What Customers Say

Jenny Boulton
Really easy to use park and ride at Luton Airport. Always thought parking at the airport would be too expensive but parking a bit further out makes a lot of difference.

Lisa Vetere
Great value park and ride service here. I was looking at parking closer to the airport but saved around £150 by parking at the Airparks Self Park. Really recommended this, and the transfer arrived super quickly too.
Recent
Ryan Patel
Used the park and ride at Luton Airport for a week away and honestly couldn’t fault it. Directions were clear, parking was straightforward and the shuttle bus only took about 10 minutes to the terminal. The driver even helped with luggage. Much cheaper than parking on-site and felt secure leaving the car there. Would definitely book again.

Shanice Bellamy
Really smooth experience from start to finish. Check-in was quick, we parked up and the transfer bus arrived within a few minutes.
