Denver International Airport Off-Site Parking 2026

Complete DEN Airport Parking Guide

Denver International Airport off-site parking is a category of private lots near DEN that run a shuttle to the Jeppesen Terminal, at rates well below the airport's own garages. As of October 2026, the lots Triply sells run from about $6/day at Embassy Suites Denver Airport (plus an $8 round-trip shuttle fee) to about $11/day at Canopy, compared to $35/day at the East and West Garages and $20/day at the Economy Lots. Only three of them run a 24/7 shuttle: Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites.

• Price range: Triply's DEN lots run about $6 to $11/day (Embassy Suites about $6 plus an $8 shuttle fee, Park2Jet about $9, Canopy about $11), against $20/day at the Economy Lots and $35/day at the garages. DEN's own Pikes Peak lot is $10/day, so it is about as cheap as most off-site lots.
• Shuttle service: Park2Jet (every 10-15 minutes), Canopy (every 15 minutes) and Embassy Suites (every 30 minutes, call ahead) run 24/7. The other lots stop overnight, and some run hourly in the afternoon.
• Distance from terminal: the lots are listed 5 to 8.8 miles from the airport.
• Book in advance: booking holds your spot, and not every lot is available on every date. Free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
• One critical note: from the airport, Park2Jet asks you to call 303-558-9790 for pickup between midnight and 4 AM, and Embassy Suites needs a call ahead to reserve a shuttle seat. Plan ahead if your flight lands late.

What Is Off-Site Parking at Denver International Airport and How Does It Work?

Off-site parking at DEN is private parking: lots operated independently from the airport, located within about 9 miles of the terminal. You drive to the lot, park your car, and a shuttle takes you to the Jeppesen Terminal. When you return, you go to your lot's pickup spot at the terminal (a few lots ask you to call) and ride the shuttle back to your car.

Denver International Airport sits 25 miles northeast of downtown Denver, accessible only via Peña Boulevard, a 12-mile road connecting to I-70. The lots Triply sells are listed 5 to 8.8 miles from the terminal: Canopy (5 miles), Park2Jet and Hyatt House (5.5 miles) and the Tower Rd hotels (5.6 to 5.7 miles) are closest, while the three Gateway Park hotels in Aurora are 8.7 to 8.8 miles out. Pick based on shuttle hours as much as distance.

The process is simple:

1. Reserve your spot online (highly recommended, see booking tips below).
2. Drive to the lot on the day of your flight.
3. Check in the way your lot requires: Park2Jet scans the QR code on your reservation receipt, Canopy's gate reads your license plate, Embassy Suites has you take a gate ticket and fill out parking paperwork at the front desk, and most other hotel lots give you a validation code at the front desk and have you register your car by QR code.
4. Board the shuttle to the Jeppesen Terminal.
5. After landing, go to your lot's pickup spot. A few lots ask you to call, such as Park2Jet from midnight to 4 AM and Embassy Suites, which needs a seat reserved ahead.
6. The shuttle returns you to your car.

DEN's ongoing Great Hall renovation ($2B) — currently in its final phase — has caused some shifts in ground transportation pickup locations. The East Security Checkpoint opened August 2025 with 17 new screening lanes, which has eased congestion significantly. Allow a little extra time in 2026 and check flydenver.com for any current routing changes before your trip.

How Much Does Off-Site Parking at Denver Airport Cost? (2026 Rate Comparison)

Off-site lots on Triply run about $6 to $11/day. That compares with the $35/day maximum ($7/hour) at DEN's East and West Garages, $20/day at the Economy Lots and $45/day (plus a $5 service fee) for Premium Reserve. The airport's Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot is $10/day, about the same as most off-site lots, so the savings come from beating Economy and the garages. Triply rates are daily rates for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date; on-airport rates were checked on flydenver.com in October 2026.

Compare DEN off-site parking on Triply, from about $9/day with a 24/7 shuttle at Park2Jet.

Six more lots Triply sells are farther out or have shuttle gaps: Hyatt Place Denver Airport (about $6/day, 16250 E 40th Ave, Aurora, 8.8 mi; shuttle on demand 4 AM to midnight, none midnight to 4 AM); Aloft Denver Airport at Gateway Park (about $7/day, 8.7 mi; every 30 min, 3:45 AM to midnight); Residence Inn Denver Airport at Gateway Park (about $8/day, 8.7 mi; every 30 min, 4 AM to midnight; returns from East door 505); Holiday Inn Express Denver Airport (about $8/day, 5.6 mi; every 30 min, 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM; call to reserve a seat); Hyatt Place Peña Station (about $9/day, 6.6 mi; hourly from noon to 5 PM, none midnight to 4 AM); and Hyatt House Denver Airport (about $9/day, 5.5 mi; hourly from noon to 5 PM, none 1:30 to 3:30 AM). Availability varies by date, and the three Hyatts are separate listings.

Which Off-Site Parking Lots Are Closest to DEN Terminal?

By listed distance, Canopy is the closest lot Triply sells at 5 miles, followed by Park2Jet Denver and Hyatt House Denver Airport at 5.5 miles, and Spark by Hilton, Holiday Inn Express, DoubleTree and Embassy Suites at 5.6 to 5.8 miles. The Gateway Park hotels in Aurora are the farthest, at 8.7 to 8.8 miles. Park2Jet and Canopy are also the two lots with a 24/7 shuttle and no extra shuttle fee.

For comparison, the on-airport Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot costs $10/day and also requires a shuttle (free, every 7-15 minutes, and DEN suggests allowing 30 minutes). The Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed. Park2Jet is about 6% less than Pikes Peak per day and Canopy is about 11% more, so on price alone the airport's budget lot holds up well. Off-site lots earn their place with 24/7 shuttles and lower prices than the Economy Lots and garages.

How Do Shuttles Work at Denver Airport Off-Site Parking Lots?

Every lot Triply sells near DEN runs a shuttle to the Jeppesen Terminal, but hours, frequency and fees differ. Only Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run 24 hours a day; the others stop overnight. Canopy lists its shuttle as complimentary, Embassy Suites charges $8 round trip at the front desk, and most other listings do not say. That difference matters if you're catching an early morning flight.

• Park2Jet Denver: lot to airport 24/7, every 10-15 minutes. From the airport, every 10-15 minutes from 4 AM to midnight; between midnight and 4 AM, call 303-558-9790. Pickup is Level 5, Island 3 (West door 508, East door 509).
• Canopy Airport Parking: complimentary, 24/7, every 15 minutes, with luggage assistance. Pickup is Island 3, outside door 511 (East) or door 508 (West).
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: 24/7 every 30 minutes, with an $8 round-trip fee paid at the front desk. Call 303-574-3000 up to 24 hours ahead to reserve a seat; hotel guests get priority. Drop-off and pickup are at the West terminal only (door 512, Island 3).
• DoubleTree Denver Airport: every 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM. Return pickup is door 512, Island 3, with no call needed.
• Spark by Hilton Denver Airport: every 15 to 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM. Return pickup is door 512, Island 3, with no call needed.
• The other six lots run until midnight or 1:30 AM; Hyatt Place Peña Station and Hyatt House run only hourly from noon to 5 PM.

For the return trip, go to your lot's pickup spot at the terminal. The lots listed above pick up at Island 3, but the door differs by lot (see the list above), and Embassy Suites picks up at the West terminal only. With DEN's ongoing Great Hall construction, ground transportation pickup points have shifted periodically, so follow in-terminal signage and confirm your lot's pickup spot when you land.

Is Off-Site Parking at Denver Airport Safe and Secure?

Security setups differ by lot, and Triply's listings do not describe cameras or patrols for every one. Here is what each of the main lots lists:

• Park2Jet Denver: security and a 24/7 front desk are listed; you scan the QR code on your reservation receipt on arrival.
• Canopy Airport Parking: security and a 24/7 front desk are listed; the gate reads your license plate.
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: gated lot (take a ticket to enter) with a 24/7 front desk; park in the back lot only. Parking is at your own risk, as the hotel accepts no liability.
• DoubleTree Denver Airport and Spark by Hilton Denver Airport: hotel lots with a front desk open 24/7. Get a validation code at the desk and register your car by QR code (DoubleTree warns unregistered cars may be towed).

At the hotel lots, follow each lot's parking instructions and avoid spaces marked Reserved. Park2Jet and Canopy both have covered parking at their facilities, but the Triply listings do not say which space type your rate buys, so contact the lot if protection from Colorado's hail and heavy snow matters for a long trip.

How Do You Reserve Off-Site Parking at DEN — And Should You Book in Advance?

Booking in advance is strongly recommended. It holds your spot, and not every lot is available on every date, so the cheapest lots can be unavailable on the day you search. DoubleTree Denver Airport also has a 3-day minimum, which is easier to plan for early. Triply bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

For Colorado ski season (December through March), Thanksgiving week, and summer holidays, book at least 2–3 weeks in advance. DEN is the primary gateway to the Rocky Mountains and ski resorts, which makes it one of the busiest airports in the country during peak winter travel.

To reserve, search DEN on Triply to see the lots we sell side by side. Bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so there's no downside to booking early.

Steps to book:

1. Enter your travel dates on Triply.
2. Compare rates, shuttle hours and pickup details (DoubleTree has a 3-day minimum).
3. Complete your reservation. At Embassy Suites, the $8 round-trip shuttle fee is paid at the hotel front desk.
4. Save your confirmation. You'll need it at the lot: Park2Jet scans the QR code on your receipt, and the hotel lots ask you to show it at the front desk.
5. If your plans change, cancel for free with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

Off-Site vs. On-Site Parking at Denver Airport: Which Is Cheaper?

Off-site parking beats DEN's Economy Lots and garages on price, though not by much against the airport's Pikes Peak lot. Here is how a 7-day trip stacks up (Triply figures are the daily rate times 7; the real checkout runs a little higher because 7 nights bills 8 days):

On a 7-day trip, Park2Jet (about $66) costs about $74 less than the Economy Lot and about $179 less than the garages. Canopy (about $78) saves about $62 over Economy and $167 over the garages. But the on-airport Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day ($70 a week) costs about the same as Park2Jet and less than Canopy, and the real 7-night checkouts are $75.44 at Park2Jet and $89.13 at Canopy. It also needs a shuttle, just like off-site lots do. Embassy Suites is the cheapest at about $40 for the week, plus the $8 shuttle fee.

For long-term trips specifically, our DEN Long-Term Parking: Economy Lots, Pikes Peak & Weekly Options 2026 guide compares all the best options for week-long and extended stays.

One thing to check before your trip: use the Waze live traffic map to gauge drive time from your starting point to the off-site lot. Peña Boulevard can back up during busy travel periods, and an extra 10 minutes of buffer is worth building in.

What Amenities Do Denver Airport Off-Site Parking Lots Offer?

Off-site lots near DEN can offer more than just a parking space. Here is what the lots Triply sells list.

EV Charging

The listings for the lots Triply sells do not promise EV charging at their rates. Canopy's facility has EV charging stations in its covered and valet areas, but the listing does not say which product the Triply rate buys, so ask the lot before counting on it. On-airport, the East and West Garages have free EV charging with parking (standard garage rates apply).

Covered and Indoor Parking

Park2Jet Denver offers outdoor and covered parking at its facility, and Canopy offers open-air self-park and covered parking. The Triply listings do not say which space type the rates buy (about $9/day at Park2Jet, about $11/day at Canopy), so confirm with the lot before assuming cover. Colorado's spring hail season and winter snowstorms make covered parking genuinely useful, not just a luxury. For a full breakdown of covered options, see our Denver Airport Parking Covered: Best Lots & Rates 2026 guide.

Valet Parking

Canopy Airport Parking offers valet service at its facility. Triply's rate of about $11/day is not stated to include valet, so ask the lot before assuming it. Valet means you pull up, hand over your keys, and the lot handles the rest. It's convenient for travelers with a lot of luggage or tight schedules.

Loyalty Programs and Extras

Extras vary by lot. Canopy lists free Wi-Fi, coffee, bottled water and snacks in its lobby, and is Green Garage Certified, powered by solar, wind and geothermal energy. Park2Jet lists luggage assistance and accessibility features along with a 24/7 front desk. Embassy Suites, DoubleTree and Spark by Hilton list a restaurant on site. These are parking-only bookings, not hotel stays.

Planning Around DEN's 2026 Construction

DEN's ongoing $700M Concourse C expansion and $2B Great Hall renovation have shifted ground transportation pickup points inside the terminal. The airport's Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed. Always check flydenver.com's ground transportation page before your trip for the latest shuttle lane assignments. And if you rely on TSA PreCheck, note that the new East Security Checkpoint (opened August 2025) significantly reduces wait times, so factor that into how early you need to leave the off-site lot.

The airport's own Pikes Peak lot at $10/day costs about the same, so choose on shuttle hours and fit as well as price.
