Visiting family in the EU?
Luton’s Wizz Air and easyJet networks make it the visiting-family airport for much of the region. Those flights often leave early, and the trip matters — so reliability counts more than anything. We know the EU routes and the pre-dawn departure times, the driver turns up for the 4am pickup, and there’s 60 minutes free waiting on the way back if the inbound runs late. No surge, whatever the hour.
Travelling with children?
- Free child seats for ages 1–12 — no extra charge, just tell us the ages at booking
- Luggage space for holiday packing, prams and strollers
- Group discounts for multiple children and parents in one vehicle
- No split cars — an MPV or 8-seater keeps the whole family together
