Central London to Stansted Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Central London to Stansted taxis. More on our FAQ page.

How much does a taxi from Central London 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 Central London to Stansted journey take?

Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Most of the route is the A12 and the M11, so outside the daytime peak the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for getting out of the centre and past the M25 interchange.

Where do you pick up at Stansted Airport?

Stansted has a single passenger terminal, so there is no north, south or numbered building to find. For departures we drop you right at the terminal forecourt, and on the return your driver meets you inside Stansted’s single terminal arrivals hall with a name board, wherever your flight comes in.

What is the best route from Central London to Stansted?

The standard run works east out of the centre onto the A12, then north up the M11 to the Stansted spur. When the A12 is congested, an experienced driver may switch to the A10 north towards the M11 instead to keep you moving.
