I've worked in my current job for about two years and have only had to travel a couple times. Even so, it's never been by air. Typically, I would rent a car and drive a few hours away to the customer's location.
The people that do regularly travel by air have to drive to the airport and leave their car. They can also take a taxi/Uber/Lyft, but that's only for the in town airport. Usually they need to travel to the neighboring city's airport because it's bigger.
So I have to travel by air in a couple weeks out of a neighboring city's airport. My problem is that I just bought a new car last week. I'm extremely paranoid about leaving my car at an airport for a week while I'm gone, but I don't see another option. Uber is out of the question because it's way too far. Renting a car will most likely be denied as well because I know my boss won't want to rent two cars for one job visit. This is especially true because one of the cars will just be sitting in a parking lot for a week.
What are my options for dealing with this?

"What are my options for dealing with this?" - get someone else to drive you to the airport and pick you up when you return. Or pay for alternative transportation out of your own pocket.

Your workplace options are to just go along with it or to refuse and insist on another option, and deal with whatever consequences come with that. Have you spoken to your boss about this? You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about what they'll do. Any other possible way you could get to the airport wouldn't really be workplace related. Although it's worth noting that a lot of car rental services (at least where I'm from) allow you to return cars to one of many locations (sometimes with a small surcharge), so it wouldn't necessarily be "sitting in a parking lot for a week".

Some areas have shuttles that run between the nearby towns and the airport. If this is less than the weekly parking rate you may be ok.
Also, you have comprehensive coverage on your car for a reason. Check your deductible and make sure it is at a point you are comfortable with paying should something happen. Possible, but not guaranteed, if you car was damaged while parked you could file the deductible as a business expense. That might be a stretch, but you never know.
You could also ask your employer if they will pay the 'garage' rate at the airport. Many large airports have private parking options that are covered and have security.
Lastly, don't rule out Uber. Price it out and ask your employer if they will pay this in lue of parking. It is not exactly cheap to park at the airport for a week.
The likelihood of an incident while parked is low. Not impossible, but low. So don't worry so much if you go that route. I would opt for the covered parking though, even if you have to pay extra out of pocket, in case it hails or something.
