Luton Airport to First Direct Arena Leeds taxi and First Direct Arena Leeds to Luton Airport after the event, fixed fare from £387 each way

Luton Airport to First Direct Arena Leeds and back: fixed fares

The Luton Airport to First Direct Arena Leeds journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Luton Airport to First Direct Arena Leeds is a fixed fare from £387 each way, about 163 miles and 3.8-5.4 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £697, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after arena concerts. An 8-seater for a group is from £561, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls and any London charges where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price after the last encore.

Pick-up in Luton Airport, drop-off at First Direct Arena Leeds

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Luton Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to First Direct Arena Leeds without a queue for the rank. At First Direct Arena Leeds we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for arena concerts when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 163 miles; the driver checks closures and event-day traffic orders and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.

First Direct Arena Leeds to Luton Airport: the journey home

First Direct Arena Leeds to Luton Airport is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of arena concerts, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at First Direct Arena Leeds

For arena concerts we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Luton Airport for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
