looking for a good deal on hotel and parking at Luton

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

We are flying from Luton in September and I need overnight accommodation and 15 days parking, I don't seem to be able to find anything under £120, most of the ones closer to the airport and/or offering 24 hour shuttle service (our check in is 02:30) are £140 plus. Is Luton typically more expensive? I can find plenty of Gatwick (where we normally fly from) sub £100 for same package. Anyways maybe I'm using the wrong websites, we are looking at check in on the 17th September and collecting the car 2nd October, if possible I would rather make a booking that takes card details but allows us to pay when we get there rather than upfront.
I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world

    Essential travel do a price guarantee for both Hotel + Parking so see if you can get them from free.

    Look at ParkatMayhouse for cheaper parking

    Cheers, looked at Essential Travel, comming up with the same prices as I've had elsewhere, I guess I'll just have to accept that Hotels with parking at Luton are more expensive.

    I did post in the dedicated Luton Parking thread about a month ago and got no response.

    Its maybe not your thing, but when we've got an early Luton flight we stay at one of the travelodges nearby and then drive the car down to one of the car park/shuttle transfer options (have used central car storage and airportcarparkz recently with no problems). Both are less than 5 minutes drive away from the airport (central car storage is, in my opinion, slightly easier to get to).
