Luton airport carpark

Any tips on where to park at Luton Airport. Don't want to leave my 'keys' with some numpty to park and not too keen on long term car park. Thanks

How long you going away for? and what time do you fly out?

I always use the business parking or whatever it's called - right next to the short-term parking and a short walk to the terminal. It's a normal carpark where you keep the keys. Gone up in price smartly over the past few years though ...

(My car is in Pink Elephant at LHR right now as I'm in the US ... nowhere is as expensive as these guys!!).

Mudstud....if you are flying out earlyish morning, it may be worth investigating a stay over in one of the on-site hotels such as 'Travel-inn'. Last year when we flew from there we could have stayed in one of these for the std overnite fee, which usually is around £50 for a double/twin room, breakfast thrown in, and you get to leave the car in the hotel carpark.(5 min walk to terminal or i think they provide a schuttle to and from)....the other up side is you are at the airport bright fresh and on time!..(doesnt really work if your on an evening flight!!)
Hotels can be found by doing a search on the BAA Luton web site.
Mid term parking/buisness parking starts at £10 per day or part day...

The other option is to park at 'Luton airport parkway'(the train station) and take the courtesy bus.
I think it is an NCP, but depending upon how long you are away, won't be as much as the airport carparks.

Alternatively, you could leave it with me in Leicester, and catch the train

Thanks for suggestions, tried them all out but looks like I'll be stung by airport parking at +/- £13/night. Perchance the car park isnt owned by TVR is it!!!!!

I don't think its too bright to advertise where you left your car whilst going away??
(I would guess that not everyone who reads these lists is a fan of TVR's for their performance.)

If you've ever parked in one of these carpark you'll know they are full of expensive cars so this is not really an issue. Advertising your home address while you're away would be though!

Buy a months season ticket to Luton Airport Parkway rail station. It will be a lot less trhan 13 per night. It is under cover, and monitered by CCTV, and there is always someone there.

Aren't there three car parks at Luton? The stoney one with the bus service is crap but I think the mid term one isn't too bad and has security...

You could allways leave it my house and get a train down from Bedford.It goes direct to Luton Airport rail link.
