How Much Does Denver International Airport Parking Cost in 2026?

Denver International Airport offers parking across multiple named lots, with daily rates ranging from $8 to $45 on-airport. Off-site lots Triply sells near DEN run about $6 to $11/day (the $6 Embassy Suites rate adds an $8 round-trip shuttle fee), and their shuttle schedules differ by lot. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive on-airport options is dramatic, up to $37/day on a single trip.

Here's a full breakdown of every on-airport option, per the Denver Department of Aviation official parking page (checked October 2026). These lots are paid to the airport, not booked through Triply:

For a deeper look at how these rates stack up across trip lengths, see our Denver Airport Parking Rates & Cost Guide 2026, which includes per-day and per-week cost calculations for every lot.

What Are the Cheapest Parking Options at DEN Airport?

The cheapest on-airport parking with a shuttle at Denver International Airport is the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day (the Longs Peak lot is currently closed). The 61st & Peña Lot is $8/day but has no shuttle, so you ride the A Line train. Among the off-site lots Triply sells, Embassy Suites Denver Airport is lowest at about $6/day plus an $8 round-trip shuttle fee, and Park2Jet Denver is about $9/day with a shuttle that runs 24/7 every 10-15 minutes.

Here's how the best-fit off-site lots Triply sells compare side by side:

Booking ahead holds your space at the rate you booked, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in. Triply also sells six more lots at about $6 to $9/day: Hyatt Place Denver Airport, Aloft Denver Airport at Gateway Park, Residence Inn Denver Airport at Gateway Park, Holiday Inn Express Denver Airport, Hyatt Place Peña Station - Denver Airport and Hyatt House Denver Airport. Their shuttles have overnight gaps (two also run hourly from noon to 5 PM), the Gateway Park hotels and Hyatt Place Denver Airport are 8.7 to 8.8 miles out, and availability varies by date. Compare DEN off-site parking on Triply and check each lot's shuttle hours.

On-Site vs. Off-Site DEN Airport Parking: Which Is the Better Deal?

Off-site lots Triply sells beat the airport's Economy lots ($20/day) and garages ($35/day maximum), but not always the airport's Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot ($10/day). Off-site rates run about $6 to $11/day. Over a 7-day trip, Park2Jet is about $66 and Canopy about $78, versus $70 at Pikes Peak, $140 at Economy and $245 in the garages.

On-Site Parking: Pros and Cons

• Pro: No shuttle needed. East and West Garages connect directly to the Jeppesen Terminal
• Pro: Great for trips under 2 days where convenience matters most
• Pro: ~42,000 spaces total across all on-airport lots, rarely full
• Con: East and West Garages cost $7/hour with a $35/day maximum, the most expensive standard option
• Con: Economy Lots cost $20/day and require a shuttle (every 10 min, free)
• Con: No valet or covered garage options at budget price points

Off-Site Parking: Pros and Cons

• Pro: Park2Jet is about $9/day, roughly 73% less per day than the $35/day garages and about 53% less than the $20/day Economy lots
• Pro: Park2Jet and Canopy run 24/7 shuttles, and Canopy's is complimentary with luggage help
• Pro: Free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in
• Con: You'll need a shuttle, and schedules vary by lot; most hotel lots have overnight gaps
• Con: Park2Jet's pickup from midnight to 4 AM requires a phone call, and Embassy Suites needs a call up to 24 hours ahead to reserve a seat
• Con: The airport's Pikes Peak lot ($10/day) is about as cheap as most off-site lots, and Canopy (about $11/day) costs a little more

For trips of 3 days or more, off-site lots beat the Economy lots and garages on price, so compare them against Pikes Peak too. See the DEN lots Triply sells for weekly totals.

How to Reserve Denver Airport Parking and Save Up to 50%

Reserving in advance is the most reliable way to lock in a rate for DEN airport parking. Booking ahead holds your space at the rate you booked, even during peak travel periods like ski season and summer holidays.

1. Compare rates early. Use Triply's DEN parking search to see the lots Triply sells in one place; availability varies by date.
2. Pick your lot type. Want a 24/7 shuttle at the lowest price? Park2Jet is about $9/day. Want a complimentary 24/7 shuttle with luggage help, free Wi-Fi and coffee? Canopy is about $11/day. Want the lowest daily rate? Embassy Suites is about $6/day plus an $8 round-trip shuttle fee.
3. Check cancellation policies. Triply bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so you can book early and cancel if your plans change.
4. Confirm shuttle hours. Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run 24/7 (Embassy needs a call ahead and serves the West terminal only). DoubleTree and Spark stop at 1:30 AM. If you land after midnight at Park2Jet, call 303-558-9790 for pickup.
5. Know how on-airport lots work. Triply doesn't sell airport lots. Only Premium Reserve takes reservations at flydenver.com; the Economy lots, Pikes Peak and the garages don't.

Book as early as you can for Thanksgiving, spring break, New Year's and ski season. Denver is a major ski gateway, so January through March is busy at both on-site and off-site lots, and availability varies by date.

Are There Free Shuttles from DEN Off-Site Parking Lots?

Some, but not all. Canopy's shuttle is complimentary and runs 24/7 every 15 minutes with luggage help, and Park2Jet's runs 24/7 every 10-15 minutes. Embassy Suites charges an $8 round-trip shuttle fee at the front desk and needs a call up to 24 hours ahead. Hotel lots such as DoubleTree and Spark run until 1:30 AM with no shuttle from 1:30 to 3:30 AM.

On-airport, the Economy Lots run a free shuttle every 10 minutes to the Hotel Transit Center at the south end of the terminal, returning every 7-10 minutes (East) or 7-20 minutes (West). The Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot has a free shuttle every 7-15 minutes, picking up at Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only). The East and West Garages connect directly to the terminal, so no shuttle is needed. For a full breakdown of shuttle routes and how to navigate between lots and concourses, see our DEN long-term parking guide covering Economy Lots, Pikes Peak, and shuttle logistics.

Is There a Park-and-Ride or Train Alternative to DEN Airport Parking?

The RTD University of Colorado A Line is Denver's commuter rail connecting Denver Union Station directly to DEN in 37 minutes for $10.50 one-way. No competitors mention this option — and for the right traveler, it's one of the best deals at the airport.

The A Line is a strong choice if you're traveling light, leaving from downtown Denver, LoDo, RiNo, or the Central Park neighborhood, and your trip is short enough that the transit time makes sense. Trains run frequently, and the station is inside the Jeppesen Terminal. Check the RTD A Line schedule and fares before your trip.

Here's a quick cost comparison to help you decide:

For a solo traveler on a 1-day trip, the A Line round trip ($21) is cheaper than a day in the garages ($35 maximum). For two travelers it comes to $42, so parking can win. For a 5-day ski trip with checked bags, Park2Jet at about $9/day (about $47 total) is cheaper than rideshare and more convenient than transit.

Denver Airport Parking Tips: How to Avoid Hidden Fees and Peak Surcharges

Most DEN parking deals come with no surprises — but a few things catch travelers off guard. Knowing these in advance can save you money and stress.

• Book early for ski season. January through March is peak travel at DEN, and availability and rates change by date. Book at least 2 weeks ahead during ski season.
• Check for add-on fees. Embassy Suites charges an $8 round-trip shuttle fee at the front desk on top of the Triply rate, and the airport's Premium Reserve adds a $5 service fee per reservation. Compare the total, not just the daily rate.
• Confirm your shuttle schedule. Park2Jet's pickup from the airport runs 4 AM to midnight; between midnight and 4 AM, call 303-558-9790. DoubleTree and Spark have no shuttle from 1:30 to 3:30 AM.
• Use TSA PreCheck to save time. DEN's new East Security Checkpoint (opened August 2025) has 17 new screening lanes. Still, TSA PreCheck gets you through faster, especially with Denver's growing international traffic.
• Allow extra transit time in 2026. The ongoing $2B Great Hall renovation and $700M Concourse C expansion may cause temporary changes to checkpoint routing and ground transportation pickup zones. Check flydenver.com's Great Hall Program page before you travel.
• EV drivers: plan ahead. On-airport, EV charging is free with parking in the garages (standard parking rates apply). None of the off-site lots Triply sells promises EV charging at its listed rate.
• Think about winter. Denver winters bring heavy snow. Park2Jet and Canopy both have covered parking at their facilities, but the Triply listing doesn't say which space type the rate covers, so confirm before counting on it. The airport's East and West Garages cost $7/hour with a $35/day maximum.
• Use free cancellation. Triply bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so there's no financial risk in booking early.
