Flights to Denver (Denver International - DEN)

There are around 25,000 parking spaces at DIA plus an additional 8,900 for overflow. DIA has 10 different parking facilities, all accessed via Pena Boulevard. Eight of these facilities are adjacent to Jeppesen Terminal, with four on the Terminal's east side, and four on the west.

Pena Boulevard splits to provide access to both the east and west side arrivals and departure areas as well as parking facilities for each side. Overhead roadway signs advise motorists which airlines operate from the Terminal's east and west sides, and how to reach the arrivals area, departures area, and parking. Parking information is also available at 540 on your AM radio dial.

Departing passengers may walk to the terminal from one of DIA's parking facilities, or may be dropped off from a private vehicle on Level 6.

Arriving passengers claim their luggage at the Level 5 baggage claim and then proceed to Level 4 by escalator or elevator. There, they may be picked up at the curb by a private vehicle. For security reasons, vehicles may not park or wait at either the Arrivals or Departure levels of the Terminal. DIA has instituted a designated area where cars may wait for 45 minutes prior to picking up an arriving passenger. This waiting area is off Pena Boulevard. Contact must be made with the arriving party by cell phone; then the car may proceed to the arrivals level to meet their party.

Closest to the Terminal at DIA is the East and West Valet Parking, housed in two five-level parking garages on the east and west sides of the Terminal, respectively. Overnight parking is permitted; the first hour is $11, subsequent hours are $2, and the 24-hour rate is $27.

Sharing the same two five-level garages as the Valet Adjacent to the Valet Parking adjacent to the Terminal are the Short Term East and West. Overnight parking is not permitted; the hourly rate is $3.

On the side of each five-level garage that faces away from the Terminal are the areas designated as Garage East and Garage West. Overnight parking is permitted; the first hour rate is $2, and the 24-hour rate is $18.

Adjacent to each of the garages but still farther away from the Terminal building are the East and West Economy Lots. Overnight parking is permitted here; the hourly rate is $1, and the 24-hour rate is $9.

Long Term Parking

The least costly parking option is the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot, reached via the "75th Avenue/Rental Car Return" exit off Pena Boulevard. This lot is far enough away from the terminal to necessitate use of shuttle buses-they operate on 10-minute intervals-to ferry passenger to/from the Terminal. Allow at least 30 minutes transit from the Shuttle Lot to the Terminal. Overflow parking is available at the Mt. Elbert Shuttle Lot and the former National Rental car lot; these are only open when needed. Hourly rate is $1; the 24 hour rate is $5.
