Across Luton and to the airport
Luton is a large Bedfordshire town, best known for London Luton Airport on its eastern edge. Luton station and Luton Airport Parkway both have Thameslink trains, and the University of Bedfordshire has its main campus in the town centre. Kenilworth Road is home to Luton Town FC, and Wardown Park offers green space a short walk from the middle of town. We collect from homes, hotels and both stations.
Luton Airport is only about six minutes from the town centre on clear roads. Heathrow is around 33 minutes down the M1 and M25, Stansted roughly 1h 03m and Gatwick about 1h 09m. Every arriving flight we cover is tracked, so a delay never costs extra.
Many Luton customers book us for journeys into Hertfordshire, with Welwyn Garden City about 20 minutes away and Hatfield around 21 minutes on clear roads. For London by road, King's Cross is about 44 minutes on clear days.
