Thanks to our Rick Steves consultant, Linda, we are flying out of Vancouver BC and saving a tremendous amount on airfare! We will be driving from Seattle to Vancouver and will need to park our car for 2 weeks. Any suggestions about the safest and best deals out there?
Thanks so much!

Park and Ride at airport. I think it is about CAD$75 per week.

aew,
A few options......

I vaguely recall that some hotels near the airport may provide limited parking for guests that stay at least one night. I can't remember the details, so you'll have to check online.
YVR is a really nice airport and I always enjoy transiting through there.

We did the exact same thing last summer. Our flight left at 1:00pm on Sat, but we chose to drive up the night before so as not to stress about timing our trip with border waits/traffic. Used stayparktravel.com to find a hotel. Chose the Quality Hotel on Westminster Hwy. Cost was $160 CDN for all 4 of us, and included room, free breakfast, parking for up to 21 days and shuttle to/from the airport. So the cost was justified with just the parking alone (flight out of Vancouver, when compared to flying out of SEA, saved us about $1200 US, so it was a no brainer!).
Added bonus, with the favorable exchange rate, all the goodies you buy in the airport while waiting for your flight are essentially on sale for 20-30% off! : )
