Traveler Tip

Parking lots can fill quickly during peak travel times.

Parking at ASE (no reservations)

Please keep in mind that parking lots fill up quickly. We recommend using alternative forms of transportation, when possible. We do not offer parking reservations at this time.

ASE offers two convenient parking options for travelers:

  • Bear Lot – located just steps from the terminal entrance

  • Elk Lot (Economy) – a short walk from Baggage Claim

Follow parking signage on Airport Road (the frontage road parallel to Hwy 82). Click here to view a larger parking map.

Ticketless Parking

When using our ticketless entry and exit system, please lower your bike or ski racks if they block your back license plate and remove any snow that could cover the information. This will help ensure a smooth parking process.

Aspen Airport parking uses Metropolis for fast, ticketless entry and exit using license plate recognition.

For the easiest experience, register your license plate and payment method in the Metropolis app—it takes less than a minute. Register here.

Not registered yet? No problem. Scan a QR code in the parking area to sign up on the spot. When you enter and exit, cameras automatically match your license plate to your account and process payment. You can also access your profile to view parking history and download receipts.

Parking operations are managed onsite by SP Plus.
