Getting to and from Luton

Luton is about 34 miles north of central London in Bedfordshire, just off junction 10 of the M1. It has one passenger terminal, so there is one arrivals hall and one meeting point to find.

The route into London runs down the M1 and then either the A5 or the A41 towards the north-west of the city, or around the M25 for destinations further east. It is a straightforward drive outside the peaks. The M1 southbound in the morning and northbound in the evening is the part worth allowing extra time for, which is reflected in the peak figures below.

Luton's terminal has been substantially rebuilt in recent years and its road layout has changed with it, including where vehicles are allowed to stop. Your driver deals with that: they park, come into the arrivals hall and meet you there, rather than asking you to find a particular pickup bay with your luggage.

Where to meet your driver at Luton

Your driver meets you at the terminal with a name board and helps with your luggage to the vehicle. There is no pickup bay to find and no car park to walk to.

  • Main terminal

    easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair and others

    Arrivals hall, past the customs exit and by the main concourse.

No card fees, and the price never rises with demand.

Luton transfer questions

Where will my driver meet me at Luton?

Inside the arrivals hall, past the customs exit, with a name board. Luton's forecourt and drop-off arrangements have changed as the terminal has been rebuilt, so rather than asking you to find a particular bay, your driver parks and comes in to meet you.

How long does it take to get from Luton into central London?

Around an hour off-peak, and up to an hour and forty minutes at the worst times. Almost all the variation is the M1 and the approach through north-west London. Each destination in the table above carries its own peak and off-peak range rather than a single average.

Is Luton drop-off charged, and is it in my fare?

Luton charges vehicles that use the terminal drop-off area, and that charge is included in what we quote you, as is parking while your driver waits for an arriving flight. You are not asked for anything extra at the airport.

Can you collect from Luton for an early-morning flight?

Yes. Luton has a heavy early-departure schedule and pickups before dawn are routine. Book the time you need; if you would rather work back from your check-in, call the office and we will help you pick a sensible pickup time for the day you are travelling.
