YYJ Airport Parking | Victoria, British Columbia

Airport guidance reviewed August 2026. Terminal, official parking, transport, accessibility and hotel-area information can change. Check the official airport website and your booking confirmation again before travel.

Terminal layout at YYJ

For arrival planning, start with the terminal layout. Check-in, security, departures and arrivals are within the same building, and the airport's close-in parking means most travelers can walk between the public lots and the terminal without a parking shuttle. Victoria International uses a single compact passenger terminal.

Official parking at YYJ

The airport-operated parking picture is straightforward to compare once you know the main facilities. YYJ publishes short- and long-stay airport parking, with the closest public spaces only about a one- to two-minute walk from the terminal. Parking rates changed in July 2026, so travelers should use the airport's live parking page for current charges rather than relying on older third-party rates.

Parking comparison tip: Treat parking as part of the airport journey rather than a separate purchase. The right choice balances price, terminal access, transfer time and booking flexibility.

Rental cars and ground transport

For rental cars and onward travel, the airport currently uses the following arrangements. BC Transit serves YYJ with frequent connections to the McTavish Transit Exchange and onward links toward downtown Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula and Swartz Bay. Five on-airport rental-car companies have counters in Arrivals opposite the Information Desk, and taxis/other transport use designated terminal areas.

Passenger facilities at YYJ

Inside the passenger areas, these facilities can make the journey easier. Services and facilities are provided on both sides of security within the compact terminal. The terminal offers free Wi-Fi, food and beverage, shopping, a terminal information service, NEXUS security access for eligible passengers and rotating displays of local art.

Accessible parking and assisted travel

Accessible parking and assisted travel are easiest when arrangements are checked before the day of departure. Accessible parking and step-free terminal access are offered. Passengers needing airline mobility assistance should arrange it in advance, while accessible ground-transport requirements should be confirmed with the chosen taxi, transit or rental provider.
