Because Luton has only one terminal, the meeting point never changes: the arrivals hall on the ground floor. Early or late, the pick-up follows your actual landing.
Many passports, EU, US and Australian among them, can use the eGates; under-10s go to a staffed desk.
No hold luggage? You skip this step entirely.
There is just one arrivals hall at Luton; the driver is there holding your name.
The car is parked a short walk from the terminal doors.
The voucher includes a phone number answered day and night; WhatsApp +34 654 381 547 works too.
On those two days St Peter's Street fills with stalls and traffic is diverted. If your hotel is central, give us its exact name and the driver will use whichever access is open.
St Albans is so close to the airport that many travellers stay here rather than in London, then go into the capital later. A private car gets you from the arrivals hall to a hotel on Fishpool Street before most people have found their train ticket.
| Activity | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Wednesday and Saturday market | More than 150 stalls along St Peter's Street. |
| Ye Olde Fighting Cocks | A pub that claims to be among England's oldest. |
| Verulamium Park walk | Lake, sections of Roman wall and plenty of ducks. |
| Holywell Hill | Independent shops and cafés. |
