A Reliable Company to Trust
Having used 1ST Airport Taxis before, and now using them for October, we knew that it is a company to trust to pick up, and to be at our destination, on time. So easy to book a Taxi on-line with immediate contact and no fuss. I have no reservations about recommending this professional, reliable company to all.

Driver was keen to and wrongly charged us waiting time.
I have been using 1st Airport Taxis for last few years but it has always been to reach to the airport. As I had very good experience then, this time we booked it on our way back home too once we landed.
As the flight was initially delayed we booked for a 9 am pickup instead of the 8:10 am pickup which is 1 hour after the flight lands. However, the driver(304) just disregarded our 9 am booking time and argued that they monitor the flight landing times and arrive accordingly. He also changed the booking time to start at 7:45 am although the flight showed a landing time of 6:55 am on the BA site (but the flight had actually landed at 7:04 am, anyway).
We arrived at the taxi at around 8:20 am so the driver charged us extra 10 quid. Although the amount isn't too high but we were disappointed as we felt cheated because we had booked for a 9 am pickup.

Fantastic company to deal with
Fantastic company to deal with, was informed when our taxi was on the way and was kept updated the whole way until it arrived, informing us of the car reg, make & model so we knew what to look out for. Taxi arrived promptly, in fact 10 minutes ahead of schedule! Would highly recommend this taxi company

Forced to pay more the day before
The day before was told there was a booking error and I needed to pay an extra £80.
I had booked this a month in advance and no word until I was about to catch my flight home. Good thing I had access to my email.
No apology no reason no leeway.

Highly recommend- special mention to driver ID 379
Honestly the service from this company was amazing. They had great communication throughout the entire process, they were prompt, helpful and cautious but efficient with their driving as we were travelling in the very early hours of the day on each occasion. I want to make special mention of driver ID 379, in a tired haze I made a mistake which made us late on our return journey, he had the right to cancel our trip as we were so delayed but he didn’t leave us at 3am with a toddler stranded so that he could make his next customer and it honestly meant the world to us. He had great communication the whole time and his compassion was unparalleled.

Excellent Service
Booked taxi for 0900hrs pick up. Taxi arrived on time and driver was polite and professional. We were kept up to date with drivers location, vehicle registration and drivers name on the email that had the attached live information. Drop off at the airport and driver helped unload the luggage too. Excellent service. I am sure on our return the service will be just as good. I’m sure we can update with the return service review.

First time booking, great experience
First time booking and had a really great experience. I accidentally put the wrong the date on the online form which was promptly spotted and I received an email to confirm the correct pick up. The driver arrived on time in a large clean vehicle which could accommodate my luggage and got me to the airport comfortably.

Punctual and courteous
Driver 313 was punctual and courteous. It was very reassuring to be rung the day before to confirm my booking and the driver was very conversational and personable. Would definitely recommend 1st airport taxis.

Think twice before booking with 1ST Airport Taxis Ltd
I recently booked a journey with 1ST Airport Taxis Ltd from Luton Airport to Staplehurst (around 86miles or 140km) for myself, my wife, and our one-year-old daughter. This was meant to be our first holiday together as a family, and I went to extra lengths to make sure everything was planned properly. I chose this company after receiving a recommendation from ChatGPT, which pointed to 1ST Airport Taxis as a family-friendly and reliable service that provides proper child seats and a professional meet-and-greet. Sadly, our experience was anything but professional, and I want to share our story so other families can make an informed decision.
During the booking process via live chat on their official website, I made it very clear that we were traveling with a one-year-old and required a suitable child seat. I was also informed that the driver would meet us at arrivals with a name board and help us with our luggage, as promised in the transcript that we’ve thankfully saved. We paid £210 (eur255) for this trip, expecting a smooth and reliable service that matched the premium price.
When we landed at Luton as planned, I did not see anyone holding our name at the arrivals hall. Instead, I received a WhatsApp message from the driver asking me to call him once we had our luggage. I called, and he instructed us to go outside to the Drop Off and Pick Up Zone. The weather was extremely hot, and we were asked to get out of the airport terminal with our baby, pushing a stroller, and juggling luggage. This was not the experience we were promised.
While looking for the driver outside, he called again and gave rushed instructions, telling us we needed to hurry because he only had 5 free minutes in the pick-up zone. We found ourselves under pressure and confused. In the rush, trying to manage my phone, the stroller, and finding the driver, we accidentally left behind one of our cabin bags at the start of the parking lane 15 meters from the vehicle. It was a highly stressful and chaotic moment.
Once we found the vehicle and began loading our things, my wife started placing our daughter into the child seat and asked the driver if there were specific instructions for securing her. Rather than explaining calmly, he insisted he do it himself, saying it would be quicker. He leaned in and began pulling at the straps while our daughter was sitting in the seat. She became extremely startled and began crying because a stranger leaned in quickly. My wife stepped aside, thinking he had some method, but I had to intervene and firmly tell him to stop. He backed off, but the damage was done. Our daughter was shaken, crying intensely, and upset.
The driver later tried to apologize and claimed this had never happened before. But the situation was made worse when he started asking inappropriate questions about whom our daughter lives with, implying something was wrong with her because she was startled easily. This was deeply offensive and absolutely none of his business. She had just completed her first flight, was hot and tired, and had just been frightened by a stranger touching her.
Shortly after leaving the airport, we realized the green cabin bag was missing. When we told the driver, instead of responding with understanding, he began questioning whether we were sure we had even brought it. I had to ask my wife to take a photo of the trunk as we were driving, and eventually the driver stopped the vehicle so I could check it myself. When it was triple times confirmed missing, he agreed to return to the airport, but it would take more than 40 minutes due to traffic. This was frustrating but necessary.
During this time, we also noticed the air conditioning in the car was not working properly. As we returned to the airport to collect our bag, the driver started speaking in another language on the phone and appeared to be arranging for another vehicle to complete the journey. We did not want to go through the hassle of transferring cars in the sun again with our child, so we told him we would continue with him. Fortunately, the bag was still where we had left it. We retrieved it and resumed the journey.
To be fair, the driver drove safely the rest of the way. We remained silent for most of the journey as our daughter finally calmed down and slept. When we arrived at our destination, I still thanked him out of courtesy and wished him a safe trip back. His response was to tell me that he would now have to pay for the second entry to the airport parking out of his own pocket, suggesting we were at fault. This was completely inappropriate after everything that had happened.
I do not recommend this company to families traveling with young children. I am sharing this so that other parents can avoid the stress we experienced. Think twice before booking with 1ST Airport Taxis Ltd

Picked up 30 mins late at 3.30am on Sunday morning when roads are completely empty. Despite booking well ahead. Completely unacceptable and unnecessarily stressful

Generally good
Generally good. Just a heads up that the credit card I used to book had an attempted transaction recently (26 May) at a plush hotel which was blocked by my bank luckily.I got an sms asking if I had made it. I replied no. I only used this particular credit card to book the meet and greet with this taxi company. Just putting word out, so others can take precautions. perhaps use a virtual card when booking just for that taxi/meet and greet booking.

Early morning transfer Luton airport
I booked an early morning transfer to Luton airport. The coms have been great via email for the confirmation. The driver arrived earlier and he also called me 20 mins in advance to let me know he is arriving. The price was reasonable and lower compared to othe providers.
