Why Choose HGVTH Luton?
Luton sits on the M1 at junctions 10 and 11, with the A6 running north towards Bedford. London Luton Airport handled 17.5m passengers in 2025 and is one of the area's largest employers, and easyJet has its head office in the town and its main base at the airport. There is no lorry or bus test centre in Luton itself: the town's DVSA centre is for cars only, and your practical is at Leighton Buzzard (Stanbridge Road), about 13 miles by road. You train one-to-one in a full-size vehicle with an approved partner school local to the area, so there is no long trip to our Kent centre. Your training centre, test centre, dates and full price are confirmed in writing before you pay anything.
