Long term parking/shuttle to DIA?
 
I may be left without a ride to DIA on an upcoming trip. I've never used any of those park/shuttle services. Anybody have a recommendation? From what I've seen it looks like many run around $10 a day. Any options cheaper than that?

Have you looked into parking at the old Stapleton lot and taking the RTD Park n' Ride to DIA? It has covered parking, I believe, and is probably one of the least expensive options because it's a fair distance to DIA.

USA parking...we use it every time.

I'm digging this one up because I have a similar situation. I need a ride to DIA from the tech center in Denver. I looked around and Super Shuttle seems to be everywhere, but I don't see a lot of love for them. I'll be gone 12 days total so I don't want to park at a lot. Are there any other recommended shuttles? Limo companies or taxi?

Thanks!

We have used Super Shuttle from Greenwood Village and it is okay. You have to be picked up a number of hours in advance. About $40.

Thanks Gretchen!

Can I specify a time I want to be at the airport or do they want to know my flight time? I like to be at the airport much earlier than security recommends, especially this time as I'm heading to London and I don't know the whole procedure for BA.

Thanks again!

You can sometimes use a hotel shuttle. I've done that from the old Stapleton area, and the hotels were fine with it. I think it only cost me about $10. But of course you will need a ride to the hotel. Maybe same would work with a DTC hotel.

They asked us when our flight left and then told us when they would pick us up. One time we were flying standby and told them when to do it, not holding them accountable. And DIA in our experience has the MOST security of ANYwhere in the US. I'm sure you can tell them earlier, if you want.

Thanks Maureen and Gretchen!

I live near 25 and Belleview, so I'll call the Shuttle place first and if I don't like that I'll try local hotels. Plenty in the area.

Thanks again!

One more: USAirport parking (Tower Road) is the fastest and most efficient (download their coupon for a little savings). They pick you up when/where you park, and we've NEVER had to wait for the airport pick up (but ALWAYS go to the West side).

Our kids are not far from there (The Preserve). It has worked fine--I was a bit afraid they might not find the house one time.
