Having trouble finding secure bike parking downtown? The Vancouver City Centre Bike Valet will help you safely store your bike while you enjoy events, shop at local businesses, or explore the city!
This new bike valet location is thanks to a partnership between Cadillac Fairview, TransLink, the City of Vancouver, the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, and BEST (Better Environmentally Sound Transportation).
Bike valets help reduce carbon emissions, free up space from cars downtown, and keep people active during the summer. Located at TD Plaza right outside Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain Station, this free service will operate seven days a week from June 19 to Sept. 1, 2023, during the following times:
- Monday to Friday: 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

How the Bike Valet Works
Ride your bike to the bike valet tent at Georgia St. and Granville St., and we’ll take care of the rest. Just like a coat-check, onsite staff will add a tag to your bike and provide you with a claim stub. Enjoy your day downtown, and bring back your stub when you want your bike returned. You can even leave your helmet or paniers on your bike, as long as they are securely attached. The bike valet is not limited to bicycles – we’ll accept other mobility devices such as cargo bikes and e-bikes!
Please note: bikes can only be left at the Bike Valet during operating hours and must be collected by the owner before closing. Bikes and other devices left overnight will be removed at the owner’s risk and may be impounded with the Vancouver Police Department.
The valet will also offer sustainable transportation resources, including City of Vancouver pocket maps, TransLink’s Regional Cycling Maps, as well on-site registration for Project 529, a program designed to reduce bike theft and recover stolen bicycles.
Why Use the Bike Valet
The Bike Valet offers convenient and secure bicycle parking FREE to cyclists and personal mobility device users, at events throughout the year.
