Is it worth booking Luton parking early?
Yes, more than at most airports. Airparks Drop and Go was £116.97 booked a week out and £100.97 booked a month out, a £16 difference for nothing but deciding earlier. Luton only returned six car parks, so there is less spare capacity to discount when the date gets close.
Why does London Luton parking cost more per night for a short trip?
Because car parks price the space rather than the night. There is a fixed cost to taking a bay out of circulation at all, so the first few days carry most of it and every extra day is cheaper.
At London Luton the cheapest car park worked out at £21.66 a night for three nights, £12.62 for eight and £9.73 for fifteen. That is the same car park in the same week of checking. It is why a nightly rate quoted without a length of stay attached to it tells you very little.
Is meet and greet worth it at London Luton Airport?
Meet and greet means a driver takes the car from you at the terminal and it is waiting when you land. At London Luton the cheapest was £112.14 for eight nights against £100.97 for the cheapest option overall, so you are paying about £11.17 to skip the shuttle in both directions.
With a car seat, two suitcases and a 6am flight, that is money most parents would spend twice. Travelling alone with hand luggage, the shuttle takes a few minutes and the money is better spent at the other end.
What is the difference between park and ride, on-airport and meet and greet?
Park and ride is an off-airport car park a few minutes away with a shuttle bus to the terminal. At London Luton the cheapest was £100.97 for eight nights.
Meet and greet means handing the keys over at the terminal. At London Luton that was £112.14.
