Is the Luton drop-off charge included?

Yes. Luton Airport charges £9 for up to 12 minutes, then £1 a minute to a 30 minute maximum at the terminal drop-off zone and our fixed fares already include it, so there is nothing extra to pay the driver.

Where will the driver meet me at Luton for the journey back to Bedford?

Your driver waits in the Pick Up Zone or Terminal Car Park 1 and meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board. The Pick Up Zone is a five-minute walk from the terminal through a covered tunnel. Pickups from the airport are £15 more than drop-offs because the price includes the car park: at Luton, Terminal Car Park 1 costs £15 for up to 30 minutes and £21.50 for up to an hour. The driver tracks your flight, so a delay does not cost you anything.
