Reviews

We have used Short Run and its predecessors for many years and have always found them efficient, friendly and excellent value for money. The present organisation maintains the excellent service.

As usual, a friendly and efficient service provided. There was some slight confusion about the collection zone due to the construction work at Luton Airport and the constant changes of pick-up location which Airparks have to contend with. Given that this is an ongoing challenge for Airparks (and all car parking operators) and outside their control, I have given 5 stars as their operation and customer relations remains at a high standard.

Airparks Short Run's buses run frequently so waiting times are short. Staff are friendly and efficient. Being only 5 mins from the airport is a bonus.

It is located quite far from the airport and difficult to locate. My satnav took me to some sort of building site and when asking local people, noone knew where it could be on that road. No signs until you are actually outside of the car park. On the return I had to wait for a long time as the driver has just left and was told by the operator that the alternative is for me to get a taxi to come to them! The car was also parked so close to other cars that I was not able to open my boot or side passengers door. Pretty bad and unpleasant experience.

Easy and straightforward booking. Had a little trouble trying to find the car park but we managed to eventually find it. Checking in was quick and simple and the shuttle ride was less than 5 minutes to and from the airport (very early morning). On return, quick checkout. Great efficient service. Would definitely use again.

far better than last time when I was given the wrong number to call on my return, leaving me stranded at the airport at 11.15p.m. The number I was given left an answer phone message stating that the office closed at 11.00p.m. However this time there were no problems and the staff were particularly helpful and polite.

Take a right opposite Hayward Tyler onto the service road.
ShortRun (Central Car Storage) will be on your left.

On arrival:
When you get to the car park, park in front of the check-in building. It's on the right, inside the main gates. Offload your bags and head to the check-in building. There, you'll be met by one of the car park's friendly staff who'll take your keys and check you in. Make sure you have your booking confirmation with you. You'll be given a ticket that'll you'll need to keep with you for your return, and the staff will park your car for you. Then, just hop on the transfer bus to the airport and you'll be there in 5 minutes.

On return:
Once you have collected your luggage, call the car park on the number on your confirmation 9 to arrange for the transfer bus to collect you. You'll then need to leave the terminal, follow signs for the drop zone and look out for a black Mercedes sprinter (this will be your shuttle bus). Get the bus back to the car park and when you get back, just head to reception to hand in your ticket, collect your keys and pick up your car.

If you lose your ticket, you'll need to answer some security questions and show photo ID, so make sure you have one with you.

If you return early, you will need to contact the car park directly to give them as much notice as possible. If you don't, there may be a delay before you get your car back. You can't get a refund for any booked parking that you don't use.

If you have sports equipment or lots of luggage, you may need to wait for a bus with more space during busy times, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to get to the airport.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Due to the ongoing redevelopment works at Luton Airport, your transfers to and from the airport may take longer than normal. We recommend you allow at least an extra hour for your transfer to the Airport particularly at peak times.
The peak travel times for Luton airport are all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday and between 0400 and 0900, 1300 and 1500 and 1700 and 1900 on other days.
