Parking in Montreal without circling the block

Parking in Montreal: what to know

Downtown Montreal and the Quartier des spectacles

Office towers, shopping on Sainte-Catherine Street, the Bell Centre and Place des Arts draw crowds every day of the week. Street spaces turn over quickly and garages fill up on event nights. Reserve your spot ahead to arrive on time for a meeting, a Canadiens game or a show.

Old Montreal and the Old Port

The cobblestone streets of Old Montreal are narrow, and parking around the Old Port, Place Jacques-Cartier and Notre-Dame Basilica fills up quickly in summer and during the holidays. Booking in advance lets you compare nearby lots and walk to your destination.

Monthly parking in Montreal

Working downtown, studying at McGill, Concordia or UQAM, or living in a permit zone? A monthly spot saves you from searching every day. Where available, reserve parking for a month or more and manage it entirely from the app.

Visiting Montreal attractions by car

Montreal's best-known attractions are spread across the island: the Biosphere and La Ronde at Parc Jean-Drapeau, the Olympic Stadium, the Biodôme and the Botanical Garden in the east, Mount Royal and Saint Joseph's Oratory in the centre, and the Jean-Talon and Atwater markets. Plan your day by reserving parking near each stop, then enjoy your visit without watching the clock.

✓ Book for a few hours or the whole day

Frequently asked questions about parking in Montreal

Where can I park in downtown Montreal?

The simplest option is to reserve a spot in a lot or garage with clicknpark before you leave. Depending on availability, you will find spaces near Sainte-Catherine Street, the Bell Centre, Place des Arts and the Quartier des spectacles, as well as in Old Montreal. Enter your destination in the app, choose your time slot and compare the spots available nearby.

How much does a parking space cost in Montreal?

On average, a parking space in Montreal costs about $2.50 per hour or $165 per month. The price depends mostly on the area (downtown and Old Montreal cost more than residential neighbourhoods), the time of day and nearby events. In the clicknpark app, you see the total price of each available spot before you confirm your reservation.

How does street parking work in Montreal?

Paid on-street parking in Montreal is managed by the Agence de mobilité durable. Rates, hours and maximum durations vary by sector and are shown on signs and pay stations. Many residential streets are reserved for permit holders, and in winter, temporary signs announce snow removal operations during which parked vehicles can be towed. Reserving an off-street spot with clicknpark lets you avoid these constraints.

How do I book parking in Montreal with clicknpark?

You can book parking in Montreal in 4 steps: 1) download the clicknpark app on iOS or Android, 2) enter your destination, such as an address, a neighbourhood or a venue, 3) choose your date and how long you need the spot, then pay in the app, 4) follow the access instructions in your reservation when you arrive. You see the total price before you confirm.

Can I reserve parking near the Bell Centre or for an event in Montreal?

Yes. For a Canadiens game at the Bell Centre, a show at Place des Arts or a festival in the Quartier des spectacles, you can reserve your spot in advance in the clicknpark app. Arriving with a guaranteed spot saves you from circling the block on busy event nights. Our venue pages show the parking options near each location.

Can I use the app to rent long-term parking in Montreal?

Yes. You can reserve a monthly parking space in Montreal (one month or more) directly in the clicknpark app, where available. Search near your home, office or campus, check which spots offer monthly reservations and book the one that suits you. It is a practical option if you live in a permit zone or work downtown.

What should I do if I need more time for my parking?

If you booked with clicknpark and need additional time, simply open the app and navigate to your “Reservations” section. Select the active booking you’d like to extend, and you’ll see an option to add more hours (subject to availability). Confirm the new time you need, and we’ll adjust your booking details right away. This flexible feature ensures you’re never left searching for alternative parking at the last minute.

Your guide to parking in Montreal

Parking in downtown Montreal

Around Sainte-Catherine Street, René-Lévesque Boulevard and McGill College Avenue, demand for parking is the highest in the city. On-street spaces are metered and often limited in time. For a full day at the office or an evening out, reserving a spot in a garage close to your destination is usually the most reliable option.

Parking in Old Montreal

Old Montreal and the Old Port attract visitors all year, especially in summer and during the holiday season. The historic streets leave little room for cars, so the closest spaces go fast. Reserve a nearby lot, then explore Place Jacques-Cartier, Notre-Dame Basilica and the waterfront on foot.

Parking near the Bell Centre and Place des Arts

On Canadiens game nights and during shows, festivals and concerts in the Quartier des spectacles, the lots nearby fill up fast. Reserve before you leave, arrive a little early and walk the last few minutes. Our venue pages list parking options close to each location.

Street parking rules in Montreal

Paid on-street parking is managed by the Agence de mobilité durable, with rates and hours that vary by sector. Many residential streets are reserved for permit holders, and in winter, snow removal signs can require you to move your car. Always read the signs carefully, or reserve an off-street spot to avoid tickets and towing.

Monthly and long-term parking

If you commute to Montreal every day, a monthly spot is often simpler than paying by the hour. Where available, clicknpark lets you reserve a space for a month or more near your office, campus or home, and manage your reservation from your phone.
