For many Edgware travellers, Luton is the closest airport by road. An Edgware to Luton Airport taxi usually joins the M1 at Junction 4, a few minutes from Edgware, and stays on it most of the way. That makes Luton a popular choice for budget flights, and a short, fairly predictable trip by minicab.
We are a cab facilitator. We put you in touch with licensed local minicab and taxi companies, who give you a fixed price quote before you book. Book online with the form on this page, call 02037405080 or message us on WhatsApp.
Route and typical journey time
From Edgware the driver heads up the A41 to the M1, then north to the Luton Airport junction. From Borehamwood or Elstree, the route is much the same. Because it is mostly motorway, the trip is usually quicker than the cross-London airports.
| Typical distance | About 22 to 25 miles |
|---|---|
| Typical journey time | 30 to 45 minutes |
| Main roads | A41 and M1 |
| Terminal | One passenger terminal |
| Booking | Online, by phone or WhatsApp, 24/7 |
Journey times are typical only. Roadworks on the M1 can slow things down, so leave a little extra time for an early morning departure.
Early flights from Luton
Many low-cost flights leave Luton very early in the morning. Trains and buses do not always run at those hours, and a taxi is often the only practical way to get there on time. We take pre-bookings 24/7, so a 3am pick-up is easy to arrange. We recommend you book at least the day before for early starts.
Luton by train or by cab?
We will be honest: if you live near Mill Hill Broadway, Hendon or Elstree and Borehamwood stations, there are direct Thameslink trains to Luton Airport Parkway, followed by a shuttle to the terminal. For a solo traveller with a small bag, that can be the cheapest option. A cab makes more sense when you have heavy cases, small children, an early flight or a group who can share the cost. You can compare fixed price quotes online in a minute and decide.
Drop-off charges: Luton Airport charges vehicles for using the drop-off zone near the terminal. Ask whether your quote includes it.
Coming home from Luton
Book your Luton cab with your flight number and expected landing time. Your confirmation will explain the meeting point. When you have collected your bags, call or message the number you were given. If anything goes wrong, our phone line is open day and night.
Cars for every group
A saloon is fine for up to four people with standard luggage. Families and friends travelling together often book a 6 seater or 7 seater. If you are staying at a hotel near the airport the night before, our hotel transfer taxi page explains how to book that leg too.
