YHM Parking Help Hamilton Airport

Hamilton International Airport offers short-term parking directly in front of the Passenger Terminal, and long-term parking just beyond the short-term lot. Both lots are fully automated for entry: Simply pull up to the ticket dispenser at the parking lot entrance and press the button to receive your ticket. Or you can use the express option of credit card in/credit card out. Simply insert your credit card upon entry and again upon exit, using the same credit card (see Payment Methods below).

Accessing/Exiting Parking Lots:
Accessing the parking lots: The two parking lots are serviced by a "ring road" accessible from Airport Road via the main entrance to the airport.
Exiting the parking lots: The exit from both the short-term and long-term parking lots is through the long-term exit located in the southwest corner of the parking lot. Note: If parking in the short-term lot, drive towards the green "Exit" sign and a gate arm will lift to allow access into the long-term lot. Then drive towards the southwest corner of the parking lot and exit near the cashier's kiosk.

Parking Options and Fees: (in Canadian Dollars, incl. taxes. Fees subject to change.)


Lost Ticket: The maximum charge will apply.

Before leaving the terminal and returning to your car, insert the parking ticket into one of the three conveniently located payment stations in the terminal building. You will have the option of paying with credit card or cash. The payment station will provide change, and will issue a receipt upon request. You will receive a "validated" ticket as proof of payment. Take it with you to your car. As you leave the parking lot, pull up to the exit terminal and insert the ticket. The gate will rise allowing you to exit the lot.

3. Pay on Exit (Automated) - Pull up to the entry terminal and push button for ticket. Remove your ticket and the gate will rise providing entry to the lot. Keep the ticket in your car. When exiting, pull up to any of the exit terminals and insert the ticket. Your parking fee is automatically calculated. Insert a credit card and payment will be processed. The gate will rise allowing you to exit the parking lot.

4. Pay on Exit (Manual) - Pull up to the entry terminal and push button for ticket. Remove your ticket and the gate will rise providing entry to the lot. Keep the ticket in your car.
