You also have the option of Cardinal, from the sources/20 side, which is probably easier to get to the parking lots from.
Thanks. Cardinal is a good idea, though it looks like the off ramp from the 20 is closed until the end of October. I had just become used to the fact that the approaches to YUL worked well (a new one for me after 50 years of using the airport), but the REM station construction is making things unpredictable. Such is Montreal!
