Maple Parking Luton: the basics
Maple Parking runs a traditional meet and greet at Luton: you call ahead, a uniformed driver meets you inside Terminal Car Park 1 and takes the car to a secure car park, and you walk straight to the terminal. It is the highest price on our sample dates, and one of the few ways left at Luton to hand your keys to a person.
Maple asks you to call 01582 825656 when you are about 20 minutes from the airport, so a driver is sent to meet you. The handover is inside Terminal Car Park 1, and there is no transfer: you walk straight to the terminal.
Your car goes to a secure car park that Maple describes as having security barriers, CCTV throughout, 24-hour patrols, security lighting and 24-hour staff. The service runs around the clock.
Vehicles must fit a standard bay and clear the height limit below. Late returns cost £20 per day or part day after the booked date, per the reseller listing.
Where it is and how to get in
London Luton Airport sits on the south-east edge of Luton, about two miles from Junction 10 of the M1. Follow the signs for Terminal Car Park 1 and the meet and greet area.
Call ahead so the driver is waiting when you arrive.

Why pay more for Maple
Since 2026 the airport's own service has been a self-service key drop. Maple and APL are the firms still offering a person at the handover. For travellers with limited mobility, young children or simply a preference for handing the car to someone, that is the point of paying more.
