If you are headed travelling through Vancouver International Airport, be ready to pay more to park.
Last week, the airport made the first half-hour of parking free at its main parkade next to the terminal.
But prices after that have gone up to $14 per half-hour, to a maximum of $65 per day.
That’s up significantly from the old rates of $5.50 per 30 minutes, to a maximum of $40.
The airport said the new rates were necessary to “better manage space” for short-term parking, and that its rate for long-term parking remains unchanged.
