How much does a taxi from Luton Airport to central London cost?

It depends on your exact address and the car you choose, but the price is fixed when you book. Central London is about 35 miles away, so a fixed fare protects you when the M1 is slow.

How long does the transfer from Luton to central London take?

Usually 60 to 90 minutes. Early mornings are closer to an hour; Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings can take longer.

Will my driver wait if my flight is delayed?

Yes. We track your flight and move the pickup to your actual landing time, at no extra cost. The first 60 minutes after landing are included.

Where do I meet my driver at Luton Airport?

In the arrivals hall of Luton's single terminal, straight after baggage reclaim. Your driver holds a sign with your name.

Yes. CabRide runs around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays, and early-morning Luton pickups are a normal part of our day.

24/7 Taxi Service

Plenty of Luton flights leave before 7 a.m. or land near midnight. We plan drivers for those hours every day of the year, so an early departure is as easy to book as any other.

Meet and Greet

Luton has a single terminal, so there's only one place to look. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, right after baggage reclaim.

Door-to-Door Service

Skip the DART shuttle and the train change at Luton Airport Parkway. We drive you from the terminal straight to your door in London, Hertfordshire or further afield.

Flight Tracking

Add your flight number and we follow it live. Land early or late and the pickup moves with you, and the first 60 minutes of waiting are free.

About Luton Airport

London Luton Airport (LTN) sits in Bedfordshire beside junction 10 of the M1, about 35 miles north-west of central London. Around 16 million passengers a year use its single terminal, mostly on easyJet, Wizz Air and Ryanair flights, so getting in and out is quick.

Private Taxi Pickup and Drop-Off Points

Arriving? After baggage reclaim, walk into the arrivals hall, where your driver is waiting with a name board. We send the exact spot and their number 24 hours before. Leaving? We stop as close to the terminal entrance as Luton's drop-off rules allow, and any drop-off charge is already in your fare.

Travel Time From Luton Airport to Central London

Allow 60 to 90 minutes into central London, usually via the M1 and the North Circular, or the A1(M) when the M1 is busy. Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings are the slowest. Going elsewhere? Milton Keynes is about 35 minutes away and Cambridge about an hour, and every route has a fixed fare.
