Vancouver airport parking
Anyone ever parked at a parking lot near YVR run by Jetset, they are also listed on the YVR wesbite.
They have fairly poor reviews online with the bulk of the bad reviews it seems in the last month or 2.
Flying out at the end of the month and trying to decide if its worth the risk parking there or just better to pay more and park at the airport.
We live too far from the airport for transit or a taxi, so parking there is the most affordable option and really only option.
Just wondering if anyone has parked in that lot, or know of other lots in the area offsite that could be cheaper then the airport itself.

I've used it several times for longer term parking (1 month+) and not had any problems. What issues are being raised with it? Pre-booking gets you the best deal.

Re: Vancouver airport parking
Its not a ton of reviews and thought I would see if anywhere has used them, they have the best rate by far, so I am likely going to use them as they seem to have a good location as well as good rate.

Re: Vancouver airport parking
Long wait times, and issues with pre-paying and credit card used not being recognized seems to the the bulk of the issues, and a few with long shuttle waits.

I'd be worried if I saw complaints pertaining to vehicle damage, break-ins, fraudulent transactions, dubious penalty fees, no security attendants, etc.

When it comes to airport parking services, these are not what I would consider to be "severe" problems - as it relates to the business of airport parking.

I cant comment about Vancouver but I used to do an online search of cheapest parking for London Gatwick and Heathrow - never had any issues when parking or returning to get my car

Re: Vancouver airport parking
Another possibility, which friends from Vancouver Island used a lot, but which depends on the timing of your flights .................
They would arrange an early morning flight out and a late arriving return.
Then they would book into a certain hotel near the airport, and leave their car in the hotel car park while they were away. No charge if they stayed at least the one night.
I don't know how many hotels offer that service ........ but they found this particular one did, and it worked very well for them.

Rates are 130-140 + tax with the parking so not huge amount, but the trip is fairly unplanned last minute as my dad bought the tickets and wanted us to come down on specific dates, so we may have to cut back and just do the parking which is $67 or so at the place in the OP if paid in advance.
Almost which we had just booked out of Bellingham, there really is no advantage to YVR when your out in the Fraser Valley....lol

Re: Vancouver airport parking
Just dropped the truck at JetSet today.
The problem is they are doing 'online' reconstruction. Only one exit gate in operation apparently and resurfacing parking/changing layout.
Brand new buses by the look of it too.
Seems ok otherwise...

Re: Vancouver airport parking
They do at times have seasonal flights to Mexico and Las Vegas apparently, according to their website.
But overall its a pretty useless airport for us since we go to San Diego and going to Calgary first is a bit out of the way.... lol
