Book the return at the same time and the return leg is 5% cheaper.
Getting to Stansted
London Stansted is in north-west Essex, beside junction 8 of the M11 near Bishop’s Stortford. It has a single terminal, so drop-off is simple: the driver takes you to the terminal set-down area with the fee already paid.
Stansted is a busy base for early European flights, so very early pickups are common. Aim to arrive about two hours before a short-haul departure, more in school holidays when security queues build. From east London the M11 run is usually under an hour; from south and west London allow longer for the cross-city part of the journey.
Arriving at Stansted: Your Pickup
Add your flight number when you book. We track the flight and you get one hour of free waiting from the time it actually lands, so a delay in the air or a slow passport queue doesn’t cost you anything extra. Your driver’s details and contact number come with your booking confirmation.
Stansted Taxi or Stansted Express?
The Stansted Express runs to Tottenham Hale and Liverpool Street and suits a single traveller heading into the City. A taxi to Stansted Airport is the better choice for very early flights, families and groups, heavy luggage, or anyone not near the train line. Six people sharing a people carrier from Stratford pay under £20 each.
Which Vehicle Do You Need?
| Vehicle | Passengers | Large cases | Hand luggage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| Executive | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| Estate | 4 | 4 | 3 |
| People carrier | 6 | 5 | 4 |
| Executive minivan | 6 | 6 | 5 |
| 8-seater minivan | 8 | 8 | 6 |

Our saloons seat three, not four, so that there is room for everyone’s cases. A family of four should book an estate. For ski trips and long holidays, the estate or people carrier gives room for the extra bags.
