Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Take the metro to Lucien-L'Allier station - there is more signage and a shorter passage to the arena. Bonaventure is closer if you want to enter from outdoors along Avenue des Canadiens and see the statues.
Take the RESO
Non-event weekday garage parking is a $20 flat daily rate.
Lucien-L'Allier offers the venue's step-free corridor entrance; the connection from Bonaventure is closed.
Gare Centrale and Gare Lucien-L'Allier put commuter-rail riders within the same block.
Accessible spaces are on level B, section B113; EV charging terminals are in the garage.
Pickup trucks are refused during hockey games, and studded tires are refused year-round.
Aim for Lucien-L'Allier, not Bonaventure. The Bonaventure station has an elevator, but its access into the arena is closed.
The Lucien L'Allier corridor is the arena's dedicated step-free entrance.
Clearance in the garage is 6 ft 10 in on level A and 6 ft 3 in on level B.

Parking Rules
What the pass covers, what gets turned away, and the lots that run on their own rules.
Your Pass
- The garage entrance is at 1225 Saint-Antoine O. The main public entrance to the arena is 1909 avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, and the luxury suite entrance is 1205 Saint-Antoine O.
- On event nights the garage runs from noon. On days without events it opens Monday to Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Only credit and debit cards are accepted. No cash.
- Electric vehicle charging terminals are available in the garage.
- Monthly parking passes are arranged by email with the arena's parking office rather than bought online.
Not Allowed In
- The garage has two height limits, one per level: 6'10" on level A and 6'3" on level B.
- Pickup trucks are not accepted during hockey games.
- Vehicles with studded tires are forbidden at all times, a Montréal-specific rule worth checking before you drive in over the winter.
Getting There
The Bell Centre sits directly above its own garage in downtown Montreal, and what it publishes about getting there is addresses and a rate card rather than routes. The garage entrance, the public entrance and the suite entrance are three different doors on two different streets, and the arena's most specific arrival advice is in its accessibility guide: which corridor to come in by, and which metro station's elevator will not get you in.
- Driving
- The Bell Centre gives addresses rather than a highway route, and points drivers at a map itinerary for the rest. The garage is at 1225 Saint-Antoine Street West, the main public entrance at 1909 avenue des Canadiens-de-Montreal, and the luxury-suite entrance at 1205 Saint-Antoine West; deliveries go to Rue de la Montagne. The garage runs a $20 flat daily rate on non-event weekdays, 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and from noon on event days it is $20 to $49 depending on the event, credit and debit cards only. Clearance is 6 ft 10 in on level A and 6 ft 3 in on level B. Pickup trucks are turned away during hockey games, studded tires are barred at all times, and electric charging terminals are available inside.
- Public Transit
- The Bell Centre names no metro line. Its transit panel lists four stations (Bonaventure, Lucien-L'Allier, Gare Centrale and Gare Lucien-L'Allier) and hands the rest to the STM's own Canadiens event page. Lucien-L'Allier is the one to aim for: the arena's accessibility guide gives a dedicated step-free entrance through the Lucien L'Allier corridor, and warns that although Bonaventure metro station has an elevator, the access from that station into the Bell Centre is closed. Accessible parking is on level B of the garage, in section B113.

Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.

Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them (concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces), so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Parking prices: Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none. The arena's own garage publishes a weekday rate and an event range, C$20 to C$49 depending on the event, and no Canadiens-game figure. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "Bell Centre 2026: the arena's own structure under the building charges C$29 for Canadiens games; the 1225 Saint-Antoine lot is $20 on non-event days").
