Parking rates for Denver International Airport’s economy and shuttle lots will increase $1 per day beginning July 1.
The east and west economy lots will cost $10 daily, while Pikes Peak and Mount Elbert shuttle lots will be $6. The terminal parking garage rate will remain $18 per day.
DIA officials said the parking rate increases are needed to keep airline costs low.
“Due to the financial condition of the airline industry, airports throughout the country are looking for ways to increase non-airline revenue and reduce costs for their tenant carriers,” said Patrick Heck, DIA’s deputy aviation manager.
The rate increases will generate about $1.4 million annually, which will be used to defray airline costs, Heck said.
DIA last raised its daily economy lot rate in June 2005, when it went from $7 to $9. The daily shuttle-lot rate was raised from $4 to $5 in July 1999.
