The 4 cheapest Denver Airport parking lots
1. Canopy Airport Parking — from $9/day
Canopy Airport Parking is consistently the lowest-priced well-reviewed lot near DIA. Open-air spaces start at approximately $9/day; covered spaces start around $18/day. Canopy also offers EV charging stations — a rare feature at off-airport lots. The free 24-hour shuttle runs continuously and takes 10–15 minutes to reach the terminal. Canopy's 5280 Club rewards program adds further savings for frequent flyers.
2. Park2Jet Denver — from $9.99/day
Park2Jet Denver offers GPS-guided parking from $9.99/day. The shuttle runs every 10 minutes around the clock — one of the most frequent schedules of any off-airport lot near DEN. Park2Jet is a reliable budget choice for travelers who prioritize minimizing shuttle wait time at an affordable price.
3. Fine Airport Parking — from $10/day
Fine Airport Parking operates from approximately $10/day with free 24-hour shuttle service. It's a straightforward, no-frills budget lot for travelers who want reliable, inexpensive parking without extras.
4. ParkDIA — from $11/day
ParkDIA offers uncovered parking from $11/day across 7,500 spaces — the largest off-airport lot near DEN. Its scale means it almost never sells out, making it the best budget option for last-minute bookings and peak holiday travel. Covered spaces run $22/day.
Why off-airport lots are 30–60% cheaper
On-airport DIA parking (the covered garage at $35/day, or valet at $45+/day) carries a premium because it is run by the airport and includes the cost of the structure and proximity. Off-airport lots on Tower Road and E 40th Ave — just 1–5 miles from the DIA terminal — operate on lower-cost land with more efficient layouts. They pass those savings to travelers in the form of rates that are consistently 30–60% less than on-airport prices.
The trade-off is a shuttle ride of 10–20 minutes each way. For most travelers, that is a very worthwhile exchange for $10–$20/day in savings.
5 tips to get the cheapest DEN parking
- Pre-book online. Reserving in advance saves 15–30% over walk-up rates at off-airport lots. Rates climb as your travel date approaches.
- Choose open-air over covered unless you're traveling in hail season (May–August) or winter. Open-air is $9–$11/day vs $18–$22/day for covered.
- Skip the DIA Economy Lot. The Economy Shuttle Lots at $10/day and the 61st & Peña lot at $8/day (A-Line only, no car shuttle) both lack advance reservations and often cost more or similar to the best off-airport lots.
- Look for promo codes. Canopy, ParkDIA, and Park2Jet periodically offer discount codes for first-time bookers — see the DEN parking coupons page for current offers.
- Compare rates for your exact dates. Off-airport lot pricing is dynamic. The cheapest lot changes by day, especially around peak travel periods.
