Because there is no direct train, the simplest way to get from Cambridge to Luton Airport is a direct taxi.

Do you cover the Luton drop-off charge?
Yes. Luton charges a fee to enter the terminal forecourt, and that is already included in your fixed price. You never see it as an extra on the day.
Do you track my flight if I am flying back into Luton?
Yes. When you provide a flight number, we check official Luton arrival information when planning the pickup. The fare remains fixed, but waiting beyond the included allowance may be charged under our terms.
Where will I meet the driver at Luton Airport?
Your booking confirmation explains the Luton pickup meeting point. Add the flight number when booking so our team can check official arrival information, and contact dispatch if you need help after landing.
Can you take a group of 6 or 8 from Cambridge to Luton?
Yes. Alongside saloons we run MPVs and 8 seater minibuses, so a family or a group of colleagues can travel together with all their luggage in one vehicle.
Can you fit a lot of luggage, like an end of term student move?
Easily. Our MPVs and estates take several large suitcases plus boxes and hand luggage, which is exactly what you need for an end of term move that would never fit on a rail connection.
Do you cover all Cambridge postcodes and the Science Park?
Yes. We collect from every CB postcode including CB1 to CB5, the Science Park, Addenbrooke’s and the Biomedical Campus, the colleges, Chesterton, Cherry Hinton and nearby villages like Grantchester and Histon.
Do you run early morning Luton airport runs?
We operate 24 hours a day, every day. Luton has a lot of very early flights, so a pre-dawn pickup from Cambridge is routine for us, and we plan the timing around your check-in.
How far in advance should I book my Cambridge to Luton taxi?
Booking 24 to 48 hours ahead is ideal, especially for early flights and busy holiday periods. We do take same day bookings when we have a car free, but earlier is always safer for a guaranteed pickup time.
Is the price fixed even if there is traffic or roadworks?
Yes. Your fare is fixed when you book. If the A505 is busy the price does not change, the driver simply allows for it. The only thing that changes the price is if you change the route or the vehicle.
Can I pay by card, and do you take account bookings?
Yes. You can pay securely online or by card, and we set up business accounts for Cambridge companies, the Science Park and the Biomedical Campus that need regular, reliable airport runs.
Do you provide child seats for a Cambridge to Luton family trip?
Yes. Just tell us the ages when you book and we fit the right child or booster seats, so the whole family travels safely to the airport.
Do you also cover Cambridge to Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted?
We do. As well as Cambridge to Luton we run fixed-price transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. See our Cambridge airport taxi hub for every route and price.
