How Luton Airport to London Taxi Transfer Services Work
When you touch down at Luton Airport and exit the arrivals lounge, the best Luton Airport taxi services will ask you to walk to the pick and drop area and contact the driver who will come to collect you or have a chauffeur ready and waiting at the arrivals lounge for you. Your driver will take you straight to your chosen car then drive you to your London hotel or event whilst you relax and enjoy all the sights.
Traveling in peace and comfort via a reliable Luton Airport taxi is how Londoners travel. It’s quick, easy, and simple. The last thing you want to be met with when you arrive at Luton Airport is crowds of people, delayed transport, expensive prices, and a confusing, elongated journey to your hotel.
London is not a city that people drive around. The government makes it as hard as possible for people to drive through the city so there’s the London Congestion Charge, pedestrianized areas, no parking, one-way systems everywhere, and lots of ways to accrue fines.
Our iconic black taxis are extremely expensive so they’re more of a tourist attraction than a mode of transport. You don’t see many around these days because they are so expensive plus you have the hassle of having to wait around for one to arrive,
With a good private taxi service, you can book your journey to and from Luton Airport online or you can choose to call if you want to speak to someone first. The service should be available all day and night on every day of the year. The taxi service you choose should also be approved by TFL.
The best Luton Airport taxis will have a chauffeur greet you as you leave the arrivals lounge. Your driver will be holding up a sign so you can see who they are. Your chauffeur will lead you out of the terminal and straight to your chosen car.
Top taxi services will let you choose your car online whilst you book and you should have a good choice of premium cars for your journeys such as executive cars, saloon cars, MPVs, and 8-seater shuttles.
How much does a taxi from Luton Airport to London cost?
The best Luton Airport taxis provide great value. The cost of your journey from Luton Airport to London should include everything. Check the costs for your taxi service cover:
• waiting time to account for delays as you pass through arrivals.
• flight delay tracking so your driver has real-time updates about when your flight will land.
• meet and greet from your chauffeur at your terminal as you exit arrivals.
You should also be able to book your return journey at the same time. Although good services do request that you book in advance, it’s best to book your taxi transfer in advance because taxis to and from London do get very busy as they are the preferred way to travel.
When you do the journey back to the airport at the end of your stay, your driver will drop you straight to the terminal where you’ll find trollies by your drop-off and your check-in minutes away.
During your stay, a good taxi service will be able to continue to provide transportation for other journeys you wish to make as well as sightseeing tours. This can be handy because London’s public transport system is extremely busy and not everyone wants to endure the stairs, crowds, and heat!

• London Seaports: Southampton Cruise Terminals, Dover Port Cruise terminal, Harwich Port Cruise Terminals.
• London Mainline Railway Stations: Kings Cross Station, St. Pancras Station, Victoria Station, Paddington Station, Charing Cross Station and more.
