YUL Parking Map and Lot Guide 2026: Every Lot Explained

The YUL parking map and lot guide covers every official lot at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport — from the cheapest economy option at C$30/day to valet at C$50/day — plus five off-site lots bookable on Triply from C$12.55/day. Two major lots closed permanently in 2026, so knowing exactly where each lot sits and how long its shuttle takes can save you a real headache on departure day. This guide is part of the Complete YUL Airport Parking Guide, which covers broader topics like winter parking, transit, and accessibility.

• Seven named on-airport lots remain open in 2026, ranging from C$30/day (AéroParc A1 and EconoParc P9) to C$50/day (ValetParc), based on secondary sources including way.com and milesopedia (verified Oct 2026).
• Two lots are permanently closed — the Multi-Level Garage and EconoParc P5 — per Time Out Montreal, 2026.
• CellParc is free and intended for short waits only; overnight parking is not permitted there.
• Five off-site lots near YUL are bookable on Triply, starting at C$12.55/day before GST+QST.
• Shuttle frequency varies from 24/7 every 15 minutes (Eyepark Airport) to on-demand daytime only (Autoparc RM and AutoParc Prime).
• Online advance booking saves up to 10% off the gate price, per La Presse.

YUL Parking Map and Lot Guide: Every On-Airport Option in 2026

YUL has one main terminal building, operated by Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), served by Air Canada, WestJet, Air Transat, Porter Airlines, Air France, British Airways, American Airlines, Delta, and United. All parking lots feed into this single terminal, which simplifies navigation considerably. The official ADM website is the authoritative source for lot maps and real-time availability — bookmark it before your trip.

Here is every currently open on-airport lot, in plain terms:

Rates are based on secondary sources — way.com (Oct 2026) and milesopedia (updated 5 Oct 2026) — because admtl.com was not directly accessible for rate confirmation on 2026-10-16. Verify current rates on ADM's site before you book. GST+QST (14.975%) status for on-airport lots is unconfirmed; budget for tax on top of listed rates.

Terminal-Side Lots vs. Remote Lots: Which Should You Choose?

Terminal-side lots (Short-Term, HotelParc, ValetParc) let you walk from the car to check-in in minutes. They cost C$43–C$50/day. These work best for very short stays — one or two nights — or when you have heavy luggage and need speed.

Remote lots (AéroParc A1, EconoParc P9, P4, P10) cost C$30–C$34/day and require a free shuttle. The shuttle from P4 takes only a few minutes. The AéroParc A1 and P9 shuttles run around 15 minutes, based on ADM shuttle listings. For trips of three days or longer, the savings of C$10–C$20/day over terminal-side lots add up quickly.

The 2026 Closures: What Happened to the Multi-Level Garage and P5?

Two permanent closures changed the YUL parking map in 2026. The Multi-Level Garage and EconoParc P5 are both gone, according to Time Out Montreal's February 2026 travel warning. These were popular options, and losing them reduced total on-airport parking capacity.

ADM opened AéroParc A1 to help fill the gap. According to Time Out Montreal's January 2026 report, AéroParc A1 added roughly 1,000 new parking spaces, including a valet option. At C$30/day with the first 40 minutes free, it matches EconoParc P9 on price while offering more capacity.

The practical effect for travelers: book ahead. With fewer total spots on-airport and summer 2026 demand strong (per La Presse's July 2026 guide), lots fill earlier than they used to. La Presse also notes that online booking saves up to 10% off the gate price. That discount alone justifies reserving in advance, even before you consider the peace of mind.

P4, P10, and the Express Drop-Off Zones Explained

P4 is the best-value covered lot at YUL, priced at around C$34/day with a free shuttle to the terminal. Being covered matters during Montreal winters, when ice and snow can make an uncovered lot genuinely unpleasant to return to. P4 also features a free Express drop-off zone, open 24/7, for anyone dropping off a passenger without parking.

P10 is another remote lot offering the same free Express drop-off zone and a free shuttle connection to the terminal. P10's daily parking rate was not confirmed by available secondary sources as of October 2026 — check ADM directly before relying on P10 for longer stays. Both P4 and P10 are accessed via routes off Boulevard Cardinal and the airport ring road; follow ADM signage from Autoroute 20 or Autoroute 520 (Côte-de-Liesse).

If you just need to drop someone off fast, use P10's Express drop-off zone rather than circling the terminal. It is free and available around the clock. Before your drive, check real-time traffic on Waze — the Autoroute 20/Turcot interchange can add 20 minutes or more during peak hours.

CellParc: The Free Waiting Lot at YUL

CellParc is a free, designated waiting area for drivers picking up arriving passengers. You park at no cost and wait until your passenger texts or calls to say their bags are ready. Then you drive to the terminal Arrivals level to collect them.

CellParc is not for long-term or overnight parking. It is a short-wait zone only — do not leave your vehicle there for more than the time it takes your passenger to clear baggage claim. The exact location of CellParc within the YUL campus is best confirmed on ADM's live map before arrival.

What About EV Charging at YUL Parking Lots?

EV charging availability within YUL's on-airport lots has not been confirmed by the secondary sources available as of October 2026. ADM's official site is the right place to verify charger locations, counts, and fees before you arrive. Do not assume your chosen lot has charging without checking first.

If you book through Eyepark Airport off-site, note that this is a valet-only secured garage. When you hand over your car, confirm whether the attendants can position EVs near chargers if any are available. Eyepark's 24/7 shuttle runs every 15 minutes, so the convenience is high even if EV details need direct confirmation with the lot.

Five Off-Site Lots Near YUL: Cheaper Rates and Shuttle Details

Off-site parking near YUL starts at C$12.55/day — less than half the cheapest on-airport rate — based on current Triply rates (before 14.975% GST+QST). These five lots are all bookable on Triply and serve the same single YUL terminal. Return shuttle pickups from the airport are at the Departure Level, Door/Gate 8 or 9.

For a deeper look at hotel-based options, the YUL park and fly hotels guide covers what is included in each hotel parking package and how to compare them side by side.

Which Off-Site Lot Fits Your Flight Time?

Your departure time matters as much as the daily rate. Here is a quick breakdown:

• Early flights before 6 AM: Only Eyepark Airport runs a shuttle at that hour (24/7, every 15 min). Autoparc RM and AutoParc Prime have no shuttle before 6:15 AM, and the Autoparc RM lot is locked until 6 AM.
• Flights between 4–8:30 AM: Baymont Inn runs every 30 minutes starting at 4 AM — a solid choice for early morning departures.
• Standard daytime flights: All five lots cover you. Autoparc RM at C$12.55/day is the cheapest, but call ahead for the shuttle since it runs on demand only.
• Late-night returns after 11 PM: Quality Hotel Montreal Airport offers on-demand shuttle service overnight. Eyepark Airport runs 24/7 every 15 minutes. Both are reliable for late arrivals.
• Maximum security: Quality Hotel Montreal Airport features a fully fenced lot, two gated entrances, and 24/7 CCTV cameras. Eyepark Airport stores your car inside a secured garage.

Travelers choosing between hotel lots and pure parking lots sometimes weigh amenities like breakfast and Wi-Fi. Research on what travelers look for in an airport parking lot shows that shuttle reliability and security rank higher than price for most travelers on longer trips.

How Much Do You Actually Save Off-Site vs. On-Airport?

At C$12.55/day, Autoparc RM costs 58% less than AéroParc A1 or EconoParc P9 at C$30/day — based on current Triply rates and ADM secondary-source data. Over a 7-day trip, that is roughly C$122 in savings before tax. Even Eyepark Airport at C$19.90/day saves you C$71 over a week compared to EconoParc P9, while adding 24/7 valet and a 15-minute shuttle frequency.

These savings grow further against terminal-side lots. A week at ValetParc (C$50/day) costs roughly C$350. A week at Autoparc RM (C$12.55/day) costs roughly C$88 before tax — a difference of over C$260. The trade-off is the shuttle ride and the earlier booking minimum of 3 days.

YUL Parking Map and Lot Guide: Access Routes and Road Context

YUL sits about 20 km (12 miles) west of downtown Montreal, in the city of Dorval, near the border of Saint-Laurent. The main access roads are Autoroute 20 and Autoroute 520 (Côte-de-Liesse), both feeding onto the airport ring road. Autoroute 13 and Autoroute 40 (Trans-Canada / Metropolitan) provide connections from the north and east. Chemin de la Côte-de-Liesse and Boulevard Montréal-Toronto are surface-road alternatives for drivers coming from nearby neighbourhoods like Pointe-Claire or Lachine.

Drive time from downtown is typically 20–45 minutes, depending on traffic at the Turcot interchange. Peak-hour congestion on Autoroute 20 can push that to 45 minutes or longer. Budget extra time and use a live traffic app to avoid surprises.

How to Use This YUL Parking Map and Lot Guide to Book the Right Spot

Picking the right YUL lot comes down to three questions: How long is your trip? What time does your flight depart? And how much shuttle time can you comfortably absorb?

1. Short trip (1–2 days), any time: Short-Term or HotelParc at the terminal. Walk to check-in. No shuttle needed.
2. Medium trip (3–6 days), normal hours: AéroParc A1 or EconoParc P9 on-airport at C$30/day, or Autoparc RM off-site at C$12.55/day if you can manage the on-demand shuttle.
3. Long trip (7+ days), any hours: Off-site is almost always cheaper. AutoParc Prime or Baymont Inn for good value; Eyepark Airport for 24/7 peace of mind.
4. Early or late flight (before 4 AM or after 11:30 PM): Eyepark Airport is the only off-site lot running shuttles at those hours.
5. Need security above all: Quality Hotel Montreal Airport (fenced, gated, CCTV) or Eyepark Airport (secured garage).

Before you drive, confirm your lot's shuttle hours match your actual departure time. Booking through Triply shows shuttle hours, minimum stay requirements, and live pricing in one place. All five off-site lots listed here offer free cancellation, so you can lock in today's rate and adjust if plans change.

For travelers curious about how independent lots earn more revenue from airport parking demand, the guide on off-airport parking vs. the airport garage explains the business model from the lot owner's perspective — useful context if you are researching why off-site pricing is so different from on-airport rates.
