Directions To DEN
The airport is easily accessed by interstate highways and is conveniently located less than 35 minutes from downtown Denver by car, shuttle buses, public transportation or taxis.

Peña Boulevard is the primary route to Denver International Airport. The boulevard is accessible from Interstate 70 (Exit 284 eastbound, Exit 285 westbound), from Airport Boulevard, from Tower Road or from the E-470 toll road.

General Parking Information
When driving to Denver International Airport on Peña Boulevard, watch for electronic roadway signs which display garage and economy parking availability. We accept all major credit cards.

For additional parking information, call the airport's parking hotline, 303-DIA-PARK (303-342-7275). The DIA Parking Hotline provides space availability information for all parking areas at the airport.

Short- & Long-Term Parking
There are approximately 25,000 public parking spaces are available for short- and long-term parking. Plus approximately 8,900 spaces for overflow parking.

Parking at curbside is prohibited on the Arrivals and Departures levels of the Terminal. A 45-minute waiting area is located opposite the former Access Plaza for people picking up arriving travelers. You can wait there until you make cell phone contact with your party and then drive to the Terminal to meet them at a pre-arranged door on the Arrivals or Departures level.

The Economy Lots next to the Terminal garages fill up first. Updated information on parking spaces is available by calling 303-DIA-PARK (303-342-7275).

Overhead electronic signs and variable message boards on inbound Peña Boulevard display real-time parking information. Parking messages also will be broadcast on DEN's radio channel, 540AM.

DIA’s least expensive parking is in the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot. Take the “75th Ave/Rental Car Return” exit off of inbound Peña Boulevard. Allow an extra 20-30 minutes to get to the lot and catch the free shuttle bus to the Terminal, where you will be dropped off at curbside. Free shuttle buses leave for the Terminal every 10 minutes.

The Mt. Elbert Shuttle Lot and the former National Rental Car Lot have more than 11,700 overflow spaces if the Pikes peak Lot fills up. Travelers will be directed to those lots only as needed.

Consider using alternate transportation or arranging for a friend to drop you off. Information on buses, shuttles, taxis, etc. is available online, by calling the Ground Transportation Information Counter at 303-342-4059 or by email at groundtrans@diadenver.net.

Dropping Off Travelers
Parking and Departing
Denver International Airport has numerous parking options - two five-level garages (including valet), two uncovered economy lots and two outlying shuttle lots. When driving to the airport on Peña Boulevard, watch for electronic roadway signs which display garage and economy parking availability.

As you approach Jeppesen Terminal, overhead roadway signs indicate which airlines operate from the east and west sides of the Terminal. REMEMBER: it will be more convenient to park on the side where your airline's ticket counters and baggage claim are located.

Curbside Drop-Off
If you are dropping off a passenger at curbside, follow the "Departures" signs to Terminal Level 6. Airline ticket counters are just inside the doors on Level 6 and overhead roadway signs indicate which airlines operate from the east and west sides of the Terminal. You may drive through and drop your passenger at the curbside location designated for their airline.

Picking-Up Travelers
Curbside Pick-up
"Arrivals" Level 4 alongside the Jeppesen Terminal is designated as the passenger curbside pick-up area. Deplaning passengers who are to be picked up in a private car will collect their luggage at baggage claim on Level 5 and take an escalator or elevator down to Level 4. On this level, private cars are allowed to drive through and pick up passengers, but they may not park and wait at curbside.

Follow the signs on Peña Boulevard to Level 4 Terminal West or Terminal East, depending upon the airline. Overhead signs at curbside indicate the location designated for each airline. REMEMBER: cars may not park and wait at curbside for an arriving passenger. The passenger must be at curbside waiting for the driver. Any unattended vehicles will be towed immediately.

Options for picking up passengers include:
*Immediate curbside pick-up on Level 4 when the traveler has contacted the driver by phone and is waiting at curbside.
*Delayed curbside pick-up when the driver has arrived early and is waiting in the 45-minute waiting area (located on Pena Boulevard) in anticipation of a phone call from the traveler indicating they are ready to be picked up at curbside on Level 4.
*The 45-minute waiting area is just beyond the E-470 overpass on inbound Peña Boulevard. Vehicles may pull into the waiting area to wait for a passenger. When you make cell phone contact with an arriving traveler, arrange to meet at their airline door on Level 4 and then drive to the Terminal. For safety reasons, drivers must stay in their cars in the waiting area. There are no telephones or restrooms in the waiting area. If your vehicle is towed, call 303-342-4086.
*Park and meet your DOMESTIC traveler inside the Jeppesen Terminal. After parking, we suggest meeting on Level 5 of Jeppesen Terminal at either the fountain or at the appropriate baggage claim carousel. Due to increased security, only ticketed passengers or those with a demonstrated need may go to the airline gates. Demonstrated need must be arranged with the airlines, not the airport.
*Park and meet your INTERNATIONAL traveler inside Jeppesen Terminal. After parking, you may meet your passenger on Level 5 North of Jeppesen Terminal at the International Arrivals Area. Arriving international passengers walk through an enclosed walkway to the Customs and Immigration Area and exit into the Terminal on Level 5.
