What is DIA parking? An overview
Denver International Airport (DIA / DEN) operates four on-airport parking tiers and eight competing off-airport lots in Aurora, Green Valley Ranch, and along Peña Boulevard. Together they offer 40,000+ parking spaces across every price point — from $7/day budget shuttle lots to $50/day curbside valet.
DIA processes 82+ million passengers a year, making parking demand among the highest of any U.S. airport. Off-airport lots compete on price, free shuttle service, covered availability, EV charging, and loyalty programs — while DIA on-airport competes on proximity alone.
