“Umar was a responsible and safe driver, communication was great throughout, and when my son left his toy penguin in the car after a very late pick up, Umar returned it the very next day. So professional and efficient — I would absolutely use them again.”

Why a fixed-price car beats the train from Letchworth

Letchworth Garden City station is on the Cambridge line, served by Thameslink and Great Northern trains, which joins the East Coast Main Line at Hitchin on the way towards London. Luton Airport Parkway is on the Midland Main Line, so there is no direct train: the usual itinerary is Thameslink to London St Pancras International, a change to a northbound Thameslink train to Luton Airport Parkway, then the DART shuttle to the terminal. Trainline lists no direct trains, one change, and fastest journeys of about 1 hour 16 minutes to Luton Airport Parkway, before the DART; typical journeys take longer (checked 6 September 2026). By road it is about 14 miles.

By car it is one of the shortest airport runs in Hertfordshire. The usual route is the A505 through Hitchin and on to the Luton Airport approach. The driver checks live traffic before setting off and picks an alternative if the A505 is slow.

The fare is fixed before you book and includes the £7 Luton Airport drop-off charge. Shared between two or more passengers, £45 door to terminal is usually cheaper than the rail tickets, the DART and a cab to the station.

Local knowledge of SG6 and the Hitchin approach

Our drivers know the Letchworth grid, the Hitchin bypass and the airport approach roads. Early flights are the norm at Luton, so we plan pickups around check-in deadlines rather than round numbers.

  • The A505 Run: We leave Letchworth on the A505, pass Hitchin and continue on the A505 towards Luton before joining the airport approach. It is about 14 miles.
  • Return Flight Check: Give us the flight number and we check official airport arrival information when planning the pickup. Waiting beyond the included allowance may be charged under our terms.
  • Terminal Drop-off: We use the terminal drop-off zone. The £7 Luton Airport drop-off charge is included in the fixed fare.
  • SG6 Coverage: We collect from the whole of Letchworth Garden City, including Jackmans, Lordship, The Grange, Norton and Wilbury, plus the Baldock and Hitchin borders.
  • Booking Help: Online bookings need at least three hours' notice. Call 01923 88 2220 if you need to travel sooner.
