First time flying from Pearson to the US in a decade, but I was surprised to find my flight was way cheaper from Toronto than from Buffalo, which is where I usually fly from. Anyway, I need to park from Feb. 28 to Mar. 5. Any recommendations? Cheap is good - paying mucho $$$ for parking rubs me the wrong way. Thanks all!

 

Executive Jetport or commercial?

 

American airlines. Terminal 3, I believe.

 

 

Park n Fly. Not the cheap one. No waiting at any stage. Car's ready and warm when you get back. Tour companies have discount coupons.

 

Park N Fly website have coupon, print it out ahead of time before you go.

Skypark http://www.skypark.ca/
I've used them many times over the years and they are a lot cheaper than Park-N-Fly and they don't rip you off like Park-N-Fly does with their fine print.

 

Park and Fly, valet. Call, car is ready, running and cleared of snow.
Park yourself? Dig your own car. There have been winters, when people have spend hours getting out.
Take full photo's of you car at drop off, just like a rental pickup. 12 photo's and document the millage too.

If you park on site? Take a picture of you car in its parking spot. I have a friend, we'll call him Medium Smoke. that has spent hours trying to remember where he parked.
Bring your parking ticket with you, you pay at the elevator when you return.
Again, if your parking in one of those airport towers? Don't park on the outside, you can get buried on the outside walls. Try and keep one to two lanes in.

Either place, hide all valuables. Don't leave a charging cord in sight, hide your garmin, or camera. Wipe that suction cup mark off your windshield, thus suggesting booty/treasure in your glove-box.

+1 on Skypark. Five minute shuttle ride (free) from the airport, and valet parking will cost you around $60 for a week.

 

Hah! Nobody's going to joyride our Odyssey. If they really want to, have at it - your life must be pretty miserable if that'll bring you joy, and I'm happy to be able to brighten in a little bit

Thanks for all the tips!

 

I use Skyway park all the time. Actually I just returned from a trip yesterday and had ~0 waiting to get back to my car (which is a bit unusual). Skyway park matches the discount Park-n-Fly but their parking lot is much, much closer. Plus they lead you to the sport to park your car and then immediately take you to the airport. No waiting at all on the way out, and they are usually less than 10 minutes to pick you up on return.

 

Don't do Park'nFly! I spent an hour+ trying to get out of their lot after my flight yesterday. It was a complete logjam of cars all over the lot. They had one agent handling the line until people started screaming at the staff at which point they opened another one.
Maybe the valet service is better, but I will never give any business to this company again.

 

Take a cab/limo and skip the hassle

 

Actually I was happy to be using an off-site parking when I returned at 1:30am on Monday this week. The lineup for a cab/limo must have been 100 people long. I'm sure I was home well before many of them were

 

Cab from Hamilton is $150 flat rate last time I checked, about 6 or 7 years ago. Nuts to that.
