Two out of every three of our Luton customers choose Airparks, and 98% of them say they would book again. Time after time, people trust Airparks to park their car. Maybe it's because Airparks spends hundreds of thousands of pounds making sure the car park is in tip-top condition, or because its new state-of-the-art self check-in process is just as swift as its around a 14-minute transfer time. The car park's security and friendly customer service come as standard, but we think it's the outstanding value that keeps people coming back.
Security measures
Airparks Luton is protected by CCTV, entry and exit barriers, a fence and floodlighting, and is patrolled 24 hours a day.
Airparks Luton holds the Park Mark, a national security award accredited by the Association of Chief Police Officers. To be awarded the Park Mark, car parks have to have modern security measures and be clean and well-lit.
Οδηγίες
We recommend that you follow the directions given to get to the car park, but if you still want to use a sat nav, you should enter the full address and postcode to avoid getting lost.
Pull up at the entrance barrier, which will lift automatically after a few seconds, then press the green button at the second barrier in order to enter the car park – as you enter we will record the condition of your vehicle for safety and security.
Park in one of the arrivals bays, then head into the check-in building. You check yourself in using the machines - it's a very quick process, though you'll need to have a copy of your booking confirmation with you. There's a member of staff on hand to help if you need it.
The machine will give you a tag, which you should attach to your keys, and a ticket, which you should keep 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.
Please make sure you leave your charging cable in your vehicle so that the car park can charge it for you whilst you're away.
