YVR terminal information

Vancouver International has a large Main Terminal with connected Domestic and International areas, plus a separate South Terminal serving selected regional, charter and floatplane-related operations. Most scheduled airline passengers use the Main Terminal, so the airline and flight information should be checked before driving to a terminal-specific parking area.

Official parking at Vancouver International Airport

Official options include the parkade adjacent to the Main Terminal, jetSet YVR remote parking with shuttle service, Value Long Term parking and Gateway Valet. Covered walkways connect the main parkade to the terminal, while remote products use designated shuttle stops at Domestic and International Departures.

Rental cars and ground transportation

The Canada Line rapid-transit station is integrated with the Main Terminal, providing a direct rail link to Richmond and downtown Vancouver. Rental cars are on the ground floor of the parkade steps from the terminal, and taxis, rideshare, hotel shuttles and courtesy shuttles use designated curb areas.

Passenger services and terminal facilities

YVR has extensive dining and shopping, airline lounges, free passenger connectivity, family and accessibility services, Indigenous art and displays, and a broad selection of traveler services across the Domestic and International areas. Courtesy shuttles also connect selected hotels, off-airport car rentals and airport parking products.

Accessibility and assisted travel at YVR

YVR is designed around step-free terminal and parkade connections, accessible ground transportation and dedicated passenger-assistance services. Travelers should still arrange airline mobility assistance in advance when they need support through check-in, security or boarding.

YVR map and official airport information

If you reserve an independent/off-airport parking facility or a hotel parking package, use the separate address and arrival instructions in that confirmation rather than navigating to the passenger terminal by default.

Frequently asked questions about YVR

What should I confirm before driving to Vancouver International Airport (YVR)?

YVR uses multiple terminal, concourse or passenger-processing areas. Confirm your airline’s current terminal before choosing terminal-side parking, and allow extra time if your route requires an inter-terminal connection or transfer.

What should I compare for a longer parking stay at YVR?

For a longer stay at YVR, compare the total trip price rather than the advertised daily rate alone. Also check walking or shuttle time, covered versus outdoor parking, reservation rules, vehicle-height limits, access hours and the provider’s cancellation terms.

Where should I verify pickup, rideshare and rental-car locations at YVR?

Use the official airport map and ground-transport information linked on this page to confirm current rental-car, taxi, rideshare and passenger-pickup locations at YVR. Curb assignments and construction routing can change, so current airport signage should take priority over older directions.

How should I arrange accessible parking or assistance at YVR?

Check YVR’s official accessibility guidance before travel and arrange airline wheelchair or gate assistance directly with the airline when needed. Confirm that your chosen parking facility and any transfer shuttle can accommodate your specific mobility requirements.
