About Short Stay

Short Stay is located close to Luton railway station, making it a go-to option for rail commuters and travellers.

This is a surface car park, so expect open-air parking at ground level. This is a paid car park.

When to Visit

Station car parks fill up early on weekday mornings as commuters arrive for their trains. Spaces can be scarce by 8:30am, so arriving before 7:30am gives you the best chance. Weekends are a completely different story — demand drops off sharply, with Sunday typically the quietest. Given the limited number of spaces, it’s worth having a backup option in mind, especially on Mondays.
