How meet and greet works at Stansted
- Book with your flight number. We track the flight and time the driver’s arrival to your landing, early or late.
- Clear passport control and collect your bags. Stansted has a single terminal, so there is one arrivals area to find.
- Look for your name. The driver waits in arrivals with a name board. If you cannot see them, call the number on your confirmation.
- Walk to the car in the airport car park. Any airport parking or pick-up fee is shown as its own line in your quote, not added on the day.
Why book a taxi from Stansted rather than take the train?
The Stansted Express runs to Liverpool Street in under an hour and suits one person heading to the City. But Stansted is about 40 miles from central London, and if you are going to the West End, south London or anywhere in Essex and Hertfordshire away from the line, you face a change and a second journey with luggage. Late at night, trains are less frequent. A car takes you door to door, and three people sharing a £102 fare to the City pay £34 each.
How long is the taxi from Stansted to London?
Usually 60 to 75 minutes to the City or Canary Wharf down the M11, and 75 to 90 minutes to the West End or Westminster. The A406 and inner London are slowest on weekday mornings and Friday evenings. Bishop’s Stortford is about 15 minutes away, Harlow 20 minutes and Cambridge 35 to 45 minutes.
Groups and heavy luggage
Ski trips, family holidays and team travel often need more space than a saloon. A people carrier takes six passengers and five large cases, an 8-seater takes eight and eight, and we run 12 and 16-seat minibuses. Tell us about skis, golf bags or pushchairs in the booking notes.
