Parking at Luton Airport

Avoid the heavy charges for dropping off and picking up in the wrong area by using the clearly marked drop-off points close to the terminal. These areas can be busy, so if you would like somewhere a little less crowded you may want to consider booking a short-stay parking space.

Collect friends and family from any of Luton’s short-stay carparks, all of which are within walking distance of the terminal. There’s also the option to book medium-stay spaces, for customers looking to store their vehicle for a couple days.

Store your car for weeks at a time with the airport’s fantastic range of long-stay parking services. And, thanks to the new 1,700 space multi-storey carpark and walkway, you can be sure that wherever you park you’ll be within walking distance of the airport.

Add a VIP touch to the start of your holiday with Luton Airport’s Meet and Greet service. All you have to do is drive up to one of the professional valets by the entrance of the terminal and they will store your car in a secure carpark. Then, as you return, simply notify the valet and they’ll have your car waiting for you as you exit the airport.

Luton Airport only has a single terminal so you can be sure that wherever you’re parked you will be in the right place for your flight.

You will be unable to enter the carparks of Luton Airport without a booking as they all use an Automatic Number Plate Recognition System. There is the option to book parking in any available spaces on the day, however, the only way to be sure you’ll get a space and the best price is to pre-book online.

• Book early: As Luton has a wide variety of parking services, you can often find one on sale if you book early enough. Be sure to look for deals on parking as soon as you’ve booked your flight to get the best price.

• Set off with plenty of time to spare: As there are commonly roadworks around Luton Airport and several of the operating airlines have a policy of closing their gates 40 minutes before departure, it’s important to give yourself a little extra time to get parked up and through security.

• Make notes: The airport carpark is particularly large and difficult to navigate so it can be helpful to keep a note of where you’re parked.
