The journey from Harlow to Stansted typically takes around 25 to 35 minutes by road via the A414 and M11, depending on traffic near Junction 8. It is a short enough hop that many people underestimate it, then end up rushing on the morning of a flight. A pre-booked transfer removes that uncertainty, with a driver who knows the route, watches your flight time, and gets you to the terminal with time to spare.

Whether you are heading off on a family holiday from Harlow town centre, Old Harlow, Church Langley, or one of the surrounding villages, Onward Travel Solutions provides a door-to-door service with no changes, no waiting at a bus stop, and no need to find parking near the station.

Arrivals passengers can request a meet and greet service, where the driver waits inside the terminal with a name board rather than leaving you to search a car park in unfamiliar surroundings. Pricing is fixed at the time of booking, so the fare you agree to is the fare you pay, with no last-minute additions for luggage, traffic or airport fees.

Because the airport transfer trade does not stop at 5pm, we operate a 24/7 booking and dispatch service, useful for the early morning charter flights and late-night landings that Stansted is known for. Our fleet is cleaned and maintained regularly, our booking system works from any phone or laptop, and payments are processed through secure channels. If a question comes up before or after your journey, our customer support team is easy to reach.
