Parking at McGill University’s Downtown Campus
Parking and Transportation Services manages campus parking from 1010 Sherbrooke West, suite 525 S, with a parking telephone number of 514-398-4559 (mcgill.ca). Students can apply for parking at the McIntyre, priced at $636.50 for 4 months, with payment available in one installment or two installments of $318.25 (mcgill.ca). This is the relevant permit route for regular student parking rather than occasional visits.
Visitors can use the outdoor lots on weekdays with entry between 6am and 5pm. The visitor rate is $4.25 per 30 minutes, up to a daily maximum of $22 (mcgill.ca). Public access to the main-campus parking area is available on weekends and on weekday evenings after 5pm (mcgill.ca), making those periods more practical for visitors who are not using a student permit.
When Sherbrooke-Area Parking Fills Up
The visitor schedule runs from 6am to 5pm on Monday to Friday (mcgill.ca), while the main-campus area opens to the public on weekday evenings after 5pm and at weekends (mcgill.ca).
Campus events and open days can add concentrated demand around 845 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, particularly when prospective students and families arrive together. The nearby public streets should not be treated as overflow parking: signs and local restrictions govern each block, while campus access rules still apply to the university lots. A driver attending an event is better placed using a reservable nearby space than circling the surrounding streets during a busy arrival period.
Parksy Spaces Close to the McGill Campus
The closest priced Parksy option is a parking lot 90 m away at $3.15 an hour, suitable for a short student visit or a visitor coming to the downtown campus. A second parking space in Montreal’s Plateau area is 110 m away at $3.15 an hour. Its slightly longer walk can suit a student or staff member who wants a lower hourly rate near the university.
For longer stays, covered parking on Avenue Lorne is 130 m away and costs $150 a month, making it the strongest fit for staff or students needing recurring access. A parking space at 3587 Avenue Lorne is 160 m away at $3.70 an hour, while another downtown parking lot at the same distance also costs $3.70 an hour. A Mile End parking space is 200 m away at $5 an hour, which suits a visitor who values a nearby hourly option over the lower-priced spaces.
Other Car Parks Around 845 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest
The campus is not the only place to leave a vehicle in the wider downtown area. McGill’s Parking and Transportation Services lists the 680 Sherbrooke garage as open from 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday (mcgill.ca). The McIntyre garage has entry open from 6am to 10pm Monday to Friday for permit holders only (mcgill.ca), so it is not a general visitor alternative.
Drivers comparing other facilities can also consider the covered multi-level parking lot at the MUHC. The facility has entrances from Pine Avenue and Cedar Avenue, with parking on levels P1, P2, P13 and P14 (muhc.ca). These are separate from the university’s visitor lots. A shopping-centre or municipal car park should be assessed by its posted free-period and payment rules at the entrance, since no such rule is specified for the nearby facilities listed here.
Walking From McGill Station to the Campus
McGill station is the nearest rail access point, at 640 m from the campus and an 8-minute walk. The station is useful for drivers who prefer to leave a car in a nearby space and complete the final part of the journey on foot, particularly when campus parking is busy.
The short walk also makes the station practical for visitors meeting someone at 845 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, students carrying a light bag and staff travelling into the downtown campus. Parking farther from the university can therefore remain workable when the closest spaces are occupied, provided the driver allows time for the walk between the vehicle and McGill station before continuing to the campus.
