Dunstable has an unusual distinction: it is one of the largest towns in England with no railway station, sitting about seven miles from Luton Airport. That makes pre-booked road transport the default here, not the backup. Our Dunstable airport transfers cover Luton, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted with fixed fares confirmed when you book and drivers who know every rat-run between the A5 and the M1.
Dunstable sits on the old Roman road, Watling Street, now the A5, with the M1 junctions 11 and 11a on its doorstep. The nearest stations are Leagrave and Luton, both needing a bus or car to reach, which is why most Dunstable travellers never bother with the train to the airport at all.
Local landmarks shape our work: the chalk hills of Dunstable Downs above the town, Whipsnade Zoo a few miles south drawing family visitors, and the medieval Priory Church in the town centre. We collect from homes, hotels and the business parks along the A5 regularly.
The Downs themselves are worth knowing about if you are visiting: the chalk escarpment is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, popular with walkers, kite flyers and gliders from the London Gliding Club. If you are staying up there, give us the exact meeting point at booking, as the car park and the visitor centre are some distance apart.
We also collect from Houghton Regis, Toddington, Kensworth, Caddington, Studham and Eaton Bray.
We quote every journey individually, so your fare is fixed and confirmed when you book. It depends on your exact pickup point, destination terminal and vehicle. Enter your details for an instant quote, or call +44 1582 297190.
Luton is Dunstable's airport in every practical sense: about seven miles via the A505 or local roads, 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. It is close enough that some travellers consider driving themselves, but then there is the airport's paid express drop-off zone, enforced by cameras with per-minute overstay charges, plus parking for the trip.
A pre-booked car removes both. Your driver handles the forecourt, the charges sit inside your fixed fare, and on your return the car is waiting when you land.
Heathrow is about 30 miles via the M1 south, M25 and M4 spur, usually 50 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. The M25 section needs the usual respect at rush hour.
Gatwick is the longer M25 run, around 60 miles and 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours. Stansted goes the other way, up the M1 and across on the A14 and M11.
For all three, the train alternative from Dunstable means getting to Leagrave or Luton station first, which rather defeats the purpose. The door-to-door car wins on simplicity every time.
Business travellers use this route heavily too. Dunstable's position between the M1 and the A5 puts it within easy reach of the business parks along both corridors, and we regularly run early pickups for Heathrow departures and late returns from Luton. Give us a meeting time or flight number and the schedule is built around it.
