Facility Overview
Park 2 Jet is a premier off-airport parking facility located at 18121 E 81st Ave, Denver, CO 80022, serving travelers flying out of Denver International Airport (DEN) as well as visitors to the Gateway Park and DIA hotel corridors. The facility offers an expansive, paved, fully fenced, and well-lit parking compound featuring both open-air surface parking bays and covered canopy spaces designed to protect vehicles from Colorado\'s intense sun, heavy winter snow, and occasional summer hailstorms. Thanks to its wide-open layout and unobstructed outdoor configuration, the open-air lot imposes virtually no vertical clearance limits, making it exceptionally accommodating for standard passenger cars, lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs with roof racks, and high-roof passenger vans. Covered parking structures are clearly signposted with safe clearance heights to accommodate most standard light trucks and crossovers with ease.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless travel experience, drivers are strongly advised to reserve their parking spot online in advance, particularly during peak summer travel periods, spring breaks, and winter holidays when off-airport lots frequently sell out. Plan to arrive at Park 2 Jet approximately 20 to 30 minutes before you intend to be at the airport terminal to allow comfortable time for lot check-in, parking, and shuttle loading. Keep your claim ticket or digital barcode handy on your smartphone upon return, and call the dedicated dispatch number as soon as you retrieve your checked bags at Level 5 to catch the next circulating shuttle without delay.
