Departing Passengers
Parking and Departing
Denver International Airport has numerous parking options - two five-level garages
(including valet), two short-term parking areas, two uncovered economy lots, and
two outlying shuttle lots. When driving to the airport on Peña Boulevard,
watch for electronic roadway signs that display 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 his or her airline.
Some airlines offer curbside luggage check-in service. Checking luggage at
curbside may be faster than checking bags at the ticket counter. Read Airlines at
DIA to determine if your airline offers curbside check-in.
Arriving Passengers
“Arrivals” on Jeppesen Terminal Level 4 is designated for passenger
curbside pick-up. Arriving passengers who will take private transportation will
collect their luggage at baggage claim on Level 5 and take an escalator or elevator
down to Level 4, where private vehicles are allowed to drive through and pick up
passengers. Drivers cannot park and wait at curbside.
Drivers should follow the signs on Peña Boulevard to "Arrivals"
on Terminal West or Terminal East, Level 4. Overhead signs identify the airline
locations. Passengers must be at curbside waiting for their rides. Any unattended
vehicles will be towed immediately.
Options for picking up passengers include:
Immediate curbside pick-up on "Arrivals," Level 4 when travelers are waiting
at curbside.
- Delayed curbside pick-up when the driver is in the 45-minute area (located
on Peña Boulevard) waiting for a telephone call from the arriving travelers
indicating they are ready to be picked up at curbside.
- 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.
For safety, drivers must stay in their cars in the waiting area. When passengers
arrive and contact you, arrange to meet them at their airline door on "Arrivals,"
Level 4 and then drive to the terminal. Note: No public telephone or
restrooms are in the waiting area.
- Park and meet domestic travelers inside Jeppesen Terminal. Short-term
parking is located in the garages accessible via “Arrivals” Level 4,
both west and east sides of Jeppesen Terminal. After parking, we suggest meeting
travelers on Level 5 of Jeppesen Terminal at either the fountain or at the appropriate
baggage-claim carousel. 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 international travelers inside Jeppesen Terminal at the
north end of the atrium, at the International Arrivals area (near the statue of
Elrey Jeppesen). After clearing Customs and Immigration, arriving international
passengers enter Jeppesen Terminal on Level 5.
