Heading down to Sandals Whitehouse for a week end of Nov and wanted to figure out parking at Pearson. Is it worth it to use the covered parking at Pearson? The last time I used Park'n'Fly, someone backed into my Jetta and dented the hood. I know some of you guys are frequent flyers, any tips/tricks would be appreciated. We're also thinking of staying the night before near (or at the airport) can I pay extra to leave the car at the hotel for a week?

Park n fly is shit and if you care about your car, pass. Seems like you always roll the dice on coming back to a damaged car.
I park at pearson, YOLO.
Your hotel will offer parking for sure and it's pretty cheap. Definitely your best bet imo $$$ wise.
If you are paying for the hotel though, might as well just park at the airport and not get a hotel if that helps

did something similar to this - http://www.travelzoo.com/ca/local-deals/Toronto/Getaway/237133?tz_adid=2363077 - in June when the GF and I went out to BC
our flight was at 7 so this was a no brainer to stay near by....and you just park your own car in the hotel parking structure
the hotel wasn't the nicest but we were literally there from 11pm - 545am so it didn't even matter

I can get covered parking at Pearson for $108. Not to shabby, I just wish I had a promo code to save a bit more. I really don't want to come back to a car covered in ice/snow.

Just found a promo code on RFD for parking at Terminal 1 for $111. I think I'd do that. Closer then the other lot for only $3 more.

I need to find some LCB4 sport seats.

$111 is not bad.
Leaving next week to punta Cana and we are using the fob equivalent of uber ants going to be $110 round trip. I would take my car instead but the mazda2 isn't big enough lol

we flew to nyc thanksgiving weekend... 4 days was < 100 at t3... couldn't be bothered... - good call though. kiddo lost his shit on the way back from an hr flight... - whole plane got to know him

my friend's parents used chinese uber and it was pretty shitty. fob dude that doesn't speak a lick of english, didn't say a word the whole drive, they dropped me off at my place and waited til the absolute last possible second to get on the spadina off ramp...and all of this is being done in a pretty poorly kept Dodge Caravan, but it cost only like $60 from Pearson to Markham with a downtown drop off at 1 in the morning....so it depends on how much you value your money over everything else.

Be like brown people and have your uncle drop you off and pick you up. it's brown ppl law not to pay for airport parking.
This. Goes for my family too. God I hate dropping by my parents at the airport at the most fucked up times because they chose a cheap flight

when i flew out of porter to NY at like 4am i uber'd it, but canceled and called the guy directly, $40 from maple to porter. i made sure to save the guy's phone number so i'll china it down to the airport if i don't want to inconvenience uncle.

Less than 4 days. = Viscount Rd (airport terminal parking, Value parking)
More than 4 days = Park n fly, gotta be smart on spot location.
More than a week, it's cheaper to take Uber/ Taxi, get a buddy to drop off and/or pick up.

I agree though, the M-Sport steering wheel is insanely awesome.
M-Sport with added heat would be killer. Just gotta get someone to re-wrap it after adding heat. Really shouldn't be a big deal, or you just pick up a Z4 E89 steering wheel.

< 3 days = valet, only $120 and you get free bottled water, comes handy after a dehydrating flight, leave $10 in the cupholder and your car is right at the doors when you return
> 3 days = cab, only $100 round trip and don't have to load/unload luggage

It's much thicker than the standard wheel, I wonder how effective the heating element would be.

Yeah, I'm not to sure. Another reason to go with the Z4 E89 wheel instead.
