Beta on DIA parking?

[The Norseman]

OK, I executed a COAR search and did not find any real info so I'm hoping not to be asking a question already asked 100 times.....

Anyone have a recommendation for airport parking that is a good blend of inexpensive, convenient (well served by shuttle), and secure?

Thanks!

any one of the parkings services located off sire on Tower road. USAparking comes to mind. We stopped on site DIA parking once shuttle service was offered.

I use USAirpark. Shuttles are always running and I have never been late for a flight and never waited more than ten minutes for a shuttle when returning from the airport and they take you right to your car. I will park in the covered parking at DIA when someone else is paying the bill.

Do any of them still have rabbit problems?

[wctriumph]

Ya got me, I have never seen a rabbit at USA, the place is completely paved and fenced.

Yep off tower is your best choice. The coupon flyers usually have a little $$ coupon for the USA place.


not sure about their parking lots but rabbits are all over the place at the airport.

Massive and Elbert lots are about $7.00 a day and have constant shuttle service. Security is probably lower than the other options.

Canopy parking is where we usually park. Across from USA on Tower Road. They have open air, covered and valet. If you have a E-470 toll pass, you can print a coupon from the E-470 sight.

Thanks all! As I'm in Durango, access to discount flyers is tough. I'll do a little internet sleuthing to find a printable coupon.

I've found this outfit to be very convenient. They load and unload your bags, and have a lot of shuttle vehicles. Never waited very long, ever! Here's a coupon http://www.valpak.com/coupons/printable/THE-PARKING-SPOT---TOPS---DENV/13025

USA parking also gives an AAA discount. I think its better than most of their coupons.

Beat me to it. IMO ANY place off site parking is better than DIA.

Canopy is where we park, and they give you a discount for return customers. Covered for our vehicles,,, Just in case.

I know you specifically asked about Parking.

But if you are interested in a way to GET to the airport and have your car be safe...

I take the bus.

Several options for the SKYRIDE. http://www.rtd-denver.com/skyride.shtml
1) Have someone drop you off at the bus station
2) Use a Park & Ride (may have to pay ..but if you do, it is $2/day for in district and $4/day for out of district)
NOTE: In my opinion the Park-n-Ride is kind of like a 'shuttle'...but the shuttle ride is just longer that a shuttle from the airport lot
3) Walk to the station (I have an advantage of living a few blocks away...it is nice to walk sometimes)
4) Call-n-Ride (Small bus picks you up at your house and takes you to the main SKYRIDE station...use transfer/no extra fee if taking Skyride...not available everywhere) http://www.rtd-denver.com/callNRide.shtml

Discount Skyride tickets available at King Sooper's.

I've found that, for me, the ride itself only takes about 10 mins longer than if someone drove me and I got dropped off at the terminal.
It is actually shorter, time-wise, if I have to park and take a shuttle to the terminal.
Most of the time my car stays in MY garage while I am gone.

I know this does not always work for everyone...but when I tried it...I LIKED it.

I use wallypark. Not cheap but damn quick and nice. It's vallet. You pull up, they load your bags in the waiting shuttle and ya head out. When you come home, the shuttle is waiting for you right outside baggage claim. They have your car warmed up (or cooled off) and waiting for you. And water bottles in each cup holder. I feel its about 35 min quicker then the other lots too because your not on a shuttle dropping off everyone near their car.
