The friendly customer service you would expect from Purple Parking with the bonus of being able to pick a parking space and keep your keys while you're away. Security measures Purple Parking Luton is protected by CCTV, entry and exit barriers, a fence and floodlighting, and is patrolled 24 hours a day. The car park 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.
Follow the yellow signs for Airparks Self Park, its entrance is approx 300 metres after the first blue Airparks entrance.
Drive up to the barrier, which will rise automatically. Keep to the left, driving into the car photo booth and pressing the button, so your car can be scanned and photographed for reference.
Remain in the car while one of the team checks you in and directs you to where you need to park. Make sure you keep a note of where you've parked for when you get back. You'll be given a ticket which you'll need to keep safe and you'll need to keep hold of your keys too.
Walk to the nearest bus stop to catch the shuttle bus to the terminal. It's included in the price and runs regularly, 24 hours a day. The journey takes around 14 minutes. Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under the 2.2m entry barrier and fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).
The shuttle bus can't accommodate large sporting equipment, so we'd recommend dropping any off with your passengers at the terminal first, then driving to the car park.
We recommend allowing 75 minutes to park and transfer to the airport - longer during the peak times between (4am and 8am).
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period until midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 per day. Please note this is subject to change.
