Denver International Airport Cheapest Parking in 2026

Denver International Airport cheapest parking on Triply starts at about $6/day at Embassy Suites Denver Airport (plus an $8 round-trip shuttle fee paid at the front desk), or about $9/day at Park2Jet Denver with a 24/7 shuttle. On-airport, the cheapest options are the 61st and Peña Lot at $8/day (no shuttle; you ride the RTD A Line train) and the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day, while the Economy lots cost $20/day and the garages go up to $35/day. Across all options, DEN parking ranges from about $6/day to $45/day, so the cheapest choice depends on how long you're traveling, when your flight leaves and how close you want to be to the terminal.

• Cheapest on-airport option: 61st and Peña Lot at $8/day, but it has no airport shuttle. You take the RTD A Line train ($10.50 to the airport, an 11-minute ride)
• Cheapest off-site lots on Triply: Embassy Suites Denver Airport at about $6/day plus an $8 round-trip shuttle fee, and Hyatt Place Denver Airport at about $6/day (8.8 miles out, shuttle 4 AM to midnight). With a 24/7 shuttle and no fee, Park2Jet Denver is about $9/day

How Much Does It Cost to Park at Denver International Airport in 2026?

DEN airport parking ranges from about $6/day to $45/day, depending on the lot and how close you park to the terminal. According to Denver International Airport's official parking page, on-airport lots include several tiers. Off-site lots on Triply start even lower, from about $6/day (Embassy Suites, plus an $8 shuttle fee).

On-airport rates come from DEN's official parking data, checked in October 2026, and are paid to the airport; Triply does not sell them. Off-site rates are daily rates for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date, and not every lot is offered on every date. DEN's total parking campus holds approximately 42,000 spaces across all lots and garages, per the Denver Department of Aviation.

What Is the Cheapest Parking Option at DEN Airport?

The 61st and Peña Lot is the cheapest parking run by DEN at $8/day, but it has no airport shuttle: you ride the RTD A Line train ($10.50 to the airport, an 11-minute ride). Among off-site lots on Triply, Embassy Suites Denver Airport is the lowest at about $6/day, plus an $8 round-trip shuttle fee paid at the front desk. If you want a 24/7 shuttle with no fee, Park2Jet Denver is about $9/day.

Here's how the cheapest options stack up for a 7-day trip:

• 61st and Peña Lot: $8/day × 7 days = $56, plus the A Line train fare ($10.50 to the airport)
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: about $6/day, about $40 for 7 days plus the $8 shuttle fee
• Park2Jet Denver: about $9/day, about $66 for 7 days
• Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot: $10/day × 7 days = $70
• Canopy Denver Airport Parking: about $11/day, about $78 for 7 days

Compare that to the East or West Garage at $7/hour, capped at $35/day: a 7-day stay costs $245. Park2Jet at about $66 for the week saves roughly $179, about 73% less per day. Against the airport's own Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot ($70 for 7 days), the difference is small. The 61st and Peña Lot at $56 for the week is the lowest on-airport total, but the train fare adds to it.

One thing to know: the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot needs a shuttle ride to the terminal, the 61st and Peña Lot has no shuttle at all (you take the RTD A Line train), and every off-site lot on Triply uses a shuttle too. That's a trade-off most travelers are happy to make for the savings. If you're traveling during DEN's ongoing Great Hall renovation, allow extra time, since security checkpoint routing is still shifting in 2026 as the $2B project nears completion.

On-Airport vs. Off-Airport Parking at DEN: Which Saves You More?

Off-airport parking beats DEN's Economy lots ($20/day) and garages (up to $35/day) on almost any trip longer than a day, but the airport's own Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day is about as cheap as most off-site lots. Embassy Suites and Hyatt Place Denver Airport (about $6/day) come in roughly 40% below Pikes Peak, Park2Jet (about $9/day) is about 6% below, and Canopy (about $11/day) is about 11% above. The cheapest on-airport option is the 61st and Peña Lot at $8/day, with no shuttle.

On-Airport Parking: Pros and Cons

• Pro: No need to search for a private lot, since DEN manages all spaces
• Pro: Economy Lots offer a free shuttle every 10 minutes to the Hotel Transit Center
• Pro: The Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day is as cheap as most off-site lots, with a free shuttle every 7-15 minutes
• Pro: 61st and Peña Lot is the cheapest on-airport option at $8/day
• Con: The East and West Garages run up to $35/day, and Economy lots are $20/day
• Con: 61st and Peña has no shuttle (you ride the RTD A Line), and the Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed
• Con: Less flexibility, since you park where the airport tells you

Off-Airport Parking: Pros and Cons

• Pro: Park2Jet at about $9/day is about 53% less per day than the $20 Economy lots and about 73% less than the $35 garages
• Pro: Embassy Suites and Hyatt Place Denver Airport run about $6/day (Embassy adds an $8 round-trip shuttle fee)
• Pro: Park2Jet and Canopy run 24/7 shuttles, and Canopy's is complimentary with luggage assistance
• Pro: Free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in
• Con: The shuttle adds time each way. Frequency ranges from every 10-15 minutes (Park2Jet) to every 30 minutes at most hotel lots, with hourly service from noon to 5 PM at Hyatt Place Peña Station and Hyatt House, and several lots stop overnight
• Con: Not every lot beats DEN's Pikes Peak lot: Canopy at about $11/day costs more than Pikes Peak at $10/day
• Con: Park2Jet requires a phone call for airport pickup between midnight and 4 AM, so plan ahead

For short trips of one day or less, the on-airport East or West Garage makes sense for convenience: at $7/hour, 3 hours is $21 and the $35 daily maximum kicks in at 5 hours. For anything longer, off-site or the budget on-airport lots are almost always cheaper. Check out our guide to Denver airport parking deals and discount codes for more ways to save.

Which DEN Parking Lot Is Best for Long-Term Trips?

For trips of 5 days or more, Park2Jet Denver and the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot offer the best balance of price and convenience, and Embassy Suites is lowest if you can work with its shuttle rules. Here's a cost breakdown by trip length (daily rate × days, with garages at the $35/day maximum):

A 7-day trip at Park2Jet Denver costs about $66 versus $245 at the East Garage, a saving of about $179, or roughly 73%. Against Pikes Peak ($70) the gap is small, and Canopy at about $78 costs a little more. Real 7-night checkouts bill 8 days: Park2Jet comes to $75.44 and Canopy to $89.13, both more than a week at Pikes Peak, while Embassy Suites is $45.54 plus the $8 shuttle fee.

If you want covered parking for a longer trip, note that Canopy Denver Airport Parking and Park2Jet Denver both have covered spaces at the facility. Triply's listings don't say which space type the rates above buy, so confirm before you count on covered parking. The other lots Triply sells near DEN don't list covered parking in their amenities.

How Do Free Shuttle Services Work at Denver Airport Parking Lots?

Most parking options at DEN include a shuttle to the Jeppesen Terminal, but not every shuttle is free and not every lot has one. The 61st and Peña Lot has no shuttle (you take the RTD A Line), and Embassy Suites charges an $8 round-trip shuttle fee at the front desk. Shuttle frequency and pickup method vary by lot, so knowing the difference saves time on travel day.

On-Airport Shuttles

The East and West Economy Lots run a free shuttle every 10 minutes from shelters in the lots to the Hotel Transit Center (south end of the terminal, ground level), returning every 7-10 minutes (East) or 7-20 minutes (West). The Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot has a free shuttle every 7-15 minutes, with pickup on Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only). The Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed. The 61st and Peña Lot has no airport shuttle: you ride the RTD A Line train ($10.50 to the airport, an 11-minute ride). These shuttles are managed by the Denver Department of Aviation.

Construction-related ground transportation changes are still possible in 2026 as DEN completes its Great Hall program. The East Security Checkpoint opened in August 2025 with 17 new screening lanes, easing congestion significantly. Still, check flydenver.com's ground transportation page before you travel for the latest shuttle pickup locations.

How to Reserve the Cheapest Denver Airport Parking in Advance

Pre-booking is the simplest way to lock in your lot and your rate. Not every lot is offered on every date, so booking early also gives you more to choose from. Triply bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so there's little risk in reserving early.

1. Search and compare: Use Triply's DEN parking search to see the off-site lots Triply sells, side by side
2. Pick your lot: Match your trip length and flight time to the shuttle hours. Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run 24/7 shuttles (Embassy needs a call ahead and charges $8), while the other lots stop overnight
3. Book early for busy periods: ski season (December to March), Thanksgiving and spring break are busy at DEN, and not every lot is offered on every date
4. Check cancellation terms: Triply bookings have free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so you can cancel if your plans change
5. Use the ParkDEN app: For on-airport lots, DEN's ParkDEN app supports mobile payment via Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover

If you have TSA PreCheck, factor that into your arrival time planning too. TSA PreCheck members move through security faster, which means you can leave your parking lot slightly later and still make your flight comfortably.

Are Off-Site DEN Parking Lots Safe and Secure?

Security setups differ by lot, and Triply's listings don't promise the same arrangement everywhere, so check each lot's page before you book. Here's what the listings say.

• Park2Jet Denver: security and a 24/7 front desk are listed; scan the QR code on your receipt at the gate
• Canopy Denver Airport Parking: security and a 24/7 front desk are listed; the gate reads your license plate (enter it correctly when booking), and LED signs point to the shuttle area
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: gated lot where you take a ticket to enter and park in the back (West or South) lot; parking is at your own risk, as the hotel accepts no liability for damage or theft
• DoubleTree Denver Airport: get a validation code at the front desk before parking and register your car with the QR code at the desk, or it may be towed
• Spark by Hilton, Holiday Inn Express, Hyatt Place Denver Airport, Aloft, Residence Inn, Hyatt Place Peña Station and Hyatt House: check in at the hotel front desk for a validation code and register your car with the desk's QR code

None of the Triply lot listings promise EV charging at the rates above, so if you drive an EV, check with the lot before you book. On-airport, EV charging is free with parking in the East and West Garages, and the standard garage rates still apply.

DEN is 25 miles northeast of downtown Denver, accessible via Peña Boulevard — the airport's sole access road, which runs 12 miles from I-70. Off-site lots cluster along Tower Road and nearby side streets just off Peña Boulevard. Before you drive, check real-time traffic on Waze — especially during ski season weekends when I-70 and Peña Boulevard both see heavy congestion.
