Airport Parking sites

[Romer]

In my normal engineer way, I built a spread sheet to evaluate Airport Parking sites. For short trips I just park in the airport Garage. When I worked it was always the airport garage. I have also been using Uber back and forth, but due to other logistics, that just isnt practical for this trip.

Looking at reviews it looks like they all have issues with their shuttles, mostly from Pickup at the airport. Common issue is long shuttle return rate which cause more people than can fit in a shuttle to line up further causing delays. Yet sometimes everything runs like clockwork, seems to be luck of the draw at someplaces.

The best reviews seem to be for Wally Park and Fine Parking. Wally Park is outside and Fine Parking is way more expsensive, but it is inside

I wanted at least covered parking with this intense heat and potential Hail

If all things were equal, ParkDia is covered, secured and also the closest which makes for a shorter shuttle ride


Anyone have any recent input?

My 2 cents, the a line is usually pretty darn reliable and comfy. And beats driving pena Blvd! But Robin lives near an a line stop so it is a no brainer for us.

When I traveled for work it was always the garage for me, too!

I have used the covered parking at ParkDIA a few times. Never any issues. I've also used Park2Jet once, when ParkDIA was full- and would NOT recommend it.

My PSA - if you have catalytic convertors, don't park at any of the airport lots. Ask me how I know.

I always liked Park DIA. Covered in the Summer.

Thanks everyone so far for the input. That is how I am leaning

I figured I would post this as it may help someone else navigate airport parking. I definitly don't want to park at the airport satillite lots like Pikes Peak as too much crime there

I’ll add the bus parking as well, although I am now very thankful for my brand new and shiny manifold back exhaust system! The bus costs me $10 each way to the airport, no stops for me. But I won’t ride it unless I have someone to drop me at the Flatiron Mall bus stop.

I’m a WallyPark user, used to travel a lot. It’s fine, and will agree most return parking shuttle schedules suck. Perhaps somewhat of a tactic to increase parking fees if they make you later than your reservation ?

We used USAirport Parking for years. A few years ago, they got bought by the Parking Spot and turned to shit. Since then, we've been ParkDIA all the way.

We have used Parking Spot a few times…thought it was fine. Last big trip was worried about hail so used Canopy Parking. Seemed fine. But maybe I should shop around more per the suggestions made above.

I usually do Economy West for quick work trips. Used to do Pikes Peak but tired of riding that bus.

ParkDIA caused me to almost miss a vacation due to their horrible shuttles. I had to bag it and drop the family off and hit short term it was so bad. Never again. I've used wally park when i was consulting and traveling a ton and never had an issue then or for family traveling in 15 years of parking with them.

For what it's worth Central Park on the A-Line has always been reliable for my wife and I. Perhaps random luck but no issues with break ins, hail, or anything concerning. Mostly we park her Volvo there but I have left my cruisers there with goodies a number of times. Low daily cost and cost of train ticket.
