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 85 miles — A11 → M11 → Stansted — typically around 2 Hours, 5 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 Norwich and nearby — Norwich City Centre, Thorpe Hamlet, Eaton, Sprowston, Costessey and the surrounding NR 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) | ~2 Hours, 5 Minutes | none | from £172 / car |
| Train | around two hours door to door with the connections at each end | no changes, but a long stopping run | £20-35pp at peak times |
| Coach | around two and a half hours direct | 1+ | £15-25pp |
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
Norwich to Stansted FAQ
How much does a taxi from Norwich 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 Norwich to Stansted journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Most of the route is fast A-road and motorway along the A11 and M11, so outside the busiest periods the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the longer run across Norfolk and Suffolk.
What is the best route from Norwich to Stansted?
The standard run is the A11 south-west through Thetford and Newmarket to the M11, then south to the Stansted junction and onto the airport spur. When the A11 is heavy around Newmarket, an experienced driver will adjust the timing to keep you moving and still reach the terminal comfortably.
Do you pick up from Eaton, Sprowston and Costessey?
Yes. We collect from every Norwich neighbourhood including Eaton, Sprowston, Costessey, Thorpe Hamlet, Hellesdon and Old Catton, as well as the wider NR postcodes such as Wymondham, Hethersett and Poringland.
Where does the driver meet me at Stansted?
Stansted has just one passenger terminal, so there is only one place to head for. On the way out your driver drops you at the terminal forecourt for departures, and on the return meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name board. Whether you have flown with Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2 or TUI, it is the same building every time.
Can I book the return, Stansted to Norwich?
Yes, the same fixed fare applies in both directions. For the return leg the driver tracks your inbound flight, so if you land early or late the pickup adjusts automatically and you are met in arrivals with no extra waiting charge for normal delays.
