Stansted Quick Links

A useful guide to Stansted Airport taxi and private hire services available from the airport

Taxis from London Stansted Airport - General Guide

There are a wide range of taxi options from most UK airports and London Stansted Airport is no different with both the airport resident transfer service and countless other companies that will meet and greet passengers in the airport arrivals halls.

A taxi between Central London and Stansted with our lead Stansted Airport taxi partner Stansted Airport Taxis & Chauffeurs will cost approx. £70 to £80 and more for an executive car/MPV service. The journey time varies on traffic but will generally take about 1 hour 10 minutes.

Stansted is also convenient for other UK destinations such as Cambridge, Oxford, Norwich and Harwich Cruise Port. The journey between Stansted and Cambridge is cheaper at around £49.00.

Most companies will meet you in the arrivals hall with a nameboard and then escort you to the vehicle in the car park. Stansted Airport has strict meet and greet guidelines [you cannot be collected at the front of the airport] and so it is recommended that you follow these guidelines in the interests of your health and safety. The best meeting point in the international arrivals hall is near the information desk inside the airport.
