Luton Airport Drop-Off Charge
London Luton went fully barrierless for drop-off in early 2025 — cameras read your plate as you enter the forecourt and you pay online afterwards. There's no pay-on-exit machine, so it's easy to leave without realising a charge is due.
The charge applies to every vehicle using the terminal drop-off area. Pay it late and it turns into a Parking Charge Notice.
