Introduction of Road Safety Enforcement

From 23rd August, an £80 penalty charge will be introduced at London Luton Airport for drivers who stop their vehicles to drop off or pick up passengers on the approach roads, roundabout, or bus lane leading up to the Airport terminal.

The penalty charge will be reduced to £40 if paid within 14 days. This charge will not benefit the Airport financially. It is intended to stop the current practice of drivers picking up or setting down passengers in unauthorised areas, which poses a risk both to the safety of passengers and that of other road users, as well as causing congestion and disruption to traffic. The penalty charge will be strictly enforced with mobile CCTV cameras. 

London Luton Airport would like to remind passengers to use the drop off and pick up facilities provided. For those wishing to drop-off immediately outside the terminal, the drop-off zone is conveniently located at a cost of £1 for 10 minutes. Alternatively one hour free parking is provided in the mid term car park for the purposes of drop off and pick up.  A free, five minute bus transfer from the mid term car park to the terminal operates every fifteen minutes.

In addition to London Luton's Long Term car park, the airport offers the following parking, drop off and pick up options which are also detailed on the map below;

1. Mid Term Car Park - FREE Drop Off, FREE Pick Up and FREE Parking for up to 60 minutes. 5 minute* FREE bus ride to the terminal.
2. Short Term Car Park -Drop Off, Pick Up and Parking £3.00 for 15 minutes, £4.50 for 30 minutes. FREE disabled parking for up to 60 minutes, 4 minute walk to the terminal.
