Airport Parking in Denver: Rates, Lots & Tips (2026)

Complete DEN Airport Parking Guide | Back to Denver Airport Parking

Airport parking in Denver covers on-airport garages, economy shuttle lots, and eleven off-site lots that Triply sells. Daily rates run from $8/day at the 61st and Peña Lot (no shuttle, train only) to $45/day for Premium Reserve at the Jeppesen Terminal at Denver International Airport (DEN). Off-site lots on Triply run from about $6/day (Embassy Suites, plus an $8 shuttle fee) to about $11/day (Canopy), well under the $20/day Economy lots and the $35/day garages. The airport's own Pikes Peak lot at $10/day is nearly as cheap as most of them, so compare shuttle hours and trip length, not just the rate.

• Cheapest on-airport option: the 61st and Peña Lot at $8/day. It has no shuttle; you ride the RTD A Line train ($10.50, 11 minutes).
• Cheapest off-site lot on Triply: Embassy Suites Denver Airport at about $6/day, plus an $8 round-trip shuttle fee. For a 24/7 shuttle with no fee, Park2Jet Denver is about $9/day.
• East/West Garages cost $7/hour with a $35/day maximum. They are adjacent to the terminal, and only Premium Reserve costs more per day.
• East/West Economy lots cost $20/day flat, with a free shuttle every 10 minutes to the Hotel Transit Center.
• The Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot costs $10/day with a free shuttle every 7 to 15 minutes. The Longs Peak lot is currently closed.
• Park2Jet is about 6% less per day than Pikes Peak, and Canopy (about $11/day) is about 11% more. Both are well under Economy and the garages.
• Booking an off-site lot ahead holds your space, which matters during ski season and holidays, and Triply bookings have free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

How Much Does Airport Parking in Denver Cost? (2026 Rate Guide)

DEN parking rates vary widely depending on lot type and distance from the terminal. On-airport options run from $8/day to $45/day (Premium Reserve adds a $5 service fee per reservation), per flydenver.com in October 2026, and are paid to DEN, not through Triply. Off-site lots that Triply sells run from about $6/day to about $11/day; those rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date.

What Are the Best Off-Airport Parking Options Near DEN?

Off-airport parking near Denver International Airport costs less than the Economy lots and garages, though not always less than the airport's Pikes Peak lot. Triply sells eleven off-site lots, listed 5 to 8.8 miles from the Jeppesen Terminal. Shuttle hours differ: only Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run 24/7, and availability varies by date.

Park2Jet Denver (18121 E 81st Ave) is about $9/day, listed 5.5 miles from DEN, and is a dedicated parking lot. There's no ticket to pull: scan the QR code on your reservation receipt at arrival and follow the on-screen directions. The shuttle to the airport runs 24/7 every 10 to 15 minutes. From the airport it runs every 10 to 15 minutes from 4 AM to midnight; between midnight and 4 AM call 303-558-9790 for pickup. Pickups are on Level 5, Island 3 (West side door 508, East side door 509).

Canopy Denver Airport Parking (8100 Tower Rd, Commerce City) is about $11/day, listed 5 miles from DEN. The complimentary shuttle runs 24/7 every 15 minutes, and drivers help with luggage. The gate reads your license plate, so enter it correctly when you book. The lobby has free Wi-Fi, coffee, water and snacks, and the facility is Green Garage Certified and powered by solar, wind and geothermal energy. The facility offers open-air, covered and valet parking, but the Triply listing does not say which one the rate covers. Airport pickups are on Island 3, outside door 511 (East side) or door 508 (West side). At about $11/day it costs slightly more than the airport's $10/day Pikes Peak lot.

Embassy Suites Denver Airport (7001 Yampa Street) is the cheapest lot Triply sells at DEN, about $6/day, listed 5.8 miles out. The shuttle is not free: an $8 round-trip fee per reservation is paid at the hotel front desk. It runs 24/7 every 30 minutes, but you must call 303-574-3000 up to 24 hours ahead to reserve a seat, and hotel guests get priority. It drops off and picks up at the West terminal only (door 512, island 3). Park in the back (West or South) lot, check in at the front desk, and do not pay at the exit gate. Parking is at your own risk.

DoubleTree Denver Airport (6900 Tower Rd) is about $8/day, listed 5.7 miles from DEN, with a 3-day minimum booking. The shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM, with no shuttle from 1:30 to 3:30 AM. Before you park, go to the front desk for a validation code, then scan the QR code displayed at the desk (not the one in your confirmation email) to register your car, or it may be towed. On return, go to door 512, Island 3. No call is needed.

Spark by Hilton Denver Airport (7020 Tower Rd) is about $8/day, listed 5.6 miles from DEN. The shuttle runs from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM, every 15 to 30 minutes, with no shuttle from 1:30 to 3:30 AM. Get a validation code at the front desk and register your car with the QR code there. On return, go to door 512, Island 3. No call is needed. Spark was not offered for every date we checked, so availability varies.

Triply also sells six more hotel lots, each with shuttle limits to check before booking. Hyatt Place Denver Airport (16250 E 40th Ave, Aurora, 8.8 mi) is about $6/day with a complimentary on-demand shuttle from 4 AM to midnight; call 303-371-0700 for pickup.

How Do DEN Airport Shuttles Work — and How Often Do They Run?

On-airport, the Economy and Pikes Peak lots include a free shuttle to the Jeppesen Terminal, while the 61st and Peña Lot has no shuttle at all. Off-site shuttles vary by lot: hours, frequency and cost all differ, so check your lot's details to plan your arrival window.

On-Airport Shuttle Schedules

• Economy East and West Lots: $20/day. Free shuttle every 10 minutes from the lot shelters to the Hotel Transit Center (south end of the terminal, ground level), returning every 7 to 10 minutes (East) or 7 to 20 minutes (West).
• Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot: $10/day. Free shuttle every 7 to 15 minutes, with pickup at Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only). Allow about 30 minutes. The Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed.
• 61st and Peña Lot: $8/day with no airport shuttle. Ride the RTD A Line train ($10.50, 11 minutes).

Off-Site Shuttle Schedules

• Park2Jet Denver: every 10 to 15 minutes, 24/7 to the airport. From the airport, every 10 to 15 minutes from 4 AM to midnight; call 303-558-9790 from midnight to 4 AM.
• Canopy Denver Airport Parking: complimentary shuttle every 15 minutes, 24/7. Staff assist with luggage.
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: every 30 minutes, 24/7, with an $8 round-trip fee. Call 303-574-3000 up to 24 hours ahead to reserve a seat. West terminal only.
• DoubleTree Denver Airport: every 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM.
• Spark by Hilton Denver Airport: every 15 to 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM.
• The six other hotel lots listed above run limited hours, each with no shuttle for at least two hours overnight.

Off-site shuttles drop you at the Jeppesen Terminal, except Embassy Suites, which drops off at the West terminal only. Build in at least 15–20 extra minutes from lot to gate, on top of your shuttle ride time. During peak ski season (December–February) and summer holidays, add another 10–15 minutes for security lines.

On-Airport vs. Off-Airport Parking at Denver International: Which Is Worth It?

Choosing between on-airport and off-airport parking at DEN comes down to your budget and how much time you have. Here's a clear side-by-side look.

• On-Airport Garages (East/West, $7/hour, $35/day max): Walk directly to the terminal. No shuttle wait. Best for short trips or late-night returns when time is tight. A stay of 5 hours or more costs the $35 maximum.
• On-Airport Economy Lots ($20/day): Free shuttle every 10 minutes. Saves $15/day vs. the garages.
• Pikes Peak ($10/day): The cheapest on-airport shuttle lot, with a free shuttle every 7 to 15 minutes. Good for longer trips. The Longs Peak lot is currently closed.
• Off-Site Lots on Triply (about $6 to $11/day): All cost less per day than Economy and the garages. Park2Jet (about $9/day) is about 6% less than Pikes Peak, 53% less than Economy and 73% less than the garages. Canopy (about $11/day) is about 11% more than Pikes Peak, but 44% less than Economy and 68% less than the garages. Embassy Suites is about 43% less than Pikes Peak, plus an $8 shuttle fee.
• Premium Reserved ($45/day + $5 fee): Guaranteed spot on Arrivals Level 4 with reservation. Worth it only if you value maximum convenience over cost.

Seven days at Park2Jet Denver costs about $66 at about $9/day (the 7-night checkout is $75.44, because it bills 8 days). Seven days in the East Garage costs $245 at the $35 daily maximum, and Economy costs $140. That's about a $179 difference against the garages, enough to cover checked baggage fees or a nice dinner in Denver. The airport's Pikes Peak lot is $70 for 7 days, so it's close to Park2Jet. For extended stays, the DEN long-term parking guide compares all economy and shuttle lot options in detail.

How to Reserve Parking at Denver Airport and Save Money

Booking your off-site DEN parking ahead holds your space, which matters during peak travel periods. Triply bookings include free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

1. Book early for holidays. Thanksgiving week, Christmas, spring break, and ski season weekends fill fast. Book at least 2–3 weeks ahead for late December and early January travel.
2. Compare the off-site lots. Triply's DEN parking search lists the off-site lots it sells that are offered for your dates, with rates and shuttle details, so you can compare in one place.
3. Check cancellation. Triply bookings can be cancelled free with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in. Inside 24 hours, they cannot be cancelled online.
4. Read the check-in steps. Several hotel lots (DoubleTree, Spark and Holiday Inn Express among them) ask you to get a validation code at the front desk and register your car by QR code. Embassy Suites needs a call 24 hours ahead to reserve your shuttle seat.
5. Check availability for your dates. Not every lot is offered on every date, so if your first choice does not appear, try the next one.

On-airport, only Premium Reserve takes reservations, at flydenver.com. DEN's other lots are pay-on-arrival, with card and tap-to-pay at the lots and cash only at the Level 5 kiosks. These are paid to DEN, not through Triply.

Is Parking at Denver Airport Safe? Security Features by Lot

Security differs by lot, so check what each one lists. The on-airport garages are run by the Denver Department of Aviation, and the off-site lots on Triply each list their own setup.

On-Airport Security

The East and West Garages are managed directly by the Denver Department of Aviation. They feature 24/7 staffing, surveillance cameras, and well-lit interiors. Accessible parking is available on the lower levels of both garages. The total campus covers roughly 42,000 parking spaces — all monitored by the airport authority.

Off-Site Lot Security Features

• Park2Jet Denver: lists security and a 24/7 front desk.
• Canopy Denver Airport Parking: lists security and a 24/7 front desk; the gate reads your license plate.
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: gated lot (take a ticket to enter) with a 24/7 front desk. Parking is at your own risk, and the hotel accepts no liability for damage or theft.
• Hotel lots (DoubleTree, Spark, Holiday Inn Express, Hyatt Place Denver Airport, Hyatt Place Peña Station, Hyatt House, Aloft and Residence Inn): check in at the front desk, get a validation code and register your car by QR code. DoubleTree warns that unregistered cars may be towed.

Whichever lot you choose, photograph your car and note where you parked before heading to the terminal. That is especially worth doing at Embassy Suites, where parking is at your own risk.

Does Denver Airport Have EV Charging Parking Spots?

Yes, on-airport. Off-site, the Triply listings do not confirm EV charging at the booked rate. Check the details before relying on it.

On-airport, EV charging is free at Denver International Airport. You pay standard garage parking rates while charging — no extra fee for the electricity. Charging stations are located within the East and West Garages. Check ChargeHub's DEN EV station map for exact stall locations before you arrive.

Off-site, Canopy's facility has EV charging stations in its covered and valet areas, but the Triply listing does not say which parking type the rate covers, so confirm before you count on it. If you drive an EV, the free charging in the on-airport garages is the safer plan.

How to Get From DEN Parking Back to Your Terminal

Getting back to your car after landing at DEN is straightforward. The process differs slightly depending on where you parked.

From On-Airport Lots

• East/West Garages & Premium Reserved: Walk directly from the Jeppesen Terminal. No shuttle needed. The East Garage connects to the east side of the terminal; the West Garage connects to the west side.
• Economy East/West Lots: Take the free shuttle from the Hotel Transit Center (south end of the terminal, ground level). Shuttles return every 7 to 10 minutes (East) or 7 to 20 minutes (West).
• Pikes Peak: Take the free shuttle from Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only), every 7 to 15 minutes. Longs Peak is currently closed.
• 61st and Peña: There is no shuttle. Take the RTD A Line train ($10.50, 11 minutes).

From Off-Site Lots

• After baggage claim, head to the ground transportation exit on Level 5 of the Jeppesen Terminal.
• Park2Jet picks up at Island 3 (West door 508, East door 509). Canopy picks up at Island 3 outside door 511 (East) or door 508 (West).
• DoubleTree, Spark, Holiday Inn Express and Hyatt House pick up at door 512, Island 3. DoubleTree and Spark run on a set schedule, so no call is needed. Embassy Suites also uses door 512 and the West terminal only, and requires you to reserve a seat by phone up to 24 hours ahead.
• Park2Jet: If landing between midnight and 4 AM, call 303-558-9790 for pickup. Hyatt Place Denver Airport asks you to call 303-371-0700 for a pickup.

Construction note (2026): The $2B Great Hall Program is in its final phase at DEN. The East Security Checkpoint (17 new lanes) opened in August 2025. Ground transportation pickup locations may shift periodically during ongoing work. Before your trip, check flydenver.com's Great Hall Program page for current pickup locations. The Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed, so check flydenver.com for the latest lot status.

Also helpful: review TSA security screening guidelines before your trip. Knowing what to expect at the checkpoint — especially with DEN's new 17-lane East Security area — helps you budget your time accurately. If you travel frequently, TSA PreCheck enrollment can cut your security wait significantly, giving you more flexibility in your parking-to-gate timing.
