Parking at Island Health
Most Island Health sites have paid parking for patients, visitors, staff, and physicians.
You can pay for parking:
- At a parking meter on site
- Using the HONK mobile app (available for iPhones Apple App Store and Androids Google Play Store)
- Using the PayByPhone mobile app (available for iPhones Apple App Store and Androids Google Play Store)
Island Health does not use QR codes for parking payments.
For parking details at a specific hospital or site, visit Locations.
Parking exemptions:
You may not have to pay for parking in certain situations. Talk to your care team or volunteer coordinator to ask about a parking pass. You may qualify for free parking if you:
- Are receiving active cancer treatment or renal dialysis (including related tests and appointments)
- Are a parent or caregiver staying overnight with a child (18 or younger) who is admitted to hospital
- This does not include extended Emergency Department visits
- This does not include routine childbirth stays, unless your newborn remains in hospital after you are discharged
- Are a registered Island Health volunteer
- Support someone in long-term care at least twice per week
If paying for parking is a financial hardship, please contact Parking Services. We review requests on a case-by-case basis.
