| Lot / Garage | Hourly | Daily | Access to terminal |

| Mt Elbert Garage Daily | — | $25/day | Skybridge to Jeppesen Terminal |
| Economy 61st & Pena Economy | — | $14/day | Free shuttle every 12 minutes |
| Mt Elbert Valet Valet | — | $35/day | Curbside drop-off |
Money-saving tip: 61st & Pena Economy is at the western edge of the airport property, requiring a 12-minute shuttle. For trips under 4 days the Mt Elbert garage saves enough time to justify the price gap.
How the on-site lots compare at DEN
The cheapest on-airport long-term option at DEN works for trips of four days or more, where the per-day savings outweigh the shuttle wait. For one- to three-day trips, the daily terminal garage is usually the better total-time call once you factor in the shuttle to and from a long-term lot.
Hourly parking is for pickups and meetings of less than four hours; rates climb steeply after the first hour at every airport. The cell phone waiting lot is free and is the right place to wait for an arriving passenger — pulling to the arrivals curb early forces you into a recirculation loop that at busy hubs like DEN can cost 15–25 minutes.
Off-airport parking near DEN
Independent operators within a few miles of DEN typically undercut on-airport economy by $3–$8 per day. The trade-off is shuttle frequency.
| Lot | Daily rate | Shuttle |
|---|---|---|
| WallyPark DEN | $14/day | Every 10 minutes, 24/7 |
| CanopyAirport Parking | $16/day | Every 10 minutes |
