What a Luton taxi actually costs, what drives the price, and how a fixed fare compares with the train — a plain-English guide.
What affects the price
Three things move a Luton taxi price: distance, vehicle size and time-sensitivity. Dunstable and Houghton Regis are minutes away; St Albans is ~12 miles; central London ~35 miles down the M1. You pay for the vehicle, not the seat — a saloon for 1–4, an MPV for 5–6, an 8-seater or minibus above that. With a fixed fare, the time of day and the traffic don't change what you pay.

Fixed fare vs the train
The Thameslink/EMR train is quick to St Pancras, but it means the Parkway shuttle, a change, and onward travel with luggage — and it's per person. A fixed-fare car is door to door and the price is set before you travel — easiest with a group, bags or an awkward hour.
