Luton is around 57 miles from our Basildon base, roughly 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes by car, depending on the M25. The way in is the A127 onto the M25, round to the M1 at Junction 21, then up the M1 to Junction 10 and the A1081 Airport Way into Luton, and if the M25 is heavy, your driver will pick the best way round on the day. Your driver knows the road, and because the fare is agreed before you travel it does not change if the traffic does.

All of them: One terminal. Luton runs on a single passenger terminal, so there is just one set of doors to find. A second terminal is only a future plan, not open yet. Tell us your airline when you book and your driver takes you to the right door.

For anything longer than a short trip, usually. Luton does not publish a fixed weekly price. At the on-the-day Long Stay rate of £35 a day, a week left on the gate would be around £245, but booking ahead is usually a lot cheaper. The closest parking by the terminal (Terminal Car Park 1) is up to about £75 a day if you pay on the day. A fixed Value Cars return from Basildon is £220.50 for the car, door to door, with no parking to find and nothing to pay at the airport. Luton's parking prices vary with your dates and are much cheaper booked ahead, so check london-luton.co.uk for your dates.

Luton charges £7 to pull into the Drop Off and Pick Up Zone right by the terminal, which covers up to 10 minutes, then £1 a minute after that with a 30-minute limit. That charge is set by Luton, not by us. There is also a free option: the Long Stay car park is free for up to 2 hours with a free shuttle bus to the terminal. With a booked car you are taken to the terminal and there is nothing for you to pay at the airport.

Yes. Value Cars run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which covers the pre-dawn check-ins that most Luton departures want, plus bank holidays and Christmas. Pre-book the night before and the car is outside when you need it.

We track it. Give us the flight number when you book the return and your driver works to the time the aircraft actually lands, not the time on the ticket. The return fare includes an hour from landing, which covers passport control and the baggage belt.

At the designated pick-up point for your terminal. We take your flight number when you book the return and track the inbound, so your driver is in position for the time you actually land rather than the time on the ticket.

Airport collections include a full hour from the time your flight lands, which is there to absorb passport control, the baggage belt and a slow walk out. After that hour, standard waiting charges apply at £20 an hour for a car or £30 an hour for a minibus, charged pro rata. Because we track the flight, a delayed landing simply moves the clock, it does not eat into your hour.

A saloon or estate takes up to four passengers with up to four cases. A six-seater or minibus takes up to eight passengers with up to eight cases. More than four cases moves you to the larger vehicle even with a small party, because they will not fit in a saloon. Pick your numbers when you quote and the price updates.

Yes. You can pay securely by card when you book online, or settle with the driver. Either way the amount is the fixed price you agreed, and every car carries a card reader.
