DEN On-Airport vs Off-Airport Rate Comparison
DEN's on-airport parking is substantially more expensive than the off-airport lots located nearby on Tower Road. The DIA 61st & Peña lot at $8/day is the cheapest on-airport option, but requires RTD A-Line only and has no reservations. The Economy shuttle lots at $10/day have no reservations and can fill during peak travel. DIA's Covered Garage at $35/day ($7/hr) offers walk-to-terminal access but costs 2–4x more than off-airport alternatives. Rates effective May 14, 2025.
Off-airport DEN parking lots charge $9–$15/day and include free 24/7 shuttle service to the terminal. For any trip lasting more than one day, choosing an off-airport lot at these rates saves meaningful money.
DEN Airport Parking Hourly Rates
Most off-airport lots operate on a daily rate only — there is no hourly option at Canopy, Park2Jet, Fine, ParkDIA, or WallyPark. For hourly parking at DEN, the options are:
- DIA Covered Garage — $7/hr, first 30 minutes free. Best for quick pickups and drop-offs.
- DIA Valet — Hourly rate varies; generally starts around $6–$8/hr.
- DIA Cell Phone Waiting Lot — Free for up to 2 hours while waiting for arrivals. See our free parking at DIA guide.
