Frequently Asked Questions About Stansted Transfers
How do I get from Stansted Airport to London by private car?
Book a fixed-fare car before you fly. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall and drives you straight to your door, with the cases loaded for you, and the same car can take you back to Stansted for your flight home.
Which terminal is Stansted, and where is the meeting point?
Stansted has one passenger terminal, so there is no terminal to choose. Your chauffeur waits in the public arrivals hall after customs, and the exact meeting point is written in your confirmation before you fly.
What does the fare include, and do I pay the drop-off charge?
No. The drop-off charge when you fly out is already in the fare, along with fuel, road charges and the airport parking while you are met. The price is fixed per car, confirmed in writing, and does not change with traffic, a late flight or the hour you travel.
How long does the drive from Stansted to central London take?
About an hour at night, an hour and 30 minutes from mid-morning to early afternoon, and up to an hour and 45 minutes if you land between 06:00 and 09:00 on a weekday. Allow extra time for passport control and the baggage belt before the drive starts. Heading out, allow an hour and 45 minutes at the 16:00 peak.
Is Stansted in London, and how far is it?
No, Stansted is in Essex, north-east of London, about 31 miles from the centre in a straight line. By road it is 35 to 44 miles depending on your district, and the distance cards above give each area.
Which car should I book for my group and luggage?
Choose by suitcases as well as passengers: the V-Class takes seven people with seven suitcases, the Range Rover four with four, and the E-Class or S-Class three with two. Tell us the age of each child when you book and the right seats are fitted free.
Do you collect from Stansted at night and on public holidays?
Yes. Transfers run 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including Christmas and public holidays, and a late-night landing or pre-dawn departure costs the same fixed fare as a midday trip.
What happens if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
A delay costs nothing, because we track the flight. If the airline cancels and moves you to another flight, we move the booking to the new flight free of charge, even on the day, or refund you in full if you prefer.
How much is a Stansted transfer in US dollars?
About $250 for the Mercedes E-Class and $290 for the V-Class at the current exchange rate, as estimates only. Fares are set and charged in pounds sterling, so your card issuer’s rate on the day decides the exact dollar amount. The price covers the whole car, not each passenger.
Can I cancel or change my Stansted booking?
Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup. To change the flight, pickup time or address, contact us with your booking reference and we update the booking and send a new written confirmation.
