With only one terminal at Luton Airport, it is easy to book airport parking as there is no confusion about which airport car park is best for which terminal. When it comes to pre-booking airport parking, there are only three options to consider. You can choose from self park and block park options, or you may want to take advantage of a meet and greet service.



The self park option means you have to look for your own parking space and remember where you parked for when you return to collect your car. Block parking is easier; just turn up at reception, check-in and a staff member will park your car for you. On your return, your car will be waiting in the same area.

The meet and greet service offers you a bit of luxury. Drive to the terminal building where a uniformed, fully insured, authorised representative will meet you and take your car to the parking area for you. You must call the company about 10 minutes before you arrive at the terminal so the chauffeur can be dispatched.

Depending on the duration you park for, the price of airport parking will differ accordingly. Based on eight days using the block park option, the cheapest airport parking at Luton is at Central Car Storage, followed by Airparks and then Long Term Parking. However, if you would rather park your own car, the cheapest company is Mid Term Parking, followed by Express Parking.

You will need to pay a little more for the meet and greet service, but the benefits of someone else parking your car speak for themselves. This service leaves you free to go straight into the terminal and is ideal for business travellers or those with a young family.

In terms of security, all of the airport parking lots at Luton have CCTV, security fencing and flood lighting. For extra security, Express Parking, Long Term Parking and Mid Term Parking have a barrier control in place. While Airparks have no barrier, it should be noted that this lot has been awarded a Secure Parking Award from the Association of Chief Police Officers for their security which includes 24-hour patrol.

Whichever airport parking option you choose, with the exception of meet and greet services, it is necessary to make a 5 to 10-minute journey by courtesy bus to the terminal building. This complimentary service will also pick you up on your return. Simply walk outside the terminal building to where you were dropped off and the bus will take you back to the airport parking area.

To save money on airport parking at Luton, you need to pre-book parking instead of just turning up on the day of travel. The savings can be as much as 40 per cent by visiting airport-parking-discounts. This website offers secure payment with Visa, Master Card, Switch, Maestro, Solo, JCB, Visa Debit, Electron, Delta and Connect. For Visa and Master Card payments, there is a negligible handling charge.

After the booking and payment process is complete, you will receive a booking reference number which you should note in addition to printing your receipt; take both with you to your pre-booked airport car park.

As well as saving money by pre-booking, you will also guarantee that a parking space is available when you arrive. If you turn up on the day without pre-booking, there is a risk that the car park will be full and you will then have the hassle of trying to find alternative parking at a premium rate.
