Luton Airport Pickup and Drop Off Information

The Luton Airport taxi drop off and pickup rules are stricter than most UK airports. Here is what you need to know before you travel.

Dropping off at Luton Airport

The Express Drop Off and Pick Up Zone sits closest to the terminal. It costs £7 for the first 10 minutes, then £1 for each additional minute up to a 30-minute maximum.
The zone is barrier-less and uses ANPR cameras. Payment is made online at lla.info by midnight the following day. Missing that deadline or overstaying triggers a £95 Parking Charge Notice (reduced to £55 if paid within 14 days).
Every Fastlane Transfers fixed price includes the £7 Express Drop Off charge. Your driver handles the online payment. You never see a bill and never receive a PCN.

Free drop off at Luton Airport

Prefer to skip the fee altogether? The Long Stay Car Park allows free parking for up to 2 hours, with a shuttle bus to the terminal every 20 minutes. The shuttle takes around 10 minutes.

Luton Airport taxi rank

The Luton Airport taxi rank sits alongside the terminal at the ground transport hub. Rank taxis are operated by local Luton PHV licence holders and priced by the meter, not by fixed fare.
Pre-booked passengers do not use the rank. Your Fastlane Transfers driver meets you at Terminal Car Park 2 instead.

For a standard pickup, walk out of the arrivals hall and turn left. Follow the ground-level path past the coach bays, taxi rank and car park lifts. Continue straight for around 3 minutes.
You will reach the pickup and drop off point on the ground floor of Terminal Car Park 2. Your driver is parked in a marked bay, holding a placard with your booking name.

Meet and greet inside the terminal

Meet and greet is a paid add-on shown clearly in the quote before you confirm.

Travelling with a baby or young children

One baby seat is fitted free with every booking. Boosters and child seats are available on request at no extra charge. For a full breakdown of the child seat options and how to add them at booking, see the Luton Airport taxi with baby seat page.
