Luton airport taxi and Luton airport transfers

Fixed-fare taxis for London Luton Airport

London Luton Airport (LTN) is in Bedfordshire, beside junction 10 of the M1, and is a base for easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair and TUI. Flights leave from early morning, when buses are few and the Luton Airport DART shuttle has only just started. A pre-booked Luton airport taxi gets you there on time with the fare fixed before you travel.

Where to meet your driver at Luton

Luton has a single terminal, which keeps arrivals simple. After baggage reclaim, come out into the arrivals area where your driver waits with your name. The pickup area is in the short-stay car park opposite the terminal, a two-minute walk with luggage. Departures use the drop-off zone outside the terminal; any charge for using it is shown in your quote.

Vehicles for Luton flights

Most holiday groups flying from Luton travel light, but ski trips and family breaks need more room. Choose a saloon for three passengers, an estate for extra suitcases, an MPV for up to six travellers, or a minibus for eight. Golf bags, bikes in boxes and ski bags can be carried in the larger cars when noted at booking.

Why book ahead instead of using the rank?

The taxi rank at Luton can have long queues after several flights land together, and prices run on the meter. With UK Airport Cabs the price, car and driver are confirmed in advance, your flight is tracked, and you have 60 minutes of free waiting from landing. Corporate customers can book on account and receive monthly invoices.

Luton airport hotels and overnight stays

Business travel from Luton

Luton serves a large number of business jets through the Harrods Aviation and Signature terminals, as well as scheduled flights to European cities. Executive cars meet private jet passengers airside or at the FBO entrance, and corporate accounts receive a single monthly statement for staff journeys.

Luton taxi fares

The price depends on how far you are going, how many passengers you have and the vehicle you need. A short trip to Dunstable or Harpenden costs far less than a run into central London or across to Cambridge, while night journeys and minibuses are priced higher. Whatever the journey, the fare is confirmed before you pay.

Coach, train or taxi?

The Thameslink train from Luton Airport Parkway is quick into St Pancras, but it involves the DART shuttle and luggage on busy carriages. Coaches take longer in traffic. A door-to-door Luton airport cab is usually the easiest choice for families, groups with bags and anyone arriving late at night when public transport is limited.
