Arrival at Luton Airparks

Pull up to the barrier, which will lift automatically after a few seconds, then press the green button at the second barrier to enter the car park – as you enter they'll record the condition of your vehicle for safety and security.

Park in one of the arrivals bays, then head into the check-in building. Check yourself in using the machines – you'll need to have a copy of your booking confirmation to hand. There'll be a member of the parking team on hand to help if you need it.

The machine will give you a tag and a ticket. Attach the tag to your keys and keep your ticket safe as you'll need it later. Drop your keys in the box with the same number as the lane you've parked in. Your car will be parked for you, so just head to the waiting area and hop on the bus to the airport. You'll need to show your ticket to the driver.
If you have sports equipment or lots of luggage, you may need to wait for a bus with more space during busy times, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to get to the airport.

Getting to and from Luton airport

Arriving at the car park

Drive straight into the car photo booth at the car park, which scans your car for reference and protection (this takes no more than 5 seconds). Park in the arrivals lane and check in using one of the machines, which will give you a ticket. You'll also get a tag which you need to attach to your keys.

Drop your keys into the key-drop box outside reception – make sure you put them in the correct box for your lane number – and catch the shuttle bus to the terminal.

The bus is included in the price and runs regularly 24 hours a day. The journey takes around 14 minutes, plus there's free wifi on board! Your car will be parked for you while you make your way to the terminal.

Returning to the car park

When you return catch the shuttle bus back to the car park – you'll need to show the driver your ticket you got on your arrival.

Once you're back at the car park, head to the check-out shelter and follow the instructions on the key dispenser – it'll return your keys and tell you where your car is parked.

On your way out just insert your ticket into the exit barrier and wait for it to lift. Don't worry if you lose your ticket, just take your photo ID to reception and answer some security questions.

On your return to Luton Airparks

Catch the shuttle bus back to Airparks from bay E, you'll need to show the driver the ticket you were given when you arrived.

Make your way to the check-out shelter and follow the instructions on the key dispenser. The machine will give you your key back and show you on the screen where your car is.

Find your car and drive to the exit barrier – you'll need to insert your ticket to scan the barcode attached to your keys, and then the barrier will lift. If you lose your ticket, you'll need to go to reception, answer some security questions, then show a photo ID, so make sure you have one with you.

If you return early, you will need to contact the car park directly to give them as much notice as possible. If you don't, there may be a delay before you get your car back. We can't offer you a refund for any booked parking that you don't use.

More information

If you return early, you'll need to contact the car park directly to give them as much notice as possible. If you don't, there may be a delay before you get your car back. We can't offer you a refund for any booked parking that you don't use.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they are less than 2m wide x 2.1m high x 5m long. The car park cannot accept any high-sided vehicles, minibuses, mobile homes, lorries, caravans, trailers or vehicles larger than the above maximum dimensions. Vehicles with a taxi license plate can be parked on-site, but cannot use the Return Greet or Meet and Greet services offered by Airparks.

The shuttle bus can't accommodate large sporting equipment, so we'd recommend dropping any off with your passengers at the terminal first, then driving to Airparks.

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period until midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 per day. This is subject to change.

Help us go green! There's no need to print out your booking confirmation, just show it on your mobile device.

If you come back to a flat battery, the car park will be happy to jump start your car for free.
