Luton Airport transfers, sorted
London Luton Airport is about 34 miles north of central London, close to junction 10 of the M1. It’s a busy base for easyJet, Wizz Air and other European airlines, and it handles plenty of private and business flights too. Getting there by public transport means a train to Luton Airport Parkway and then the shuttle up to the terminal – fine if you’re travelling light, less fun with a family and a week’s worth of luggage. A pre-booked ukairportscabs.com car takes you straight to the terminal door.
What you get with every Luton booking
We keep it simple. You get a fixed price for the whole vehicle when you book, and that’s what you pay. If you’re being picked up, we track your flight and your driver adjusts to the actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting included. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board, helps with your bags and takes you home. There’s nothing to work out on the day and no meter running in traffic on the M1.
Journey times to Luton Airport
From central London, allow around 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes outside the rush hour. From north-west London – Hendon, Edgware, Harrow – it’s usually 35 to 50 minutes. From St Albans, Hemel Hempstead or Watford it’s often under half an hour. Heading from east or south London? The route will depend on the time of day, and we’ll pick the quickest one on the night.
Luton’s terminal gets very busy during school holidays and early morning waves. Give yourself plenty of time for bag drop and security – two hours before a European flight is a sensible minimum.

Picking you up at Luton
Luton has one terminal. Your driver will wait for you in the arrivals area, holding a sign with your name on it. We send you their name and mobile number before you land so you can get in touch if you need a few more minutes. They’ll walk you to the car, which is parked a short distance away.
The right car for your trip
A saloon takes up to four people with two large cases; an estate takes the same number of people with more luggage. For families and groups, our MPVs seat six or eight. If you’re flying for business, you can choose an executive Mercedes. Check the fleet page for capacities, or just enter your passenger and luggage numbers in the quote form – we’ll only suggest vehicles that fit.
