The way the Pay and Go system works is very simple, but it does take a little getting used to.
Off-street
Off-street parking managed by Stationnement de Montréal provides short-term and monthly permit parking spaces. Business hours and rates vary from one lot to another. Consult the map of off-street parking lots and click on the lots for all the details.
For any question or to put yourself on a waiting list for a monthly parking spot, just one number: 514-868-3737.
On-street
The role of paid on-street parking is to facilitate visits to institutional and business districts by promoting the sharing of parking spaces.
By limiting authorized parking time in very busy districts, paid on-street parking allows many drivers to use the same parking space in succession and thus, promotes better vehicle turnover and smoother traffic flow.
Montreal has four rate zones, in service every day of the week. Chargeable periods are established to stimulate vehicle turnover during business hours.
Watch out for mini-posters and instructions on parking signs and parking meters. Exceptions can apply: also check all parking signs at the place you park.
Consult the map of paid on-street parking zones for more details.
