How to Save on DEN Parking

• Use economy lots. They're typically 50–70% cheaper than terminal garages with free shuttle service running every 5–10 minutes.
• Book online in advance through the official airport website for 10–30% discounts.
• Consider off-airport lots. Third-party lots near DEN often undercut airport prices and include shuttle service. Services like SpotHero and ParkWhiz offer online reservations.
• Use ride-share for short trips. For trips under 3 days, Uber/Lyft round-trip is often cheaper than daily parking fees.

Cell Phone Waiting Lot

DEN has a free cell phone waiting lot where drivers can park while waiting for arriving passengers. Wait until your passenger texts that they're at baggage claim, then drive to the terminal — it's typically a 2–5 minute drive from the waiting lot.
