Parking Locations & Rates

The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) is moving towards user pay parking as an equitable and efficient way of covering parking costs by drivers rather than taxpayers.  In addition to over 1,200 privately-run parking spaces in Whistler Village and 2,800 spaces run by Whistler Blackcomb, the RMOW also offers several parking options that serve a range of needs for both residents and visitors. 

Some spaces are priced for convenience when making quick trips to the Village.  Others offer hourly rates, full day rates, overnight rates, discounted monthly passes and underground, heated parking convenience.  For commuters who car pool with a minimum three people, the municipality also offers ride-share parking permits with designated parking spaces.

Where Can I Park in Whistler?

Pay parking in effect for all street level parking from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days per week.

Day Lot Parking Rates:

Parking in Day Lots 4 and 5 is free of charge.

Parking in Day Lots 1, 2, and 3 is free of charge from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Day Lots 4 and 5 are free of charge – maximum 72 hours permitted from April 1 to October 31. No overnight parking permitted November 1 to March 31.  

Day Lot Parking Passes

• Monthly, three-month and six-month Day Lot passes are valid for Day Lots 1, 2, and 3, and can be purchased at the Municipal Hall and at the parking machines in the parking lots. 
• The municipality also sells parking passes for the Whistler Conference Centre underground and library underground. 

Day Lot Parking Pass Terms & Conditions:

• Day Lot Parking Passes are issued per vehicle and are based on the license plate number.
  Passes may be transferred once if a pass holder buys a new vehicle.
• Day Lot Parking Passes are non-refundable.
• Day Lot Parking Pass renewal is at the discretion of the pass holder.
• Day Lot Parking Passes do not guarantee a space.

Typically, there are five to seven days per year when the Day Lots are at capacity. During a few peak hours on these days, it may be difficult to find a space. Lot attendants will work with pass holders to find alternative parking (as available) at no cost to pass holders. Blackcomb Lots 6-8 can be accessed via Glacier Lane. Drivers who are looking for 24-hour/365 day parking access may wish to purchase a dedicated underground space from the RMOW or a private operator. 

As no personal information is collected for pass transactions, neither the RMOW nor Whistler Blackcomb will contact pass holders when passes expire.  Passes may be renewed at any time at Day Lot pay machines or at Municipal Hall during regular office hours.

Gold Parking Permit:

The Gold Parking Permit is a joint venture between the RMOW and the Day Lot Operating Committee. A maximum of 20 Gold Permits are available. Gold Permit holders have the option to park in any Day Lots (subject to availability), the Conference Centre underground, the Conference Centre surface lot, and on Main Street at any time when those lots are open.

Parking Pass Purchase:

There are two ways to purchase municipal parking passes:

• Passes for Day Lots 1, 2 and 3 can be purchased from the parking machines in the lots using a credit card for payment. Note: The pass will be active from the time of purchase.
• At Municipal Hall, 4325 Blackcomb Way during regular business hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
