Denver International Airport

The 45-minute Waiting Area is a place where you can wait in your car for an arriving passenger. This area is often called a "cell-phone lot" because arriving passengers usually notify the person picking them up via cell phone. The waiting area is located approximately three miles from Jeppesen Terminal just off Peña Boulevard and 75th Avenue. It is a quick drive to Arrivals (level 4) at the terminal to pick up a passenger waiting curbside.

The maximum wait time at this facility is 45 minutes. During peak periods, if this lot becomes full or congested, it may be closed for a short time. An alternative to this lot is to park in Garage Parking for just $3 an hour or in Short Term Parking for $4 an hour. For safety reasons vehicles are not allowed to park on Peña Boulevard or terminal roadways.

Note: Baggage claim is on level 5 and does not have public vehicle access, so direct your party to Arrivals level (level 4). Vehicles are allowed to drive through and pick up passengers, but they may not park and wait at curbside. Any unattended vehicle will be towed immediately.
