DEN Airport Parking Options

Denver International Airport

Located in Colorado’s famous Mile High City, Denver International Airport is one of the best and most well-known airports in the US. The official airport code is DEN, but locally many refer to it as DIA.

DIA ranks first in the US and second in the world as the biggest airport in terms of land area. It also comes in third as the busiest airport in the world. In fact, it generates more than $33 billion annually for the state of Colorado.

As the largest airport in the country, the airport has more than 35,000 airport staff. DIA has four main sections: Concourses A to C and Jeppesen Terminal.

The airport is also famous for its 32-foot tall, 9,000-pound Blucifer Blue Mustang sculpture. Many conspiracies revolve around its history, which also happens to be intriguing.

    On-Site Airport Parking Overview

    Key takeaways

    • The airport itself seems like it is out in the middle of nowhere so give yourself enough time to drive out, park, and shuttle to the terminal.
    • If you are able to plan ahead and pre-pay, your cheapest option for long-term parking by far is the lot at 61st and Peña. Just give yourself enough time to buy a $9 train ticket to jump on the train for a 11-minute ride to the terminal.
    • The cell phone waiting lot named Final Approach has more amenities than other waiting lots I've seen offering free wi-fi and eateries open from 5:00 - 12:00 AM.
    • Electric vehicle drivers will find 11 Level 1 type unit spots at the 61st and Peña lot as well as some hybrid vehicle spots and 36 electric vehicle EV charging stations located on Level 1 of the East and West parking garages.
