The driver goes north through Bloomsbury and Camden Town to the Finchley Road and joins the M1 for the run to junction 10.
By rail it is the Elizabeth line to Farringdon, Thameslink to Luton Airport Parkway and the DART to the terminal.
By public transport: Elizabeth line to Farringdon, Thameslink to Luton Airport Parkway, then the DART, about 60–80 min. The catch is three legs with a change at Farringdon. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 55 min, or 85 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
Out of Covent Garden (WC2) the route runs north through Bloomsbury and Camden to the Finchley Road and the M1. Coming back from Luton the driver follows the M1 and Finchley Road, then Camden and Bloomsbury back to WC2. That is about 33 miles: reckon 55 min off-peak and 85 min when Camden Town and the Finchley Road is busy.
Luton has one terminal. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, so there is no DART shuttle or bus to work out.
The driver meets you inside arrivals, so there is no DART or bus. You are dropped as close to your door as the streets allow.
Camden Town and the Finchley Road are busy at rush hour. For flights with extra security checks, allow around three hours at Luton.
Check-in guide for Luton Airport: two hours for most flights, longer for routes with extra security checks. Add 55 to 85 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Covent Garden is London's theatre and market quarter, from the Piazza and the Royal Opera House to Seven Dials, Long Acre and the Strand. It has a mix of hotels, serviced apartments and small flats above shops.
The Piazza and many surrounding streets are pedestrianised or have restricted access. We agree a pickup point on a street the car can reach, such as the Strand, Long Acre or Shaftesbury Avenue, and the driver meets you there.
We also cover nearby Soho, Holborn, Strand, Leicester Square, Bloomsbury, Aldwych, Charing Cross and Temple.
Local tip: For one traveller, Thameslink from Farringdon is a good option. For two or more with luggage, the fixed car fare is often similar and door to door.
