There's a few malls/shopping & restaurant lots (Richmond Centre, Lansdowne, the one where the London Drugs is and the ever-popular Shanghai River) but you risk having your car towed. On Firbridge Way (other side of Minoru), there are a few free but time-limited street parking spots but these almost always are full. Pity one can't park at the empty former Pontiac/GMC dealer lot right across Minoru from the hotel. There's also street meter parking on the side roads (e.g., Saba, Buswell) on the opposite side of the No. 3 Rd/Westminster Highway. Not sure what their hours are.
Just rent a domestic car and no one will touch it.
