Taxis in Welwyn
From the old village high street to Luton Airport in about 16 minutes on clear roads, with the price fixed before you set off.
We accept all major cards and digital payment methods.
The old village and beyond
Welwyn village is the older neighbour of the garden city, with a historic high street, the River Mimram running past and the A1(M) skirting its edge. Under the motorway lie the remains of a Roman bath house, a reminder of how long people have travelled this way. We collect from cottages near the church, newer homes on the outskirts and the pubs and restaurants in the village, and Welwyn North station is just a short hop away.
Being right by the A1(M) helps on airport days. Luton Airport is roughly 16 minutes on clear roads, Heathrow around 33 minutes, Stansted near 50 minutes and Gatwick about 1h 09m. When we collect you from arrivals, your flight is tracked, so an early or late landing is no problem.
Plenty of Welwyn customers use us for an evening meal in the village and a safe ride home afterwards. For London, King's Cross is about 38 minutes by car on clear roads, which suits early starts before the first trains.
