours.
• Bring your reservation: the office checks it before giving you a parking pass.
• Driving something large? Vehicles that take more than one spot pay an extra charge at the lot.
