A safe places to park your car?

Hi guys, I'm staying in a backpackers for a couple days but there's no parking for guests and a parking spot in the center costs as much as what I'm paying for a night at the hostel. Any ideas about where to park safely and not too far away from the city? Thanks a lot in advance

The central city area has parking meters (or "Pay and Display". Outside the real downtown is the "Coupon parking zone" where you need to display a ticket. You can buy a 1 day coupon for $7.50 or a month for $120.

Parking is free outside the coupon parking zone. The closest such places to Courtenay place are probably Carlton Gore Rd and Ohiro Rd.

You can see a map of the coupon parking zone (and list of streets) at

Thanks again Bruce! Ohiro Rd doesn't look that far, seems like a good place, would you say is safe enough?

Whatever you do, DO NOT leave anything in your car that you don't want to lose.

Round past Oriental Bay is free parking and relatively safe for future knowledge. Some backpackers have free parking too.
