$15–$36/day buys you YUL’s budget on-airport parking: EconoParc
EconoParc is Montréal–Trudeau’s long-term economy option, with posted daily rates in the roughly C$15–36 range depending on which lot and date you pick. It undercuts the terminal garage, but you still park on airport property and pay the airport directly, not a third-party lot across Côte‑de‑Liesse.
All EconoParc variants are true long‑term setups, aimed at trips of several days to a couple of weeks, not quick drop‑offs. A OneStopParking breakdown pegs economy-type products at C$15–22/day for the lower bands, while Seven Days VT cites around C$30–36/day for the higher bands, so pricing can swing a lot with demand and proximity.
A key detail: the 24/7 shuttle buses between EconoParc and the terminal are included in the day rate. Seven Days VT notes there’s no extra shuttle fee, so your parking ticket covers both the stall and the ride. Buses run all day and night, so late Air Transat or early Air Canada departures are still covered.
Compared with the multi‑level terminal structure that starts around the low C$20s per day, the cheaper EconoParc bands save meaningful cash if you’re willing to factor in shuttle time. Figure roughly a 5–10 minute bus ride plus a few minutes of waiting, instead of walking straight from the garage into departures.
Regulars treat EconoParc like a yield‑managed hotel and reserve online in advance through the official YUL system. The regional YUL guide flags pre‑booking as standard practice, partly to lock in the lower C$15–22 pricing and partly to avoid “lot full” signs before a busy holiday weekend.
Pro tip: check your flight time, then add a 30‑minute buffer on top of your normal airport arrival if you’re using EconoParc, to cover shuttle waits, luggage wrangling, and a slower security line.
