this is what I did since my friend live close by; park at the closest residential house, take a taxi.
parking on the street is "illegal" if it's long term, but for 9 days, you should be fine.
15 dollars cab ride each way, versus 34 dollars daily (+10% off if u book early)

For 9days, I'd really look into some ride options rather than parking.
Call around for quotes. Not sure where you'd be riding from, but my usual guy charges $60ow. So really anything over 5days at YVR makes it worthwhile and I don't have to take any shuttle or stuff. Off and on at airport.

I’ve googled discount codes for Park and Fly successfully in the past.

Early flight? Might want to look into Holiday Inn Express.
Stayed there when we went to Mexico in November night before, I live on Surrey/Langley border so it saved us up from getting up super early and once you figured in the price of parking the cost of the hotel was pretty much a wash. They shuttle you to and from Airport.
Edit:
Never mind Sorry I see you have an evening flight probably not worth it but I'll leave the info here if anyone else is looking.
Any friends or family in Richmond? Park there take a cab or get a ride?

^I’ve stayed at Westin Wall Centre before sometimes they have promos where you stay 1 night and can park up to a week for free then additional days are $10.
Recently booked for Feb but they only included 3 days. I’m gone a week so will pay the extra $40. Worth it for early flights and they also have shuttle service.

If you have a BCAA card, you can either get a discount with the parking lot there or register for EVO (for free plus some free minutes if you have a BCAA card) and drop off the car at the airport at the parking lot.

Paid $70 today and my car was there for just over a day, maybe 30 hours. I guess per hour that’s not too bad but still

There is a long-term parking lot by the Outlet Mall. I'm not sure of the rates, but I think it's $20 per day. I use this now for all my long-term flights; you need to take the train to YVR, but it is free to Long Term Parking and only the last two train stops. I used to use Park-n-Fly, but their best rates are for 5+ days and some of my trips are under 5 days - so you may want to look online for their rate.
Also, there are a few hotels in Richmond that offer you 1 week of parking for free if you spend the night, and the second week is cheap. However, their shuttle service doesn't always start until later, you need to ask. I have used both Holiday Inn's close to the airport; the one by the hockey rink is newer and nicer.

So, no car shares in your area, and you don't want to leave your car on the street... Just take a cab, man. It's cheaper than leaving it in a lot, and a lot less of a hassle than taking transit. Better yet, you could take a cab to an evo or car2go and save some coin that way.
