Do not follow post code  as it will take you a couple of miles away, the place is poorly sign posted. It is on the same side as Akbars Resturant and about 500 yards away.

Take the train to Meadow Hall Interchange get the bus X78 from stand c2 the bus stop is across the road aroud 100 yards.

The place is very regimental and in-flexible, when you confirm the vehicle you will be given a specific time in my instance it was between 3 pm and 4.30 pm, there were drivers waiting outside one person had been there since 1.30 pm, when they say 3 pm it is one minute past three, there is no shelter for you to wait under and they refused one driver to use the facilities, however 3 ladies came for a collection and they left with their vehicles within minutes. The gate person will give you a check list and a number on a sheet, you walk or march down to a unit where you meet a really nice gentleman who will give you the keys and ask you to check the vehicle,once he has checked your paperwork you drive up to the gate and return the yellow sticker and get signed off. one of the staff there told me they have a policy of " Do not speak unless you have been spoken too.." There is enough fuel to get you to the nearest petrol station.

An experience you will want to delete from your brain asap..

This is a remote site on an airfield, do not get this site mixed up with BCA, who are at the front of the Estate, SMH is a good 2 mile walk from there. If you are collecting from here the best way is to get a Taxi from Bedford station Best one I found is: Skyline Taxis 01234261919 £13 to Bedford station or from Bedford station to SMH                    

The collecting times are very strict so make sure you have confirmed your car, and they will shut exactly on time stipulated , so even if you are 5 minutes late they will not release the car. I normally deal with Colin and he is a nice person.

If you are dropping off it's the same place, there are other drivers collecting and yhere is a good chance of a lift out.
There is a canteen across the place if you have to wait.
