Cost Comparison
Casper/Natrona County International Airport is more than just an airport. Located in the heart of Wyoming, we ensure easy, convenient, and seamless travel with a focus on customer service.
The convenience and time advantages of flying C/NCIA are evident to many, but what may not be as evident is the cost of driving to and flying out of Denver. We are your connection that allows you to skip the stress of driving Wyoming’s questionable roads and waiting in long security lines at DIA. With secure and inexpensive parking, proximity to home, and quick security, we offer added convenience and less stress.
Add It up
We know that there is more to travel than the cost of your airline ticket; travel time to and from the airport, parking, fuel, tolls, wear and tear on your vehicle, and possible lodging can really add up. Here are some costs to consider, in addition to the cost of an airline ticket, when flying from Casper vs. Denver.
Parking at Denver International Airport
Parking at Denver International Airport (DIA) ranges between $7 and $168 per day, but most commonly between $8 (with a shuttle) and $30 (parking garage).
Parking in Casper is $6 per day* with no shuttle needed since our lots are easy to access and are close to the terminal.
*Parking for the first 4 hours is free
Mileage
Roundtrip travel from Casper to Denver is 555 miles. Factoring in what the IRS factors in for the cost to operate a car, the cost of driving to DIA and back is approximately $371.85. One roundtrip to DIA is the equivalent of half a month of miles put on a vehicle for the average driver. While that may not be a cost paid today, it will be in the future when your car has to be serviced and replaced sooner.
Tolls
Tolls are inevitable when driving to Denver if you want to save time, roundtrip tolls on E70 to DIA range between $11.60 (Express Toll) and $18.40 (License Plate Toll). That adds up!
