Review from Roma M.
Short Term Parking gets flying colours for the pick up, but as far as a long-term stay there are better options available through the airport. You can usually get an ace spot right near a walkway to the terminal at any time of the day. The payment system is super convenient and clear.
The long-term parking or value park lot and garage are trickier, they are far more reliable than some private lot, though the entrance to the link train is now confusing as anything. Also beware of the make-your-own-spot locations since 50% of the cars are parked illegally.Listed in: February Food-Free Yelping…, Travel

The parking lot is 100% better since installing the new ticket machines.

Great if you are picking up some one at Terminal 1. The $3 for the first 20 minute really give me enough almost 40 minute from the moment I got my parkng recipet from the machine till I drove out of the parking lot.
The short term parkings are located right near the walkway to the Terminal and for me just means a couple minute of walk to get to the arrival level.
For long term parking, I would rather park off site by paying half the price. But by paying a premium, you don't need to take a shuttle with all your luggage and a covered parking lot does shield you from the natural elements (rain and snow!!!) -
Review from Andrew Y.
I don't have much to add other than when I go, I find it pretty easy to get around. Though, I can understand the suicidal comment. Nice!

Review from sarah l.
The parking at Toronto Airport makes me homicidal.
The good:
- There are always empty spaces.
- It's 'covered' so even though it's freezing in the winter, you don't have to shovel your car out of a snowbank when you get home.
The bad:
- The empty spaces are closer to my house than to the terminal.
- It's $140 a week to park there. Seriously. That's more than the increased metropass for a month!
- The signage in the parking garage... is non existent and confusing. Example: An arrow pointing "up" on a sign doesn't mean keep going straight. It actually means turn right and go up the ramp. The arrows pointing right mean go straight. I vomit at the thought of their fucked up wayfinding and want to send them some books on the subject.
- The exit is on the 4th level. If you ever need to park here you should write that down now, because I'm the only person that will tell you this critical piece of information. There are no signs that impart this detail.
- At least 2 of the only 5 payment machines are ALWAYS out of service and they are usually the only ones that take debit.
Would I park here again?
Unfortunately, yes. And now that I know all the secrets (like that the exit is on the 4th floor) I usually get in & out pretty fast. I am still horrifically offended by the price and the overall confusion of the structure, but it's the closest place to park and you don't have to take any shuttles, you just walk for forever to the terminal.
