Old Street is the tech quarter’s front door — the reworked junction, co-working stacked on co-working, and City Road’s straight shot north. Luton is the short-haul hub of choice up the M1. £118 fixed for a saloon, 45–80 minutes by road via City Road to the A41/M1, free cancellation to 24 hours — and the price you confirm is the price you pay.

~26 miles by road via City Road to the A41/M1. The honest number is a range — about 45 minutes when the roads are empty, up to 80 in the peaks — and the pickup time we agree is built on the slow end, not the brochure end.
Work backwards from the flight: low-cost bag-drop is strict — often a hard 40-minute cutoff. Check your airline. Add the drive at 80 minutes plus a 15-minute buffer, and treat the result as a floor, not a dare — we sanity-check the pickup time against your flight when you confirm.
At the airport we drop at the Luton terminal (the DART shuttle links the station side).
Fixed means fixed: traffic, diversions and the driver’s route choice are our problem, not a surcharge. The figure you approved at booking is the figure you pay at the kerb.
The junction’s redesign moved every kerb. Name an arm — City Road east side, Old Street west, a specific building — and the driver stops where you are actually standing.
City Road to the A501 and out the A41 or A1 to the M1. Brent Cross crawls 16:30–18:30; earlier or later the run is clean, and the buffer for the ugly window is priced in.
Autumn brings batch flights to Berlin, Paris and Lisbon. Book the return leg with the outbound and it is 10% off — the small print founders actually like.
An 08:00 Berlin departure: 05:30 pickup on a City Road corner, M1 empty, Luton kerb about 06:20 — bag-drop, security, and a flat white before the gate.
From £118 for a saloon (up to 4 passengers), £147 for an MPV (up to 6) and £163 for an 8-seater (up to 7) — fixed before you book. 30% deposit secures it, balance on the day; returns booked together save 10%, and cancellation is free to 24 hours before pickup.
45–80 minutes by road depending on the hour, via City Road to the A41/M1. Work back from your airline cutoff — low-cost bag-drop is strict — often a hard 40-minute cutoff. Check your airline. Add the drive at the top of the range plus a 15-minute buffer, and treat the result as a floor, not a dare.
