Our Locations at Denver International Airport (DIA/DEN)

We have two parking locations servicing Denver airport (DIA/DEN), all with regular and frequent shuttle service to the airport. Between our parking facilities, we have 3 different options to cover your parking needs.


The Parking Spot South is located just southwest of the airport, near the intersection of E. 56th Ave and N. Himalaya Rd. This facility is easily accessed via main highways including I-70, I-270, and E-470. Just minutes away from the airport, we offer our Standard uncovered lot with trunk-to-terminal shuttle service. We’ve also launched our new Basic uncovered self-park, our new low-cost offering to keep travel affordable. Spend money on your vacation, not your parking!


The Parking Spot West (formerly known as US Airport Parking) is located on Tower Rd, right off E-470. Slightly west of DEN Airport, this location is especially convenient for travelers coming from the north or from I-76. We have both uncovered and covered spaces here, so your vehicle can be protected from rain, snow, or the scorching summer sun.

Denver Airport Parking Options Compared

Denverites often ask “why should I choose The Parking Spot over a different parking option?” Read on to find out.


The Parking Spot vs DEN Airport Parking Lots

There are many parking options at Denver International Airport, including terminal garages (East & West), economy lots (East & West), and shuttle lots (Pikes Peak & Longs Peak). But we all know the saying: quality over quantity.


  • The economy and garages run $18-30/day, which can be unaffordable especially for longer trips.
  • The shuttle lots may be cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Expect barebones service, waiting for shuttles, and no amenities such as baggage assistance or a real-time tracking app.


Why choose us? The Parking Spot offers better rates and unparalleled service with all the amenities you deserve: contactless entry and exit, baggage assistance, emergency car services, frequent shuttles, and an app for real-time updates.


The Parking Spot vs Other Lots

Denver has many off-site parking options, including ParkDIA, Canopy Airport Parking, Fine Airport Parking, and WallyPark. These lots try to provide the full-service parking experience on a budget, with prices starting at $12-15/day for uncovered surface lots. Sometimes, these lots will also offer valet service, EV charging, or complimentary shuttle service.


But, The Parking Spot locations in Denver offer the real deal. We offer better discounts and lower rates, more frequent and reliable shuttle service, 24/7/365 service, a real-time tracking app, and amenities such as loyalty rewards and free bottles of water. The Parking Spot has it covered when it comes to the golden trifecta of affordable, secure, and convenient DIA parking.  You’ve tried the rest, now try the best.


The Parking Spot vs RTD

Denver does operate public transit options to-and-from Denver International Airport, the RTD (Regional Transportation District).


  • You can take a train (104L, 145x, 169L, AB1/AB2/AB3, AT/ATA, or the A train from Union Station) or the Skyride bus.
  • These options can seem cheap at about $10 for an Airport Day Pass.


But, these options can be inconvenient:

  • Train and bus timing is dependent on their fixed schedules, and subject to traffic conditions
  • Not always the most comfortable option when traveling late at night or early in the morning
  • Tickets are per-person and per-trip, which means costs can rack up quickly
  • Increased crowding during peak times
  • You may need to pay an additional fee for the park-and-ride lot
  • No baggage assistance, and oftentimes not enough room for all your bags
  • Not the easiest option when traveling with large groups or children


The Parking Spot at DEN simplifies all those parking problems. 

  • It doesn’t matter if you’re traveling solo or bringing your family of five along – you pay one price.
  • Travelling with a ton of bags? Our shuttle drivers are ready to assist you with your luggage.
  • In a rush or running late? Relax, we have shuttles running constantly to-and-from the airport
  • Worried about the weather? The Parking Spot offers covered spaces so your car is protected. And, we’re always happy to help clear off snow and provide any emergency car services you might need like a battery jump or fixing a flat tire.


What are you waiting for? Park your chariot in one of our many uncovered or covered spaces, hop on one of our many frequent shuttles, and relax as we get you to the airport in comfort and style.
