Parking at Luton Airport

While it is possible to incur heavy charges for dropping off or picking up passengers in the wrong area, there are clearly marked drop off points close to the terminal. If you’re going to be longer than a couple of minutes it’s advisable to consider booking a short-stay parking space.

Luton offers both indoor and outdoor short-stay parking within walking distance of the terminal. This is the best choice for those who are looking to collect friends or family and require a little extra time. There are also some medium-stay spaces for customers who only need to park their car for a day or two.

With parking options that can last up to a few weeks at a time, Luton airport makes it super-easy to store your car while you’re away. All spaces are within walking distance of the terminal and many are in the brand-new multi-storey car park which boasts 1,700 spaces.

Start your journey with style by pre-booking Luton’s Meet and Greet service. Meet a professional valet by the entrance of the terminal and he will safely store your car ready for your return. When you are leaving the airport, notify the valet and he’ll have your car waiting for you as you exit the terminal.

Luton Airport has a single terminal so you can be sure that no matter where you park you’ll be in the right place for your flight.

As the carparks use an Automatic Number Plate Recognition system it is not possible to enter any of them without a booking. You may still be able to book spaces on the day, however, pre-booking is the only way to ensure a spot and a lower price.

• Book early: With many different types of parking all close to the terminal, there are normally a few on offer for the date you’re flying. Start looking for deals from the moment you book your flight and you could end up with some massive savings.

• Set off with plenty of time to spare: Roadworks are common around Luton airport and several airlines shut their gates 40 minutes before take-off so it is important to give yourself lots of time to make your flight.

• Make notes: As the airport has several parking services located across many different areas it can be very useful to keep a record of where you’ve parked to avoid any stress when retrieving your vehicle.
