XLNC Cars runs private transfers between Esher and the villages around it — Claygate, Thames Ditton and Cobham and Luton Airport around the clock. It is 55 miles door to terminal, usually 70–85 minutes depending on when you travel, and the fare is fixed before you book rather than metered on the day.

The journey

How the 55-mile run works

  1. Pickup

    Your driver arrives at your address, or at a local landmark if that is easier — Esher station, Sandown Park Racecourse and the High Street are all regular pickup points in Esher.

  2. Out of town

    We leave Esher on the A307 to the A3. Esher is the closest of our areas to London, which makes it the shortest run to London City and the longest, relatively, to Southampton.

  3. Motorway

    The route joins M25 Junction 10 for the run to Luton, 55 miles in total.

  4. Arrival

    Luton Airport is a single-terminal airport, so arrival is straightforward. Luton has a paid drop-off area a short walk from the terminal, included in your fare.

Timing

When should you leave Esher?

Working back from the airport: allow about 3 hours 30 minutes before a short-haul departure and 4 hours 30 minutes before a long-haul one. That is the journey at its slowest plus the standard two- and three-hour check-in windows.
