Getting from London Stansted Airport into Central London
Stansted is the furthest of the London airports from the centre, and the station sits under the terminal, so the honest comparison is between a train you walk to and a car that starts where you are standing.
The rail fare below is the walk-up price you pay if you turn up and tap in. The airport's own advance price is lower and is quoted beside it, but it commits you to a booking made before you know when your bag will appear.
When the train is the better choice: a weekday daytime arrival, travelling alone with hand luggage, into the City. Pre-booking earns its money on a night arrival, with a group, with hold luggage, or when you want a named driver waiting rather than a queue.

Stansted taxi questions
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations made more than 24 hours before your scheduled pick-up are free. Cancellations inside 24 hours are charged in full.
Are your fares fixed, and what do they include?
Yes. The price you are quoted for London Stansted Airport is fixed from the moment you book: no meter, no surge pricing and no night tariff. It includes express pick-up at the airport's designated pick-up point, flight tracking and free cancellation up to 24 hours before you travel.
What happens if my flight into Stansted is delayed?
We track your flight and move the pick-up time to match the new arrival, so book for the scheduled time rather than padding it. Your booking includes 60 minutes free waiting after your flight lands, so a slow bag drop or a long queue at immigration does not cost you the car.
Where do I meet my driver at Stansted?
At the airport's designated pick-up point. Express pick-up is what your fixed price includes, so contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email. Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.
What is the difference between express pick-up and meet and greet?
Express pick-up is included: your driver waits at the airport's pick-up point and you go straight to the car. Meet and greet is a paid extra: your driver comes into the arrivals hall with a name board and waits with you while you gather your luggage.
What vehicles are available, and how much luggage fits?
Saloons carry up to four passengers with two large cases, estates take the same passengers with more luggage, people carriers take up to six and minibuses up to eight. The passenger and luggage capacity of each class is shown next to its price before you book.
Can I book a transfer for a 4 am flight from Stansted?
Yes. We quote and confirm at any hour, and the price does not carry a night tariff. Your driver is confirmed in advance rather than found on the night, which is the main reason early departures get pre-booked.
Can I book a child seat?
Yes, child seats are available on request. Any charge is shown before you pay rather than added at the roadside.
How do I pay?
You pay online when you book, by card. There is nothing to settle with the driver and no cash needs to change hands.
