Cars are not allowed on Toronto Island, which means you have to park your car on the mainland in Toronto. Read more about the ferry to Toronto and parking close to the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal below. The entrance of the terminal is located on the westside of the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel.

You cannot take your car to the Toronto Islands, as they are a car-free zone (except for authorized service vehicles). Instead, you must park your car on the mainland near the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal (at the foot of Bay Street and Queens Quay). In 2026, the most convenient—albeit expensive—parking is at the underground garage at 10 Bay Street or the Waterpark Place Garage at 88 Queens Quay West, which typically range from $25 to $45 CAD per day. For a slightly more budget-friendly option, look for the Green P surface lots slightly further east or north, such as Carpark 43 at 2 Church Street. It is a peer-to-peer "best practice" to take the TTC (Subway/Streetcar) to Union Station and walk to the ferry, as downtown parking is often at a premium and construction in the Harbourfront area can make driving to the terminal a major headache during peak summer weekends.
