Park and Ride Service (Immediate Transfer to Terminal)

Our Park and Ride service is a fast and efficient way to park your car near Luton Airport and get to the terminal without hassle. Here’s how it works and why it’s an excellent option:

• Drive to Our Car Park: On the day of your flight, Drive your vehicle to the Parking Luton Airport off site or overflow parking. Our car parks are located a short distance from London Luton Airport. It’s easy to find and reachable via main roads (we’ll provide clear directions in your booking confirmation).
• Transfer to the Airport: When you arrive at our car park, you won’t have to wait around. A private driver will be ready and waiting for you. As soon as you’ve checked in your car and unloaded your luggage, you’ll hop into our comfortable private transfer (which is just for you and your group – not a shared bus). We then transfer you immediately to the airport terminal. The drive is around 5 minutes, and you’ll be dropped off right at drop off point. This on-demand, private transfer means no waiting
• Enjoy Your Trip: While you’re gone, your car stays in our secure parking facility. We take good care of it for the duration of your trip. You keep your keys with you (for Park and Ride, in many cases, you may retain your keys unless we need to move the car within our car parks for operational reasons – if so, our staff are fully insured to drive your vehicle and will treat it with care).
• Return and Pick-Up: When you return to Luton Airport, we make your journey back to your car just as easy. As soon as you’ve collected your luggage and are ready to go, a driver will meet you at the airport pick up point. We typically arrange the pick at the Mid-Term car park (right by the terminal) for Park and Ride customers – this area is easy to reach from arrivals and avoids the congestion of the pickup point. Our driver will be there at the agreed time (we track your flight arrival time to adjust for delays) and help you with your bags.
• Direct Ride Back to Your Car: The driver will then take you straight back to our car park where your car is parked. You’ll be transferred in a private transfer directly Upon arriving at the car park, you can quickly get into your car and head home. The entire process is streamlined so you can go from plane to car in as soon as possible.

Why choose Park and Ride? It’s a fantastic choice if you want a budget-friendly solution with convenience. You effectively park near London Luton Airport without paying on-site prices, and you get a personalized, immediate transfer to and from the terminal. This service is great for families, groups, or anyone with a lot of luggage because you have help from our drivers and don’t need to lug bags onto a bus stop.

It’s also ideal if you’re arriving at an odd hour – we operate 24/7, so even if your flight is late at night, our drivers will be ready to assist.

Contrast with official parking: Remember, if you parked in the official Long Stay, you’d be waiting for that infrequent shuttle bus (potentially standing around in the dark or bad weather until it arrives). With Parking Luton Airport’s Park and Ride, a driver is always waiting for you. The difference is clear – we value your time and comfort.

For the ultimate convenience, our Meet and Greet service (also known as valet parking) is the perfect solution. This option is designed for travellers who want to skip the car park and transfers hand over their car and head straight to departures. Here’s how Meet and Greet works with Parking Luton Airport:

• Drive Directly to the Terminal: Instead of coming to our car park, you drive your own car straight to the airport terminal (Terminal 1 at Luton Airport). On the day of your departure, head to the drop-off point at the terminal. Typically, we’ll arrange to meet you in the official drop-off zone or a designated meet & greet area at Terminal 1. This will be confirmed with you beforehand, so you know exactly where to go.
• Meet Our Driver: When you arrive at the terminal, one of our professional drivers will be there to meet you at the terminal They will have your booking details and will identify themselves (you’ll recognize our uniform or ID). Our driver will do a quick check of your car – noting the mileage and any existing scratches or dents (for everyone’s peace of mind) – and then have you sign off on the app.
• Walk Straight to Check-In: As soon as the handover is done, you are free to walk straight into the terminal and proceed with your check-in or security. You’ve just saved the time and stress of finding a parking spot yourself. There’s no need to take a shuttle or even walk from a distant car park – you’re already at the airport. This is extremely convenient, especially if you’re short on time, have lots of luggage, or are traveling with kids. Many of our Meet and Greet customers love that they can drive right up, unload bags, and be on their way.
• We Park Your Car Securely: After you depart, our driver will take your car to our secure off-site parking. Your vehicle is handled with care – all our drivers are fully trained and insured to drive customer vehicles. They will park your car in our protected car park where it will stay for the duration of your trip. You don’t have to worry about your car at all while you’re away; it’s in safe hands.
• Return and Handover: When you’re flying back to Luton, we make sure your car is ready for you. As part of the booking, you’ll give us your return flight details. We keep an eye on live flight information, so we know if you’re early or delayed. Once you’ve landed and collected your luggage, you’ll call us (or we’ll already be aware and have a driver on the way). We’ll coordinate a meetup at the terminal – again, usually at a mid-term parking or designated meet & greet area right outside arrivals. Our driver will bring your car to you there. You simply walk out of the airport and, within minutes, you’re back in your own car.
