Stevenage was the first post-war New Town, and it still shows the plan: neighbourhoods around a pedestrianised town centre, the Old Town's coaching inns surviving along the High Street, and Fairlands Valley Park's lakes to the south. GSK's research campus and the business parks bring steady corporate traffic.

Stevenage station sits on the East Coast Main Line with fast trains to London King's Cross run by Great Northern, Thameslink and LNER. The A1(M) passes the town's eastern edge at Junctions 7 and 8. The station is superb for London and the north; for airports the story is mixed, as the comparisons below show.

We also collect from Letchworth Garden City, Hitchin, Baldock, Welwyn Garden City, Knebworth and Hertford.

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 Airport is the closest: about 14 to 18 miles via the A1(M) to Junction 8 then the A505 through Hitchin, roughly 25 to 40 minutes. Stansted goes east on the A602, A10 and A120, about 30 miles and 40 to 55 minutes. Heathrow runs south on the A1(M) and around the M25, about 50 to 70 minutes. Gatwick is the long run at 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 40.

Your fixed fare includes each airport's drop-off charge, including Luton's paid drop-off zone: £10 at Stansted's Express Set Down, £7 at Heathrow, £10 at Gatwick (checked 2026-10-16). For arrivals your driver meets you inside the terminal (meet and greet on request; ask when booking) with 45 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands (airport pickups only; £10 per 30 minutes after that) and pickup adjustments if your flight is delayed (tell the office so we can change the booking).

For Luton Airport the train is a genuine alternative in daylight hours: Great Northern or Thameslink toward London, a change, and the DART shuttle from Luton Airport Parkway. For a solo traveller with a cabin bag it works. For Stansted there is no direct train at all, so the railway means changing at Cambridge or going via London: a two-hour expedition for a 45-minute drive.

Heathrow and Gatwick from Stevenage mean King's Cross then the Tube or Elizabeth line across London. A pre-booked taxi does every one of these airports door to door in a single movement, at any hour, with one fixed fare for the whole car. For two or more people the car usually beats the combined train fares as well.

At a glance, here is how the three options compare for this journey:

The saloon (4 passengers, 2 standard cases, 2 cabin bags), best for couples and solo travellers with standard luggage, suits most airport runs. The people carrier (6 passengers, 3 cases), best for families with children and extra luggage, takes families. The 8-seater mini van (Mercedes V-Class or similar), best for groups of 6-8, sports teams and wedding parties, moves groups in one vehicle. First Class (Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series) is best for business travel and special occasions. Child seats are free if requested when booking; availability cannot be guaranteed.

We also run station pickups from Stevenage station, hotel transfers and local journeys across SG1 and SG2. The dedicated Stevenage to Stansted taxi covers that run, and Welwyn Garden City airport transfers cover the town just south.
