Totals count every traveller at the fare shown; children often travel cheaper or free.

When not to book us: We will start with the case against us, because on this route it is strong. The airport's own page puts a direct train to Cambridge at 30 minutes from £10, running seven days a week, and a direct coach at 45 minutes from £7. The free-flow drive is about 40 minutes over 29 miles, so the train is not merely cheaper, it is quicker than the car before traffic is even considered. One or two people with cabin bags should take the train: £20 for a couple against any car fare on a journey this short is not a close call. What a car does that the train cannot is start and finish at your own door. That matters when you are going to a village rather than the station, when there are three of you and three hold cases to lift on and off, when you are travelling at an hour the timetable does not cover, and when you are moving a student in or out of accommodation with everything they own.

Lowest live operator quote for this direction, saloon, 26 October 2026.

Each leg is quoted separately and a different operator can win each, so this price can differ from the Cambridge to Stansted Airport price at the top of this page.

To book this direction, set Stansted Airport as your pick-up in the form at the top of this page.

On this leg the fixed price also includes:

Where you meet your driver

  1. Give the Cambridge address in full, down to the college, the lab or the house number. Much of the centre is closed to through traffic and a driver aiming at a named door does far better than one aiming at a district.
  2. Your driver's number comes through in the supplier details email. It is worth saving to your phone before you fly rather than searching an inbox in the terminal.
  3. Flight tracking is included, so an aircraft that arrives an hour late moves your collection instead of forfeiting it. The free waiting that comes with the fare starts when you land, and What it costs above sets out how long it runs.
  4. The airport has its own on-site operator, Street Cars, with a reservation desk in the international arrivals concourse and a courtesy telephone in domestic baggage reclaim. That is a walk-up service with no published fare. A booking made here is priced before you fly and does not need a desk.
  5. Meet and greet in the arrivals hall with a name board is a paid extra you select at checkout. Without it you get express pick-up at the designated pick-up point.

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.

Questions people ask about this route

What is the fastest way from Stansted to Cambridge?

The direct train, at 30 minutes. The free-flow drive is about 40 minutes over 29 miles, so on an empty road a car is still slower, and on a busy one it is slower again. Very few airport routes work this way and we would rather say so than bury it.

Is the train cheaper than a taxi?

For one or two people, yes, comfortably. The airport publishes trains from £10 per person, so a couple travels for £20. It does not name the ticket type behind that figure, so check the fare for your own departure, but nothing about a 29-mile car journey competes with it on price alone.

Is there a cheaper option than the train?

The direct coach, which the airport lists from £7 and times at 45 minutes. It is the cheapest seat on the route and the slowest of the three options. Three passengers on it come to £21.

So why would I book a car at all?

Because the station is not your destination. A car starts at your door and finishes at the terminal, which is worth paying for when you have hold luggage, small children, a wheelchair, a departure at four in the morning, or an address in the villages where the onward journey from the station is another leg entirely.

Does the train run every day?

The airport states it runs seven days a week and is direct. What it does not do is run through the small hours in the way a booked car does, so check the first and last departures against your flight before relying on it.

How far is Cambridge from Stansted?

About 29 miles, or 47 km. It is the shortest journey on this site by some distance, which is exactly why the fixed cost of a private vehicle is hardest to justify here for a solo traveller.

Can you collect a student with a full term of luggage?

Yes, and it is one of the most common bookings on this pair in September and June. Choose an estate or a people carrier from the vehicle cards on this page and the price you accept covers that space.

What if my flight into Stansted is delayed?

The driver follows the flight and shifts the pick-up to the actual landing, at no charge, with free waiting from that moment. The length of that allowance is stated under What it costs above.

Is there a taxi desk at the airport if I have not booked?

Yes. Street Cars, the airport's own provider, has a reservation desk in the international arrivals concourse and a courtesy telephone in domestic baggage reclaim. No fares are published for it, which is the practical difference from booking ahead at a figure you already know.

Can I cancel if I decide to take the train after all?

Yes. Cancel more than 24 hours before pick-up and you are refunded in full; inside 24 hours the fare stands. Changes go through the booking link in your confirmation email on the same deadline.
