Denver Long-Term Parking Rates 2026: Every Option Compared

Back to Denver Airport Parking Rates & Cost Guide 2026 | Complete DEN Airport Parking Guide

Denver long-term parking rates at Denver International Airport range from $8/day at the 61st & Peña lot (no shuttle, train only) and $10/day at the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot to $35/day maximum in the East and West Garages. Off-site lots on Triply run about $6 to $11/day (the $6 Embassy Suites rate adds an $8 shuttle fee). For trips of five days or longer, choosing the right lot can save you over $100 compared with parking in a garage.

• Cheapest on-airport rate: the 61st & Peña lot 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).
• Best value on-airport shuttle lot: Pikes Peak at $10/day with a free shuttle every 7 to 15 minutes. The Longs Peak lot is currently closed.
• Off-site lots on Triply cost about $6 to $11/day. Park2Jet Denver, about $9/day, has a 24/7 shuttle, and it costs about 73% less per day than the $35 garages. Canopy is about $11/day, a little more than Pikes Peak.
• Shuttle hours differ by lot. Among the lots Triply sells, only Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run around the clock, and Embassy charges an $8 shuttle fee.
• Pre-booking is strongly recommended for summer, ski season, and holiday travel periods.
• DEN has roughly 42,000 parking spaces across all lots, but popular options fill fast on peak weekends.

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

Long-term parking at DEN costs about $8 to $35 per day on-airport (Premium Reserve is $45), and about $6 to $11 per day at the off-site lots Triply sells. On-airport rates were checked on flydenver.com in October 2026. Off-site rates are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date. The right choice depends on your trip length, your budget, and how quickly you need to reach the terminal. Here's how the numbers stack up.

On a 10-day trip, Park2Jet at about $9/day costs about $94, against $350 in the East Garage at the $35 daily maximum: a difference of about $256. Switching from the Economy Lot ($20/day, $200 over 10 days) to Park2Jet saves about $106. The airport's own Pikes Peak lot at $10/day ($100 over 10 days) costs about the same as Park2Jet, so the big savings come from skipping the garages and Economy lots.

What Are All the On-Site Long-Term Parking Options at DEN?

Denver International Airport has several on-site parking areas, ranging from garage parking to remote shuttle lots. Each serves a different traveler need. Here's what you need to know about each one.

East and West Garages: $35/day max

The East Garage and West Garage sit directly adjacent to the Jeppesen Terminal. You can walk to check-in without any shuttle. They charge $7/hour up to a $35 daily maximum, so you hit the cap after 5 hours. They make sense for quick, short stays, but for trips longer than two days, cheaper alternatives save real money.

East and West Economy Lots: $20/day

The East Economy Lot and West Economy Lot cost a flat $20/day. Free shuttles run every 10 minutes from shelters in the lots to the Hotel Transit Center at the south end of the terminal (ground level), and return every 7-10 minutes (East) or 7-20 minutes (West). This is a middle-ground option: cheaper than the garages, though the airport's Pikes Peak lot costs half as much per day.

Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot: $10/day

At $10/day, the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot is the best-value on-airport option for long trips. A free shuttle runs every 7 to 15 minutes, with pickup on Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only). Allow about 30 minutes. The Longs Peak lot ($10/day when open) is currently closed. For a full breakdown, see our guide to Denver Airport Parking Pikes Peak Lot.

61st & Peña Lot: $8/day

The 61st & Peña lot is the lowest-priced on-airport parking at DEN at $8/day, but it has no airport shuttle. You take the RTD A Line train to the terminal ($10.50 to the airport, an 11-minute ride). The lot has about 800 spaces, 609 of them under solar canopies, and 11 free EV chargers. Factor the train fare into your total when comparing it with the shuttle lots.

Premium Reserved — $45/day

Premium Reserve parking costs $45/day plus a $5 service fee per reservation and is located on Arrivals Level 4 (East and West sides). It is reservation only: you pre-book a guaranteed spot, walk directly to the terminal, and skip any shuttle. This works well for early morning flights when you want zero hassle.

Per the Denver Department of Aviation's official parking page, all rates are subject to change — always confirm before you travel.

How Do Off-Site Denver Airport Parking Rates Compare to On-Site Lots?

Off-site lots on Triply cost about $6 to $11/day (the lowest rate, Embassy Suites, adds an $8 shuttle fee), which undercuts the Economy Lots ($20/day) and the garages ($35/day max). They don't all beat the airport's own Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot at $10/day: Park2Jet is about 6% less and Canopy about 11% more. Shuttle hours differ by lot, and only Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run around the clock.

Here are the lots Triply sells near DEN, best fits first:

• Park2Jet Denver: about $9/day | 18121 E 81st Ave, listed 5.5 mi | shuttle to the airport 24/7 every 10-15 min; from the airport every 10-15 min 4 AM to midnight, call 303-558-9790 from midnight to 4 AM | pickup Level 5, Island 3

These lots are for parking only, and availability varies by date: a lot offered for one travel week may not be offered for the next, so check your exact dates in the DEN parking search.

Which Is the Cheapest Long-Term Parking Option Near Denver Airport?

The lowest daily rate near DEN is at the Triply off-site lots: Embassy Suites Denver Airport at about $6/day plus an $8 shuttle fee, and Hyatt Place Denver Airport at about $6/day (8.8 miles out, no shuttle from midnight to 4 AM). For a 24/7 shuttle with no fee, Park2Jet is about $9/day. On-airport, the 61st & Peña lot is $8/day but has no shuttle, and Pikes Peak is $10/day. Over a week the gaps between these options are small, and all of them beat the garages by a wide margin.

Here's a quick cost comparison for common trip lengths:

• 3-day trip: 61st & Peña = $24 | Park2Jet = about $28 | Pikes Peak = $30 | Economy Lots = $60 | East/West Garage = $105
• 7-day trip: 61st & Peña = $56 | Pikes Peak = $70 | Park2Jet = about $66 | Canopy = about $78 | Economy Lots = $140 | East/West Garage = $245
• 14-day trip: 61st & Peña = $112 | Park2Jet = about $132 | Pikes Peak = $140 | Canopy = about $156 | Economy Lots = $280 | East/West Garage = $490

On a 14-day trip, Park2Jet at about $132 saves roughly $358 compared with the East or West Garage ($490), and about $148 compared with the Economy Lots ($280). Pikes Peak ($140) costs about the same as Park2Jet. Triply totals above are the daily rate times the number of days; a 7-night booking bills 8 days, so the real checkout is higher (Park2Jet $75.44, Canopy $89.13).

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

Pre-booking long-term parking at DEN holds your spot. Here's exactly how to reserve each type.

On-Site Lots (via flydenver.com)

1. Premium Reserve is the only DEN lot you can reserve in advance. Go to the official DEN parking page and choose Premium Reserve East or West.
2. Enter your travel dates and pay $45/day plus a $5 service fee per reservation.
3. Save your confirmation. You can cancel up to 15 minutes before arrival.
4. The Economy, Pikes Peak, 61st & Peña lots and the garages take no reservations. You pay at the lot with a card or tap-to-pay (cash only at the Level 5 kiosks).

Off-Site Lots (via Triply or lot websites)

1. Visit Triply's DEN parking search to compare the off-site lots Triply sells side by side.
2. Select your dates and preferred lot, and check its shuttle hours and any phone call it requires (Embassy Suites, for example, asks you to call ahead).
3. Book online. Bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.
4. Receive your confirmation by email. Bring it (digital or printed) when you arrive.

Booking ahead is especially important during ski season (December to March), summer peak travel (June to August), and around major holidays. DEN serves as the gateway to Colorado's ski resorts, and lots near the airport fill up fast on holiday Fridays. The airport has roughly 42,000 total parking spaces, and availability at the off-site lots varies by date.

How Often Do Shuttles Run from Long-Term Parking to the DEN Terminal?

Shuttle frequency and hours vary by lot, and not every lot's shuttle is free or 24/7. Among the lots Triply sells, only Park2Jet, Canopy and Embassy Suites run around the clock, and Embassy charges an $8 fee. Here's the breakdown (on-airport details from DEN, October 2026):

• 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).
• Pikes Peak (on-airport): Free shuttle every 7-15 minutes, pickup Level 5, Door 513, Island 3 (East side only). Longs Peak is currently closed. 61st & Peña has no shuttle: take the RTD A Line train.
• Park2Jet Denver: To the airport 24/7 every 10-15 minutes. From the airport every 10-15 minutes from 4 AM to midnight; call 303-558-9790 between midnight and 4 AM. Pickup on Level 5, Island 3 (West door 508, East door 509).
• Canopy Denver Airport Parking: Complimentary shuttle 24/7 every 15 minutes with luggage assistance. Airport pickup at Island 3, outside door 511 (East) or door 508 (West).
• 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, the shuttle serves the West terminal only (door 512, island 3), and there is an $8 round-trip fee paid at the front desk.
• DoubleTree Denver Airport and Spark by Hilton Denver Airport: 3:30 AM to 1:30 AM (DoubleTree every 30 minutes, Spark every 15 to 30 minutes), none from 1:30 to 3:30 AM. Return from door 512, Island 3, no call needed.

• Hyatt Place Peña Station and Hyatt House Denver Airport: every 30 minutes except hourly from noon to 5 PM. Peña Station has no shuttle from midnight to 4 AM, Hyatt House none from 1:30 to 3:30 AM.

Budget extra time for the full shuttle process: walking to the pickup point, waiting, riding, and reaching check-in. Lots with 30-minute or hourly shuttles need a bigger buffer, especially if your flight is early or late.

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

Security varies by lot, and covered options are limited at budget price points. That matters in Denver, where hail and snowstorms are real concerns.

Covered vs. Uncovered Long-Term Parking

• East Garage / West Garage (on-airport): Covered, up to $35/day.
• Premium Reserve (on-airport): $45/day plus a $5 reservation fee, Arrivals Level 4.
• 61st & Peña (on-airport): 609 of its 800 spaces sit under solar canopies, at $8/day.
• Park2Jet Denver (off-site): The facility has outdoor and covered spaces, but the Triply listing doesn't say which one the rate buys, so don't count on cover at about $9/day.
• Canopy Denver Airport Parking (off-site): The facility offers open-air self-park, covered parking and valet, but the Triply listing doesn't say which one the rate buys, so don't count on cover at about $11/day.

Denver sees an average of 60 hail days per year, and spring storms can cause real damage to unprotected vehicles. If you're parking for a week or more during April through August, a covered spot is worth serious consideration. The garages and Premium Reserve are covered on-airport, and 61st & Peña has solar canopies over most of its spaces. Park2Jet and Canopy both have covered parking at the facility, so check the space type on your booking before you rely on it.

Security Features Across Long-Term Lots

Security features vary by lot. Park2Jet and Canopy both list security and a 24/7 front desk, and Canopy's gate reads your license plate. Embassy Suites is a gated lot where you take a ticket on entry, and parking there is at your own risk. At the hotel lots (DoubleTree, Spark, Holiday Inn Express, the Hyatts, Aloft and Residence Inn) you check in at the front desk, get a validation code and register your car; the DoubleTree warns that unregistered cars may be towed.

What Should You Know About Construction Before Parking at DEN in 2026?

DEN has several active construction projects that may affect how you get to and from your parking spot (current as of May 2026). The Economy, Pikes Peak and garage lots are open, but the Longs Peak Shuttle Lot is currently closed, and ground transportation pickup points have shifted.

• The $2B Great Hall renovation is in its final phase. Both East and West Security Checkpoints are now open, easing congestion.
• Rental car shuttles temporarily operate from Level 5 Terminal East only — the West side is closed for construction. Check flydenver.com for current locations before you travel.
• The $700M Concourse C gate expansion is ongoing — allow extra time when flying Southwest, American, or Frontier.
• Ground transportation flow changes may affect walking routes from garages to check-in. Follow signage.

If you have an early flight or a tight connection, give yourself an extra 15 minutes to navigate construction zones. Checking real-time traffic on Waze before you leave helps too, because Peña Boulevard is the only road into DEN and can back up during incidents or heavy travel weekends.

Also worth planning: clearing security at DEN. If you have TSA PreCheck, use the dedicated lanes to move through faster — especially useful when construction is funneling travelers through fewer checkpoints.

Ready to Lock In Your DEN Long-Term Parking Rate?

Denver long-term parking rates span a wide range: from $8/day at the 61st & Peña lot (no shuttle) and $10/day at Pikes Peak to $35/day maximum in the on-site garages, with off-site lots on Triply at about $6 to $11/day (Embassy Suites adds an $8 shuttle fee). The best value depends on your trip length, whether you need covered parking, and how quickly you need to reach the terminal.

Pre-booking holds your space, which matters most during ski season and summer. For travelers planning extended trips, our full breakdown of Denver long-term parking costs by week and month digs into exactly how the numbers work over longer stays.
