Share the convenience

Parking can be hard, but where you can park should be easy. Take a look below for a breakdown of where you can park for free and where you can’t park in either our Metro Vancouver or Victoria Home Zones. Make sure you remember that you are still required to obey all the usual signage, restrictions, and by-laws. Members are also on the hook for any tickets or tows if parked illegally during stopovers, or when ending trips in any non-designated or approved Evo spots.

If you are unsure of where to park, feel free to give us a call and we can help clarify.

Stopovers only

If you would like to keep the car reserved while not driving, you can make a stopover. You can do this through our Evo app by selecting the "pause" and "resume trip" button to lock and unlock the doors during your stop. Or, use the key fob located in the glove box to lock and unlock the car. Just keep in mind that your trip time keeps accumulating while you’re in stopover mode.

Note: If you’re in an area with low reception (e.g. underground parkades or remote areas outside the Home Zone) or if you’re in one of our cars that doesn’t have a key fob, make sure you have Bluetooth enabled for the Evo App to ensure connectivity.

Just make sure you don’t wait too long to pause your trip as the Evo will automatically end the trip if all the conditions are met. You can park at the below spots only when you are making a stopover but ensure you still follow any time or noted restriction and remember to not end your trip at these spots or you will get a ticket.

Can I park at the airport?

Yes, there is a satellite Home Zone at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). You can end your trip there for a $5 drop off fee. And, you can choose to drop off or pick up at either the Templeton Canada Line station or at the Park’N Fly lot.

Here’s how it works:

Templeton Canada Line Station

Dropping Off

  1. To enter the parking area, turn right on Templeton Station Rd from Templeton Street. Once you see the Evo sign, turn right into the lot to park in one of the dedicated Evo parking spots.
  2. Once you’ve ended your trip, walk to the Templeton Canada Line Station and tap your Compass, debit or credit card at the gate to access your free ride to the main YVR terminal (note: it’s 2 stops to the terminal).
  3. If you are ending your trip between 1am-5am, the Canada Line will not be in service so you must take the free A3 shuttle from the bus stop at the employee lot. This shuttle will arrive every 20 minutes. If you are going to the South Terminal, take the A1 Shuttle from outside doors 5 or 16 at the airport.

Please note, there’s no overflow parking at the Templeton Station. If the lot is full, just head to Park’N Fly.

Picking Up

  1. Reserve in the Evo App before you leave the airport.
  2. Head to the YVR Canada Line Station and tap your Compass, debit or credit card at the gate to access your free ride to Templeton Station. Use the north exit for direct access to the designated Evo stalls.
  3. If you are ending your trip between 1am-5am, the Canada Line will not be in service so you must take the free A3 shuttle which stops at doors 5 and 16 on level 3 of the airport. Get off at the employee lot to access your Evo. This shuttle will arrive every 20 minutes.

Park’N Fly

Dropping Off

  1. Enter Park’N Fly through the main entrance.
  2. End your trip and leave your Evo with the valet parking attendant.
  3. Make a note of your Evo’s license plate number.
  4. Head inside the Park’N Fly building to register your Evo.
  5. Take the shuttle, which departs every 8 minutes, to both the International and Domestic terminals and the Canada Line Skytrain. Note: You’ll need to go up one level from the shuttle drop-off to reach Departures or the Canada Line platform.

Picking Up

  1. Reserve in the Evo App before you leave the airport.
  2. Shuttle pickup is on Level 3—you’ll need to go up one level from Arrivals. Shuttles run every 8 minutes.
  3. Tell the shuttle driver you're an Evo Member picking up a car.
  4. At Park’N Fly, show your Evo App at the checkout counter to get your exit pass.
  5. You'll be directed to your Evo and just start your trip as usual.

If you need help, contact Park’N Fly at 1-800-717-4711.

 

Parking at satellite locations

We have satellite parking locations – designated parking areas where you can start and end your Evo trip – at YVR Airport, Grouse Mountain, Park Royal (P5) and University campuses such as UBC, SFU, BCIT, Capilano University, University of Victoria, and Camosun College Lansdowne Campus.  

Parking at any of our satellite parking locations is only allowed in Evo reserved spots, or designated overflow lots when reserved parking locations are full, check the app to view the locations and descriptions of lots. If you’re making a stopover at any of our satellite parking locations, you can park your Evo in non-reserved spots or lots, just make sure to pay for parking otherwise you may get a ticket or a tow.

 

Tandem Parking

Our lot on Expo Blvd (603 Expo Blvd), near Costco and the Stadium Skytrain Station, is our only location that allows tandem parking, which is when two cars are able to park right behind one another in a single spot. When parking in a space that allows two Evo cars, make sure you pull all the way up to the sign post to allow other Members to park behind you.

If you have reserved a car that is blocked in by another Evo, we recommend you cancel your current reservation and take another Evo from the spot if it’s available.
