Event & venue transfers
Bexley to London Luton Airport runs to roughly 64.0 miles and 1h 35m off-peak. We quote £215 and that is the number you pay, whatever the traffic does.
A taxi from Bexley to London Luton Airport is £215 in a saloon, £270 in a 6-seat MPV and £300 in an 8-seater. It is about 64.0 miles and 1h 35m off-peak, or 2h 05m in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fixed fare |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases | from £215 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £270 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £300 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
Meet and greet in arrivals, or the mid-stay pickup area. Luton's drop-off arrangements change with the terminal works, so the driver confirms the exact point on the day. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: London Luton Airport, Bedfordshire, LU2 9LY.
Parking at London Luton Airport is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
The route from Bexley is not complicated. The timing of it is. The run is the A2 and Blackwall Tunnel to the A406 and M1, or the M25 anticlockwise from Junction 2 round to Junction 21, which is about 64.0 miles and 1h 35m on a clear road.
The part worth planning around is Blackwall northbound, or the Dartford Crossing on the orbital route. That is where 1h 35m turns into 2h 05m, and it is why we publish a peak number instead of pretending every hour looks alike.
The M25 route is the better night line, and the crossing charge is inside the fare either way.
Your driver watches the live picture and re-routes without being asked, and the fare does not move when they do.
We would rather set this out than pretend the train does not exist. From Bexley the public transport route is Southeastern to London Bridge, then Thameslink to Luton Airport Parkway and the DART, with one change, and it runs about 110 minutes station to terminal. The fare is about 22.00 pounds plus 4.90 on the DART.
The car is 1h 35m off-peak and 2h 05m at its worst, door to door, from anywhere in DA1, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA8, DA14, DA15. Add the connections and the platform walks and the car is ahead before comfort even enters it.
Two things the timetable will not tell you. The first train is 04:38 from London Bridge and the last is 23:45, which rules rail out for a large slice of what London Luton Airport actually flies - the early bank needs you airside before the network wakes up. The second is luggage: the rail route ends at Luton Airport Parkway and you still need the DART shuttle up to the terminal, which means two luggage transfers rather than one, and a further fare on top.
The money crosses over at three passengers. Below that rail wins; at three the Saloon works out near enough the same each. The Saloon is a fixed fare of £215, or about £72 each between three.
Dropping off is the easy half. Luton's set-down is in the multi-storey opposite the terminal, and the airport charges for it - that charge is inside your fixed fare. The walk to check-in is about four minutes on the level.
On the return the pickup is the short-stay multi-storey directly opposite the terminal, in the bays reserved for pre-booked cars. The exact bay and the registration reach you by text before you land, so there is no hunting along a rank and no call to a switchboard.
Sixty minutes of free waiting are included from touchdown, which Luton needs more than most airports because bag delivery here is not its strong point. You walk out to a car, which is the whole reason people book the return leg too.
We track the inbound flight number, so an early landing or a two-hour delay changes the driver's schedule and not your fare. Luton runs a heavy early-morning charter bank and arrivals stack up behind it, so we track the flight rather than the schedule.
We cover the whole of Bexley for this route: DA1, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA8, DA14, DA15. Homes, hotels, offices, hospitals and station forecourts all work as pickup points, and the fare from any of them is the one you were quoted.
Buildings with their own set-down are straightforward. Where there is not, the driver names a spot a few steps away that a car can legally stop in and messages you with it, rather than parking on a red route and hoping. It is a small thing, and it removes most of the stress from the first five minutes of a journey to London Luton Airport.
The three vehicle classes are not a sales ladder, they are three different amounts of boot. A Saloon at £215 takes four passengers and two large cases. An MPV at £270 takes six and four large cases. An eight-seater at £300 takes seven and seven large cases.
Seats are the easy number; luggage is the one that catches people. Four adults with four large cases are an MPV booking whatever the seat count says. Tell us the bag count and we size it properly rather than sending a car that cannot close.
Child seats and boosters are free but need naming in advance, with the child's age, because the seat has to be fitted before the car leaves. Skis, bikes, instruments and wheelchairs all travel if you say so at booking. Parties over seven go in several vehicles routed together, so everyone reaches the same kerb within a minute of each other.
The regulars on this run come from: Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup, the Crayford and Erith industrial estates, Bexleyheath's shopping centre and a heavy outbound holiday trade. The result is a route that never fully quietens, which is why we cover it around the clock.
If you are collected near Danson House, or anywhere else in DA1, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA8, DA14, DA15, it is the same fixed fare. There is no inner and outer rate here. London Borough of Bexley area, one price, quoted before you commit.
The cheapest seats leave early, which makes this a night-time route. A pre-dawn transfer behaves differently from the same trip at noon.
The roads are the easy part - The M25 route is the better night line, and the crossing charge is inside the fare either way. The building is the problem, not the route. Night entrances replace main doors, barriers that are open by day are down, and a driver who has not been told which side of the block you are on will circle.
So we ask for the door, not just the postcode. The side entrance, the service road, the one with the step - that goes to the driver with the job. They message rather than ring a bell at four in the morning, and the free waiting time runs from the booked hour, not from whenever they happen to arrive.
£215 in a saloon, £270 in a 6-seat MPV and £300 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 1h 35m off-peak. The rail alternative is Bexleyheath to Luton Airport Parkway plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Meet and greet in arrivals, or the mid-stay pickup area. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
A 6-seat MPV is £270 and an 8-seater £300. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
The driver waits. We watch venue finish times rather than working to a fixed clock, so a late curtain does not leave you stranded or cost you extra.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
A day ahead is plenty for a Saloon. Book earlier for an eight-seater or anything before 05:00, because those go first out of Bexley.
That is the off-peak figure for the 64.0-mile run and it holds outside the rush. In the peak the same road is 2h 05m, mostly because of Blackwall northbound, or the Dartford Crossing on the orbital route. We set the airport cutoff from the worse of the two, not the better one.
Nothing happens to the fare - it was fixed when you booked. If the road goes badly wrong the driver re-routes, and on an airport run we would rather you left Bexley half an hour early than argue about whose fault the A-road was. Give us the flight time and we set the pickup from it.
Card, bank transfer or cash, and nothing is added at the end. The £215 Saloon fare from Bexley covers the driver, the vehicle, tolls on the route, the airport drop-off charge, and the free waiting time. No meter, no booking fee at checkout, no surge at any hour.
Fares are fixed at booking and shown per vehicle. Distances and journey times are approximate and vary with traffic and the exact pickup address. Page reviewed 14 September 2026.
