So, you’ve planned your dream vacation and made all the proper arrangements. There is only one thing left to do: decide where you are going to park your car when you fly out of the Denver International Airport (DEN).

Without a doubt, there are a lot of parking options at D.I.A., but not all of them are created equally. The lots differ in prices, transportation options to the terminal and total distance from Denver International Airport. Don’t fret, with a little bit of planning and research you can save yourself some money, make sure your trip runs smoothly, and ensure that your car is in good hands.

Of course, you can also catch a lift from a friend, take an Uber/Lyft, or catch the Denver Airport Train, which departs from Denver Union Station. The rates listed below are subject to change. Here are our picks for the best parking lots at D.I.A.:

Denver Airport Parking Lots and Garages

If you are lucky enough, you can grab a spot at the Denver Airport itself. The East or West Garage will cost you $7 an hour or $30 a full day. These are the most expensive spots at D.I.A., but they offer the most convenience and ease of access to the terminal. Your car will remain protected from the elements throughout your trip as well.

When it comes to long-term parking at the Denver International Airport you will have three main options: the Economy Lots, Pikes Peak Lot and Mt. Elbert Lot. The West Economy lot is located to the west of the West Garage, and the East Economy Parking Lot is located to the east of the East Garage. After a fee update, economy lots will charge $6 per hour, $18 per day for 1-3 days, and $16 per day for 4+ days. You can catch one of the frequent busses, with stops all around the lot for easy access.

The Mt. Elbert Lot is located south of Jeppesen Terminal. Pikes Peak Lot is just east of the Mt. Elbert Lot. Long-term parking at either of these will cost you only $8 a day. Alternatively, there are numerous third-party garages and lots available for $7 a day that are just as close to Denver International Airport.

ParkDIA

It is situated 2.6 miles from the airport, and they offer a free shuttle service that comes by every five minutes.

Just over 8 miles from the main terminal, you’ll find another option for affordable parking. Both covered and uncovered spots are available at $17 and $12 a day, respectively. There is a frequent shuttle that goes back and forth to the airport for convenient access.

USAirport Parking goes above and beyond by offering a 9-point inspection service and an oil change so your car is ready to go when you return for a fee. If you are a frequent flier, they offer monthly and yearly membership plans that include unlimited entrances and exits during the specified plan period. A great option for those who are in and out of D.I.A. often.

These are a variety of easy and reasonable lots for parking at the Mile High City’s international airport. Remember to pack light and arrive well in advance, so you can catch your flight on-time. The recommended airport check-in time is 3 hours for an international flight, and 2 hours if your trip is domestic. What’s your preferred method for arriving to D.I.A.? Safe travels!
