How your Luton transfer works

  1. Quote and lock your price: enter your postcode and party size. The fixed fare you see is the fare you pay, agreed before you travel.
  2. We track your flight: give us your flight number and we watch the inbound to Luton, so if you land early or late your driver adjusts to the new time.
  3. Your driver is there: for pickups your driver meets you at Luton once you are through arrivals, so you walk straight to the car.
  4. One fare, paid your way: pay by card when you book or settle with the driver, and quote a return to price both legs at the fixed rate.

The journey

Your route to Luton

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.

A127M25M1A1081

Your driver knows the road and tracks your flight, and the fixed fare does not change no matter what the M25 is doing.

Terminals

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.

Parking vs a taxi

Drive and park

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Plus the drive there, the petrol, and finding a space.

For more than a quick 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 return with Value Cars is one set price, door to door, with no parking to find or pay for. 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.

Arrived exactly on time for our airport transfer to Gatwick and the driver helped with all the suitcases. Much cheaper than Uber, and a comfortable car. I'd definitely recommend.

Basildon to Gatwick

We used Value Cars to Heathrow and back. The communication was superb and our driver Mark was friendly and professional on both the pick-up and drop-off. Highly recommended.
