A pre-booked Stansted airport transfer takes you from the terminal door to your address, with no bus queue, ticket machine or platform change. Your licensed driver tracks your flight, meets you in arrivals and drives you straight there.
The fare is fixed before you travel and the car is yours alone, so you leave as soon as you clear baggage reclaim. Passengers book us for early-morning departures, late-night arrivals, family trips with heavy bags and business travel where time matters.

How a Stansted transfer works

1. Book your ride

Enter your flight number, address and travel date, and choose a vehicle that fits your group and luggage. Your confirmation email carries your booking reference, and we send your driver's name and phone number before pickup. Save that number: if you cannot find your driver, one call sorts it.
Book at least 24 hours ahead for the widest choice. A last-minute family booking on a summer Saturday may find only larger vehicles left.

2. Meet your driver

Stansted has one terminal and one arrivals hall, so the meeting point is easy to find. Your driver tracks your flight in real time and waits in arrivals with a name board. If you land early, they adjust; if you land late, they wait, at no extra cost.

3. Enjoy the ride

Your driver loads your bags and takes the most direct route. The price you booked is the price you pay: no meter, no luggage surcharge and no detour fees.

Why book your Stansted airport taxi with us

Fixed fare. Quoted and agreed before you travel, whatever the traffic on the M11.
Flight tracking. Your pickup moves with your landing time.
Meet and greet. Your driver waits inside arrivals with your name on a board.
Stansted's drop-off charge included. The Express Set Down fee is in your fare.
Licensed drivers. Every driver holds a private hire licence, with insurance that covers paying passengers, in a vehicle that passes regular safety checks.
Any hour. Early check-ins and late landings are covered.
A word of caution: turn down anyone who approaches you inside the terminal offering a ride. Unbooked drivers touting for work are not insured to carry you and have no fixed price.

Flying out of Stansted: drop-off and timing

We collect you from your address and set the pickup time around your airline's check-in and bag-drop deadlines, with a buffer for the M11 and M25. Your driver drops you at the terminal in the Express Set Down area.
Since 19 March 2026, Stansted has charged Β£10 for up to 15 minutes in Express Set Down, and Β£28 for 15 to 30 minutes. That charge is included in your fare.

Central London charges: Congestion Charge and ULEZ

Private hire cars are not exempt from London's Congestion Charge. Since 2 January 2026 it has cost Β£18 a day in the central zone during charging hours. Your quote shows the full fare for your route, so you know before you book whether any London charges apply.

Vehicle types and luggage capacity

Pick your vehicle by counting bags as well as people. A group of four with six suitcases needs an MPV or people carrier, not a saloon.
Vehicle | Example models | Passengers | Check-in bags | Hand luggage | Child seats
Saloon | Toyota Prius, VW Passat or similar | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1
Estate | Volvo estate or similar | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1
Executive | Mercedes E-Class or similar | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1
S-Class | Mercedes S-Class or similar | 4 | 2 | 2 | 0
6-seater MPV | VW Sharan, SEAT Alhambra or similar | 6 | 2 | 2 | 2
Executive people carrier | Mercedes Viano or similar | 7 | 3 | 3 | 2
8-seater minibus | VW Transporter or similar | 8 | 4 | 4 | 2
16-seater minibus | Mercedes Sprinter or similar | 16 | 10 | 8 | 3
24-seater coach | Tour coach | 24 | 12 | 12 | 6
The executive and S-Class suit client pickups and special occasions. Minibuses and coaches let sports teams, extended families and tour groups travel together on one fare.

Popular routes from London Stansted

Central London, the City and Canary Wharf

Stansted is about 40 miles north-east of central London, linked by the M11. The West End, the City and Westminster are usually 60 to 80 minutes away, and hotels in Mayfair, Soho and Paddington are regular drop-offs. Canary Wharf and Docklands take around 75 to 90 minutes. On weekday mornings, allow an extra 15 minutes. Liverpool Street station is about an hour away for anyone continuing by rail.

Cambridge and the East of England

Cambridge is about 30 miles north, roughly 40 minutes by road, which makes Stansted the natural airport for the city and the university.

Other airports and cruise ports

We connect Stansted with Heathrow (90 to 120 minutes), Gatwick and Luton (about an hour). Fly-cruise passengers book direct cars to Southampton, and we also run to Brighton and Oxford (about two hours each).

Stansted to London: train, coach or car?

Option | Journey | Best for
Stansted Express | About 48 minutes to Liverpool Street and 36 minutes to Tottenham Hale, every 15 minutes in the daytime; not 24 hours | Solo travellers with light bags staying near the line
National Express coach | To Victoria and other London stops; slower than the train | Budget travel with time to spare
Taxi rank | Walk-up, metered, subject to availability | Travellers who did not pre-book
Pre-booked transfer | Door to door at a fixed fare, 50 to 75 minutes to central London | Groups, families, heavy luggage, early and late flights
The train is fast and cheap for one person, but it stops at Liverpool Street or Tottenham Hale, and you still need the Tube or a taxi to your hotel. Count that last leg and the fares for everyone in your group, and a private transfer is often close in price for two or more travellers.
