Booking their Meet & Greet service gives you access to their extensive logistical network, guaranteeing prompt vehicle returns and exceptional customer care on your arrival day.
Dropping Off
Because road space at the top of the terminal hill is severely limited, London Luton Airport enforces strict, camera-monitored drop-off charges. Rather than risking a substantial penalty just to unload your luggage, the smartest decision is to pre-book a parking space. However, if you must use the drop-off zones, here is the essential information you need to avoid financial penalties.
The Express Drop-Off zone is the closest location to unload passengers. This convenience comes with a mandatory fee of £7 for up to 10 minutes . If you exceed this window, the cost increases by £1 for every additional minute, with a strict maximum stay of 30 minutes.
The Express Drop-Off zone operates as a cashless, barrier-free system. There are no ticket machines. The zone is monitored by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras that record your exact entry and exit times.
You must process your £7 payment by midnight the following day. You can complete this transaction in two ways:
If you do not make this payment before the strict midnight deadline, the airport will issue a £95 Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to the registered keeper of the vehicle (reduced to £55 if paid within 14 days). Booking a guaranteed parking space through our platform removes this stress entirely.
Be aware that information claiming the Mid Stay car park is free for 15 minutes is outdated. This is no longer valid. Entering the Mid Stay facility without a reservation now incurs a minimum turn-up charge of £15.00 for one hour.
To drop off passengers free of charge, use the Long Stay Car Park. The airport allows up to 2 hours of free parking in this area. Passengers can unload their luggage and take the free 10-minute shuttle bus to the terminal.
Waiting on the approach roads, grass verges, or roundabouts to collect arriving passengers is strictly prohibited. These are designated red routes, patrolled by mobile CCTV camera vans; stopping will result in an immediate fine. Park in Terminal Car Park 1 or Terminal Car Park 2 to wait legally and safely while monitoring flight arrivals. Here you can find parking tariff of termical car park 1 and 2.
Park & Stay
If you are travelling up the heavily congested M1 for an early morning flight, the anxiety of traffic delays can ruin the start of your trip. Booking a bundled "Stay, Park & Fly" package is a highly attractive upgrade. You secure a comfortable hotel room for the night before your flight, enjoy a good meal, and leave your vehicle securely stored for the duration of your holiday.
Book a room at the Holiday Inn Express or the Ibis for maximum convenience. Both hotels are located on the main airport approach road, close enough to walk up the hill to the terminal. These packages offer excellent, low-cost overnight rates combined with secure vehicle storage for your entire trip.
Choose a package at the Courtyard by Marriott to start your trip in premium comfort. Located just half a mile from the terminal, this hotel features modern rooms, a top-tier fitness centre, and an excellent on-site restaurant. Their integrated parking packages let you leave your car safely at the hotel while you take a quick transfer to the departure lounge.
The Premier Inn is our most popular family option, offering exceptional value. Located very close to the airport, it guarantees the brand's comfortable beds and hearty breakfasts. Their "Stay, Park, and Fly" deals are highly economical, allowing you to combine overnight accommodation and long-term parking in one discounted transaction.
Directions
Navigating to London Luton (LTN) is straightforward, whether you are driving to maximize your up to 80% savings with Britain Car Parks or using public transport.
The airport is directly accessible via Junction 10 of the M1. From there, follow the A1081 dual carriageway straight to the terminal approach.
Sat-Nav Postcode: LU2 9QT.
Pro-Tip: If you have booked an off-site provider like Airparks or APH, navigate directly to the address on your confirmation email. Do not follow the main terminal signs, or you will trigger the £7 camera-controlled drop-off fee.
If you have booked an independent off-site provider such as APH or Airparks through **Britain Car Parks**, you must enter the provider's specific compound address (found on your booking confirmation) into your GPS. If you follow the general signs to the main terminal, you will trigger the £7 Express Drop-Off camera fee.
Travel to Luton Airport Parkway station via Thameslink or East Midlands Railway. From there, transfer to the Luton DART, a seamless, automated shuttle that glides to the terminal in under 4 minutes. It operates 24/7, ensuring you never miss a connection.
Luton is a premier hub for 24/7 coach travel. National Express runs high-frequency services (A1 and A2) to London Victoria and Paddington, while the Green Line 757 offers a reliable, cost-effective link to the capital. Local Arriva buses also serve the on-site bus station located just outside the departure hall.
Most private hires drop passengers at the Express Drop-Off zone. Be aware that the airport's mandatory £7 fee is typically added to your final fare. For your return journey, we recommend meeting your driver in Terminal Car Park 1 to avoid the aggressive red-route stopping fines on the approach roads.
At The Airport
By securing your parking at a discounted rate through our platform, you free up your travel budget to enjoy Luton’s extensive, 16-million-passenger terminal facilities.
Reinvest your parking savings by purchasing a Fast Track Security pass. During peak Friday evening periods or school holidays, the central security queues become highly congested. This pass grants you access to a dedicated priority lane, significantly reducing your processing time and accelerating your entry into the departure lounge.
Luton Airport ensures full accessibility for all commercial passengers. Designated, extra-wide Blue Badge parking bays are concentrated in Terminal Car Park 1, Mid Stay, and Long Stay car parks. Fully accessible Help Points are situated adjacent to these bays – simply press the intercom to dispatch the Special Assistance team to your vehicle.
Value Benefit: Blue Badge holders are entitled to up to one hour of free parking in Terminal Car Park 1. Park in the bays, display your badge, and present your parking ticket at the Priority Parking desk on Level 2 to have the fee completely waived.
Begin your holiday shopping in the large Aelia Duty-Free store, purchasing premium cosmetics, luxury spirits, and designer fragrances at tax-free prices. The terminal also features leading retail brands, allowing you to purchase athletic wear at JD Sports, premium makeup at MAC, or essential travel toiletries from Boots.
