Humans say...

if you are BCAA member the park and fly is very affordable. we played 150 for 4 weeks of parking.

Check YVR Coast
Jessica
Pacific gateway hotel

I’ve picked up a rental from YVR the day before flight, dropped of at the airport the day of flight ..... cheap rental always available. Do the same on arrival back at YVR. Cheaper that paying costs at YVR Parking
Kristina
I'm not sure you'll find free parking but the quality inn in Richmond offers a park and fly rate that is reasonable. They also offer you free drop off and pick up at YVR.
Lene
Many will offer reasonable pay to park option. Cheaper than airport
Barb
Check the coast airport.
Sharron
We have used the Coast hotel lots. One thing to be aware of is 24 hr shuttle. Not all offer that

Another thing to keep in mind - if you are gone longer than 4 weeks - even by a day - your car is considered storage and you don’t pay all the steep parking taxes. We go away for just over 4 weeks every year and we park at the park and fly - total cost around $150. If we were to go for 1 day shy of 4 weeks it would be closer to 400! Saying that I have never been able to find a hotel long term free parking here in Vancouver for over 2 weeks. But for shorter stays (as in under a month) jet set is usually cheaper. I would say paying for the parking would be cheaper than paying for a hotel for the night!

Thank you all so much for the advice!

Additional Tips for Finding Extended Free Parking
- Check the hotel website or call directly: Many hotels may offer extended free parking upon request or based on availability.
- Consider off-site parking options: Some hotels may partner with nearby parking facilities to provide long-term parking at a discounted rate, even if they don't offer free parking on-site.
- Negotiate with the hotel: If you're staying for a longer period, ask if the hotel can offer reduced parking rates or other incentives.
- Book through a travel agent: Travel agents may have access to exclusive deals and discounts on airport hotel parking.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Restrictions and fees: Some airport hotels may impose restrictions on long-term parking, such as a maximum stay duration or a fee after a certain number of days.
- Availability: Extended free parking may not always be available, especially during peak travel seasons.
- Vehicle security: Ensure the parking area is well-lit and secure, and take precautions to protect your vehicle.
By choosing an airport hotel with extended free parking, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your car is safe and secure while you're away. Do your research, check with the hotels directly, and consider your options carefully to find the best solution for your travel needs.
