## Car storage here

Vancouver does not have a long snow season, so car storage here is less about winter and more about space: condo parking, a car kept while living abroad, or a weekend car that is driven rarely.

It is the most expensive market in Canada for car storage. Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey usually cost less than the city itself.

## Street and driveway rules

Why a car that sits for months is better off in storage here. Summaries of official city pages, October 2026.

- A vehicle without valid insurance may not be parked on streets or lanes. A vehicle can be treated as abandoned if it has no licence, insurance or plates, or has been parked on a street for more than 14 days (Street and Traffic By-law 2849; Impounding By-law 13709, as cited by the city). (source: https://vancouver.ca/streets-transportation/abandoned-vehicles.aspx)
- ICBC: if you cancel your insurance, the plates go back to an Autoplan broker and the refund depends on the time left. (source: https://www.icbc.com/insurance/buy-renew-cancel/Cancel-your-insurance)

Rules change. Check the city page before you rely on them. This is not legal advice.
