What's included
- Fixed price, in writing. The meter never runs; no airport surcharge or card fee.
- Meet & greet. Your driver waits in arrivals with a name board.
- Free waiting on the return. We track your inbound flight, so a delay just moves your pickup — no extra charge.
- Licensed, DBS-checked drivers, 24/7. Including the earliest departures.
The journey & pickup
It's about 32 miles — M11 → Stansted — typically around 42 Minutes. Traffic near the airport can add time at peak, so for an early flight we'll suggest a pickup that clears the worst of it; for arrivals we hold the car until you're through the hall.
We collect across Cambridge and nearby — Cambridge City Centre, Chesterton, Cherry Hinton, Trumpington, Newnham and the surrounding CB postcodes. We serve Stansted's single terminal; give us your terminal and flight number when you book and the driver takes you to the right door.
Taxi vs train vs coach
| Option | Time | Changes | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi (door to door) | ~42 Minutes | none | from £93 / car |
| Train | around 40 to 50 minutes on the train, plus the trip to and from both stations | direct, no changes | £11-16pp |
| Coach | around one to one and a half hours | 1+ | £8-14pp |
The taxi fare is per car. For two or more travellers — or any early-morning or late-night flight — a fixed car usually beats multiple legs with luggage.
How booking works
Cambridge to Stansted FAQ
How much does a taxi from Cambridge to Stansted cost?
Your fare is fixed and shown in the price table above, starting with the saloon and rising by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the number you see when you book is the number you pay, whatever the traffic on the day.
How long does the Cambridge to Stansted journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Almost the entire route is motorway straight down the M11, so outside the morning rush the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the commuter build-up around the Cambridge junctions.
What is the best route from Cambridge to Stansted?
The standard run is straight down the M11 from the southern edge of Cambridge to the dedicated Stansted spur at the end. It is almost all motorway, so the main thing an experienced driver watches is the cleanest way out of the city centre and past the Trumpington junctions before the motorway section begins.
Do you pick up from Chesterton, Trumpington and the colleges?
Yes. We collect from every Cambridge neighbourhood including Chesterton, Trumpington, Newnham, Cherry Hinton, Arbury and Girton, from the college lodges and city-centre hotels, and from the wider CB villages such as Histon, Fulbourn, Great Shelford and Waterbeach.
Where will the driver meet me at Stansted?
Stansted has a single terminal, so it is refreshingly simple: on departure the driver drops you at the one departures forecourt, and on the return your meet-and-greet driver waits inside the single arrivals hall with a name board. There is no north or south building and no numbered terminal to sort out, so the pickup is easy to find after your flight.
The train from Cambridge is direct, so why take a taxi?
The direct train is a fair option, but a taxi is door to door. There is no station car park to pay for, no local cab to the platform, no lifting cases onto a train and off again, and no wait for a connection at either end. The driver collects you from your door and the same fixed fare covers your whole party and all the luggage, which often works out simpler once you add up the extras.
