How Much Does Denver Long-Term Parking Cost in 2026?

Denver International Airport offers several parking areas managed by the Denver Department of Aviation, each with its own daily rate. Rates below were checked against the official flydenver.com parking data in October 2026. DEN adds no taxes or fees to its published rates.

The 61st & Peña Lot is the lowest daily rate at the airport. At $8/day, a 30-day trip costs $240, about 77% less than the East or West Garage at the $35/day maximum. The trade-off is that it has no airport shuttle: you take the RTD A Line train ($10.50 to the airport, an 11-minute ride). The Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day gives you a free shuttle instead.

What Are All the Long-Term Parking Lots at Denver International Airport?

DEN has ~42,000 total parking spaces spread across multiple lots and garages, per the Denver Department of Aviation. Each lot serves a different need and budget.

On-Airport Long-Term Options

• 61st & Peña Lot: $8/day. The lowest daily rate, but there is no airport shuttle. Ride the RTD A Line train ($10.50 to the airport, 11-minute ride). It has 800 spaces, 609 of them under solar canopies, and 11 free EV chargers.
• Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot: $10/day. Free shuttle every 7 to 15 minutes, with pickup on Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only). Allow 30 minutes.
• Longs Peak Shuttle Lot: currently closed ($10/day when it is open).
• East Economy Lot: $20/day flat. A free shuttle runs every 10 minutes from the lot shelters to the Hotel Transit Center (south end of the terminal, ground level) and returns every 7 to 10 minutes.
• West Economy Lot: $20/day flat. Same shuttle to the Hotel Transit Center, returning every 7 to 20 minutes.
• East Garage / West Garage: $7/hour with a $35 daily maximum. Connected directly to Jeppesen Terminal, so no shuttle is needed, but costly for multi-day stays.
• Premium Reserve: $45/day plus a $5 service fee per reservation, reservation only. Located at Arrivals Level 4 (East and West sides), for travelers who want walk-in access and no shuttle wait.

EV charging is free with parking at the airport. The East and West Garages have charging stations (West Level 1 has 25, East Level 1 has 11), billed at the standard garage rate, and the 61st & Peña Lot has 11 free EV chargers.

Accessible parking is available in all garages and lots. Designated ADA spaces are on the lower levels of the East and West Garages for shortest walking distance to the terminal. All shuttle lots are ADA-accessible with lift-equipped vehicles.

On-Site vs. Off-Site Long-Term Parking at DIA: Which Is Cheaper?

Off-site lots on Triply beat the airport's Economy ($20/day) and garage ($35/day max) rates, but not every one beats the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day. The savings against Economy and the garages add up on stays longer than 3 days.

The Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot is as cheap as most off-site options at $10/day. Park2Jet at about $9/day is only about 6% less, and Canopy at about $11/day costs about 11% more. Embassy Suites at about $6/day is about 40% less than Pikes Peak, but it adds an $8 round-trip shuttle fee and a call-ahead shuttle. Against the airport's Economy and garage rates the off-site lots win clearly: Park2Jet is about 53% less than Economy and 73% less than the garages. Note that the Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed.

Triply also sells six more off-site lots, each with a shuttle caveat. Hyatt Place Denver Airport (about $6/day, in Aurora, 8.8 miles out) has a complimentary on-demand shuttle from 4 AM to midnight; call 303-371-0700 for your return. Aloft Denver Airport at Gateway Park (about $7/day) and Residence Inn Denver Airport at Gateway Park (about $8/day) are both 8.7 miles out, with shuttles every 30 minutes until midnight. Holiday Inn Express Denver Airport (about $8/day) runs every 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM, and you reserve a seat by phone. Hyatt Place Peña Station - Denver Airport and Hyatt House Denver Airport (both about $9/day) run hourly from noon to 5 PM. Availability varies, and not every lot is offered on every date.

Key Trade-offs: On-Site vs. Off-Site

• On-airport (Pikes Peak): $10/day, run by the airport, no off-property travel. The Longs Peak lot is currently closed.
• Off-site: 24/7 shuttles at Park2Jet and Canopy, and Canopy adds free Wi-Fi, coffee, water and snacks in its lobby. Off-site lots are clearly cheaper per day than Economy and the garages. Against Pikes Peak the gap is small, Canopy costs more per day, and most 7-night checkouts come out close to or above Pikes Peak's $70 week.
• On-airport garages: walk directly to the terminal. Worth it for 1-2 days, expensive for 7+ days ($245 for a week).
• Off-site shuttles: frequency runs from every 10-15 minutes to every 30 minutes, and some lots have no shuttle overnight, so factor this into your departure time

How Much Does Long-Term Parking at DIA Cost for a Week or a Month?

Here's the full math. On-airport totals use the flat daily rates, and DEN adds no taxes or fees to them (Premium Reserve adds a $5 service fee per reservation). Off-site figures are 7-day estimates from Triply's daily rates.

• 61st & Peña Lot (on-airport, $8/day, train only): 7 days = $56 | 14 days = $112 | 30 days = $240
• Pikes Peak (on-airport, $10/day): 7 days = $70 | 14 days = $140 | 30 days = $300
• East/West Economy Lot (on-airport, $20/day): 7 days = $140 | 14 days = $280 | 30 days = $600
• East/West Garage (on-airport, $35/day max): 7 days = $245 | 14 days = $490 | 30 days = $1,050
• Premium Reserve (on-airport, $45/day): 7 days = $315 | 14 days = $630 | 30 days = $1,350, plus a $5 fee per reservation
• Off-site on Triply, 7 days: Embassy Suites about $40 (plus the $8 shuttle fee), Park2Jet about $66, Canopy about $78. A 7-night booking bills 8 days, so checkout is $75.44 at Park2Jet and $89.13 at Canopy, with no tax added.

A 30-day trip in Premium Reserve costs $1,350 plus the $5 fee, about 5.6 times more than the 61st & Peña Lot at $240. For extended travel, the cheapest on-airport options or off-site lots save hundreds of dollars. Stays over 30 days at DEN need advance arrangements by calling (303) 342-4650, or the car can be towed, so confirm limits before a long trip.

Which DIA Long-Term Parking Lot Has the Best Shuttle Service?

Shuttle frequency matters most for long-term parkers — you're usually returning tired after a long trip and don't want to wait 20+ minutes. Here's how each lot compares.

Fastest Shuttle Options (every 7 to 15 minutes)

• Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot (on-airport): free shuttle every 7 to 15 minutes, pickup on Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only).
• East/West Economy Lots (on-airport): free shuttle every 10 minutes to the Hotel Transit Center, returning every 7-10 minutes (East) or 7-20 minutes (West).
• Park2Jet Denver (off-site): every 10 to 15 minutes. The shuttle to the airport runs 24/7. From the airport it runs 4 AM to midnight; between midnight and 4 AM, call 303-558-9790 for pickup.

Standard Shuttle Options (every 15 to 30 minutes)

• Canopy Denver Airport Parking: complimentary shuttle 24/7, every 15 minutes, with luggage help. Pickups are at Island 3, outside Door 511 (East) or Door 508 (West).
• Spark by Hilton Denver Airport: every 15 to 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM, with no shuttle from 1:30 to 3:30 AM. Return from Door 512, Island 3, no call needed.
• DoubleTree Denver Airport: every 30 minutes from 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM, with no shuttle from 1:30 to 3:30 AM. Return from Door 512, Island 3, no call needed.
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: 24/7 every 30 minutes, but call 303-574-3000 up to 24 hours ahead to reserve a seat (hotel guests get priority). It serves the West terminal only (door 512, island 3), and the round trip costs an $8 fee paid at the front desk.

Limited-Hours and Midday-Gap Shuttles

• Hyatt Place Denver Airport (Aurora, 8.8 miles out): complimentary on-demand shuttle from 4 AM to midnight, none from midnight to 4 AM. Call 303-371-0700 for your return pickup.
• Aloft Denver Airport at Gateway Park: every 30 minutes from 3:45 AM to midnight.
• Residence Inn Denver Airport at Gateway Park: every 30 minutes from 4 AM to midnight. Return pickup is at the East terminal, door 505.

• Hyatt House Denver Airport: every 30 minutes, but hourly from noon to 5 PM, and none from 1:30 to 3:30 AM.

For long-term stays, a dependable shuttle is often worth paying a little more. Park2Jet and Canopy are the off-site lots with 24/7 shuttles and no strings: Canopy runs every 15 minutes around the clock, and Park2Jet runs every 10 to 15 minutes, with a phone call (303-558-9790) needed only for pickups between midnight and 4 AM. If you land late, avoid lots whose shuttle stops at midnight or 1:30 AM.

How Do You Reserve Long-Term Parking at Denver Airport in Advance?

Reserving in advance is the best way to guarantee a spot at an off-site lot, especially during summer travel season, ski weekends, and major holidays. At DEN itself, only Premium Reserve takes reservations.

On-Airport Reservation (flydenver.com)

1. Go to flydenver.com/parking-and-transportation/parking-lots
2. Premium Reserve (Arrivals Level 4) is the only airport option you can reserve ahead: $45/day plus a $5 service fee per reservation, and you can cancel up to 15 minutes before arrival
3. Economy, Pikes Peak and the garages have no reservations: you pay at the lot by card or tap, or with cash at the Level 5 kiosks
4. The Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed
5. For stays over 30 days, arrange it in advance at (303) 342-4650 or the car can be towed

Off-Site Reservation (Triply or lot websites)

1. Search DEN parking on Triply to compare off-site rates in one place
2. Compare price, shuttle hours and shuttle frequency for each lot
3. Select your lot and confirm booking, with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in
4. Arrive at the lot and follow its check-in steps (Park2Jet: scan the QR code on your receipt; hotel lots: get a validation code at the front desk and register your car by QR code), then board the shuttle to Jeppesen Terminal

Booking a few weeks ahead is smart during peak seasons, since availability varies by date and not every Triply lot is offered every week. During Colorado ski season (December–March) and summer (June–August), the airport's own lots can also be busy. The DEN phone number for parking questions is (303) 342-7275.

What Are the Cheapest Off-Site Long-Term Parking Options Near DIA?

Off-site lots Triply sells near Denver International Airport run from about $6/day to about $11/day. Shuttle terms differ: only Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run 24/7, and Embassy charges an $8 round-trip fee. Here's a focused look at the five best fits.

Embassy Suites Denver Airport (about $6/day) is the cheapest lot Triply sells at DEN, but the shuttle costs an extra $8 round trip, paid at the front desk. The lot is at 7001 Yampa Street, listed 5.8 miles out. The shuttle 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, and do not pay at the exit gate. Parking is at your own risk. A week costs about $40 plus the $8 fee.

Park2Jet Denver (about $9/day) is a dedicated parking lot at 18121 E 81st Ave, listed 5.5 miles out. Scan the QR code on your receipt at the gate and follow the on-screen instructions. The shuttle runs every 10 to 15 minutes, 24/7 to the airport; from the airport it runs 4 AM to midnight, and between midnight and 4 AM you call 303-558-9790. Pickups are on Level 5, Island 3 (West door 508, East door 509). The facility has outdoor and covered spaces, but the listing does not say which one the Triply rate buys. A week costs about $66, about 6% less than Pikes Peak and 53% less than Economy.

Canopy Denver Airport Parking (about $11/day) is at 8100 Tower Rd in Commerce City, listed 5 miles out, and costs about 11% more per day than the airport's Pikes Peak lot. The perks: a complimentary shuttle 24/7 every 15 minutes with luggage help, plus free Wi-Fi, coffee, water and snacks in the lobby. The gate reads your license plate, so enter it correctly when you book. Airport pickups are on Island 3, outside Door 511 (East) or Door 508 (West). Canopy is Green Garage Certified and powered by solar, wind and geothermal energy. The facility also offers covered and valet parking, but the listing does not say which product the Triply rate buys. A week costs about $78.

DoubleTree Denver Airport and Spark by Hilton Denver Airport (both about $8/day) are hotel lots on Tower Rd, at 6900 and 7020, listed 5.7 and 5.6 miles out. Shuttles run until 1:30 AM and there is none from 1:30 to 3:30 AM. At both, go to the front desk for a validation code and register your car with the QR code displayed there. DoubleTree has a 3-day minimum, and unregistered cars may be towed. Return pickups are at door 512, Island 3, with no call needed. Spark was not offered for every date we checked, so availability varies.

Is Long-Term Parking at Denver Airport Safe and Secure?

Long-term parking at DEN is generally safe and well-monitored. Here's what each type of facility offers.

On-Airport Security

All on-airport lots are managed by the Denver Department of Aviation. The East and West Garages have security patrols, surveillance cameras, and emergency call stations. Economy and shuttle lots are well-lit and monitored. Accessible parking spaces are located on lower garage levels for safer, easier access.

Off-Site Security Standards

• Park2Jet Denver: security listed, 24/7 front desk, wheelchair access
• Canopy Denver Airport Parking: security listed, 24/7 front desk, plate-reading gate, wheelchair access
• Embassy Suites Denver Airport: gated lot (take a ticket to enter), 24/7 front desk. Parking is at your own risk, as the hotel accepts no liability for damage or theft
• DoubleTree and Spark: hotel lots. Present your reservation at the front desk and register your vehicle by QR code (unregistered cars at DoubleTree may be towed)

For long trips, covered parking adds an extra layer of protection, both from theft risk and from Colorado's weather. Hailstorms and snowstorms are common at DEN, especially in spring. The Park2Jet and Canopy facilities both have covered spaces, but the Triply listings do not say which space type the rate buys, so don't count on cover at these prices.

2026 Construction Note

The $2B Great Hall renovation is in its final phase. The East Security Checkpoint (17 new screening lanes) opened in August 2025. The Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed, and ground transportation pickup locations may shift temporarily. Check flydenver.com's Great Hall Program page before your trip for the latest layout changes. Allow extra buffer time if you're using the Economy Lots or shuttle lots during busy travel periods.
