Lol I'm just parked at broadway and renfrew (abit of a walk, but depending where you wanna go i guess), and there's tons of free street parking (3-6pm exception though).
But now that I think of it it is quite far to cambie... Just wasting time posting I guess lol Posted via RS Mobile | |

1-2 hours? That's like only $2-3 for parking. 
Try parking at a restaurant cheap ass.

Park in the residential neighbourhood and walk a couple blocks. I do it all the time.
Wayyy less chance of being towed than if your park somewhere on Cambie or Broadway.

Along W. 7th and Ash(east side of ash), there is about 4-5 free spaces with no parking regulations. But those spots are usually always taken, unless you go there super early in the morning. Also on W. 7th and Heather there is about 10 spots, but yeah go early.
Otherwise you can take your chance along the residential alleys.

Joking aside,
Doesn't the residential areas require permit?

I say just CanadaLine it. You'd have to luck out to find residential parking in a no permit zone or be extremely early. You can always park at MEC for $2 and walk it 
If you're closer to Oak you can park at the Real Estate Board and pretend to be a Realtor going in for training Shhh I didn't tell you anything!

Sounds like he's using the Canada line to get downtown. Why don't you just park on Cambie and 49th instead? Lots of free parking.

i parked on Manitoba street between 12th and Broadway, usually there's parking along those streets. I used to work in the area and i would usually park next to the little park there. Theres no signs showing that you can't park there so

i use those prepaid credit card ($0 balance) and they work until they ban the number. Some of the cards will say authorization offline. You gotta use a fresh one.

Park at the gravel lot at King Ed and Cambie and take the canada line down, it's only 1 stop and will save u time looking for a spot. there isn't much free parking near VGH except for a few 1hr or 2hr spots. You could try parking at the icafe spots at the holiday inn, I doubt anyone enforces it and they have a few, although 6h is way too long.
