Leaving your vehicle for days or weeks while you travel from Calgary International Airport (YYC) may raise a few questions. We will not promise an outcome for any lot. Instead, this guide sticks to the questions to ask before you book, so you can choose with a calm head.
What a Lot Listing Should Tell You
Every lot near the airport lists its own details, so read the listing for the one you like. Check these details:
- Take your valuables with you. Do not leave anything in sight in the vehicle.
- Check the hours and see if they match your flight times.
- Look for the address, the check-in steps and the rules for your stay.
- Cold weather: if you use a block heater, ask whether the lot has plug-in power.
If the listing does not say, ask the lot directly. Keep the answer with your confirmation.

Planning Around a Calgary Winter
Alberta suggests checking your tires, battery, antifreeze, brakes, heater, defroster and wipers before winter driving. It also says to skip travel in a winter storm unless you must go, and 511 Alberta shows road conditions. Allow extra time for the drive and the shuttle.
How Much Time to Allow
YYC asks you to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight. Add the time you need at the lot and on the shuttle.
