Terminal layout at YUL
For arrival planning, start with the terminal layout. Montréal-Trudeau operates one large passenger terminal divided into domestic, international and U.S. transborder sectors. Travelers remain within the same terminal complex, but should follow the correct sector signs because security, U.S. preclearance and gate areas differ by destination.
Official parking at YUL
The airport-operated parking picture is straightforward to compare once you know the main facilities. YUL offers several official parking products and a free CellParc waiting area for drivers collecting passengers. During the current parking-redevelopment period, some services have moved: car-rental counters are in P4 and ValetParc has been relocated to HotelParc, so drivers should check the airport's latest directions before travel.
Rental cars and ground transport
For rental cars and onward travel, the airport currently uses the following arrangements. Car-rental counters are currently in P4 with a free shuttle from the terminal's Leigh-Capreol drop-off area. Taxis, rideshare and public transportation serve the airport, while the terminal's curb and parking network uses designated pickup/drop-off zones to manage congestion.
Passenger facilities at YUL
Inside the passenger areas, these facilities can make the journey easier. YUL also runs a Pet Squad volunteer program that can accompany eligible travelers through the airport on request. The terminal covers extensive food and retail, passenger-assistance and accessibility services, airline lounges and facilities for travelers with reduced mobility.
Accessible parking and assisted travel
Accessible parking and assisted travel are easiest when arrangements are checked before the day of departure. Aéroports de Montréal publishes assistance for reduced mobility, visual or hearing impairment and service-dog users. Accessible transport and parking support is provided, including assistance between designated drop-off/parking areas and the terminal.
