YVR Parking for Picking up Passengers at ArrivalsUnfortunately, Vancouver Airport does not have a cell phone lot. We hope YVR will build one soon, especially in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. It would definitely make parking at Vancouver Airport easier for picking up arriving passengers.
There is currently limited parking places available to park on a temporary basis when picking up passengers at the Arrivals level (level 2). They are located at:
These spots are for immediate loading and unloading only, and the driver must not leave the vehicle at any time for security reasons. Parking officials are nearby at all times enforcing the rules. Where to Drop Off Passengers at Vancouver AirportTo drop off departing passengers at YVR, simply drive up to departures level (3) where there's room in front of the Domestic and International Terminal buildings for immediate drop offs. The Domestic Terminal is the most crowded of them all, and can get get very busy between 7 AM and 12 noon.
Parking at Vancouver Airport South TerminalYou can park right beside the South Terminal at YVR, and the cost is quite reasonable (we'll update this info as soon as we have access to it).
