A quick 3 minutes from M1 J10 and fast buses to the terminal. Airparks has free wifi, even on the buses.

Park on your way to the airport

Airparks' car park is close to Junction 10 on the M1. Drop off your car and let Airparks' regular airport shuttle bus take you the rest of the way to the airport. Using restricted bus-lanes, it zips past traffic jams and drops you at the terminal door in around 14 minutes.

This practical and popular car park saves you time and money. With no stress. And no walking

Need to know

Drive straight into the car photo booth at the car park, which rapidly scans your entire car body for reference and protection (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. Make sure you keep your ticket safe as you'll need it for your journey to and from the airport.

There are heated waiting areas so you can keep out of the elements. The shuttle to the terminal is included in the price, takes around 14 minutes and runs regularly. It's available 24 hours a day and even has free wifi. It's best to leave 40 minutes to park at Airparks and get to the airport - longer during the rush hour between 4am and 8am.

When you come back take the bus back to Airparks.

The small print

If you're planning on returning early try and give the car park as much notice as possible so they can have your car ready for you.

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.

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.
