London Luton Airport has one terminal, which keeps navigation simple. Official short stay, mid stay and long stay car parks are available, and the Luton DART shuttle links the terminal with Luton Airport Parkway station.
Types of airport parking
- Short stay – closest to the terminal, best for pick-ups and short trips, usually the most expensive per day.
- Long stay – official car parks a short shuttle ride away, normally better value for trips of several days.
- Meet and greet – a driver collects your car at the terminal and returns it when you land.
- Off-site park and ride – independent car parks outside the airport boundary with a transfer bus.
Drop-off and pick-up
Luton charges for using the terminal drop-off zone. Check the official airport website for current arrangements, including any free drop-off options further from the terminal.
Before you book
- Check which terminal your airline uses on the day of travel.
- Allow time for shuttle transfers, especially at peak times.
- Confirm the provider's cancellation terms and what happens if your flight is delayed.
- Check the provider is accredited – for example under the British Parking Association's Park Mark scheme.
