Driving to Luton Airport is an excellent way to arrive as public transport in the United Kingdom simply can’t be relied upon in the same way as it can in mainland Europe, especially not with the likes of Switzerland! If you are going to drive down, you’ll need somewhere to park your car for your stay; Luton can provide with such parking and for affordable prices. There are four main types of car parking available at Luton and these take the names short-term parking, mid-term parking, long-term parking and priority parking. Short-term parking is what Luton call their ‘premium product’ and is located just a minute or two from the terminal. Parking for motorcycles is free of charge in the short-term parking bays, but cars can rack up a considerable charge if they are parked here for a lengthy stay; a 50% discount can be achieved if you book well in advance via Luton Airport’s website.

Mid-term parking is an airport designed for all users (business and leisure) for lengths of staying ranging from one day to a week; any longer and long-term car parking bays become more effective in terms of price. For stays of over a week, especially for long summer holidays, long-term parking becomes the best choice for people to park their cars. The car park is situated 10 minutes away from the terminal and can be accessed by bus. Finally, priority parking offers a real luxury service; parking staff will meet you when you arrive directly outside your terminal (meaning less distance to cover with your heavy luggage!), help you unload your car, and then drive your car off to a secure location. When you return it will be waiting for you in the same spot outside the terminal when your flight lands.
