New £10 Stansted Express Set Down Charge & All Fees Included
On 19 March 2026, Stansted raised its Express Set Down drop-off charge from £7 to £10 — a 40% increase that puts it level with Gatwick as the UK’s most expensive. The £10 covers the first 15 minutes; 15 to 30 minutes costs £28, with ANPR cameras enforcing payment online by midnight the next day. Rather than spring that on you at the kerb, we fold the £10, and every other airport fee, straight into the price we quote. The number you see is the number you pay.

Stansted Taxi vs Stansted Express, National Express, Uber & Black Cab
Which way into Central London actually works out cheapest and fastest from Stansted? Here’s an honest, side-by-side look at all five options so you can choose what suits your trip.
| Transport Option | Price (One-Way) | Total Time | Luggage | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
local_taxi Pre-booked Taxi (Us) Recommended | From £78 | 60-90 mins | Unlimited | Groups, families, late flights, luggage-heavy journeys, door-to-door |
train Stansted Express | £19-£25 | 47 mins | Carry yourself | Solo travellers, direct to Liverpool Street, fastest rail option |
directions_bus National Express Coach | From £10 | 75-120 mins | Included | Budget solo travellers, 24/7 service, multiple London stops |
local_taxi Uber / Bolt | £60-£130 | 60-90 mins | Limited | Flexible, but surge pricing spikes heavily after late-evening flights |
local_taxi Metered Black Cab | £110-£145 | 60-90 mins | Limited (5 pax) | Walk-up at taxi rank, but metered fare + traffic risk on M11 |
The honest breakdown: For budget solo travellers, the National Express coach from £10 is unbeatable on price. For solo travellers who value speed, the Stansted Express at £19-£25 gets you to Liverpool Street in 47 minutes non-stop. For groups of 3 or more, a pre-booked taxi becomes competitive. A £78 saloon to Central London split between 3 people is £26 each, with door-to-door service and no platform changes. For families of 4-6 with luggage, a £100 MPV-6 works out at £17-£25 per person—cheaper than four train tickets plus onward travel. Pre-booked taxis also beat Uber on price certainty—no surge, no meter, no £10 Express Set Down surprise. For the metered alternative, compare current taxi fares london or estimate your trip with a black cab calculator before you travel.

Stansted Taxi Prices – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a taxi from Stansted Airport to Central London in 2026?
A saloon from Stansted to Central London is fixed at £78 (up to 3 passengers, 2 bags), with Liverpool Street a touch closer at £75. Estates are £86, executives £98, and 6-seater MPVs £100. Larger 8-seaters start at £123. Every fare is locked at booking with no surge pricing.
Does my Stansted Airport taxi price include the new £10 Express Set Down drop-off charge?
Yes — the £10 Express Set Down charge (up from £7 on 19 March 2026, now level with Gatwick as the UK’s priciest) is already in every quote. It covers the first 15 minutes, with 15 to 30 minutes costing £28. We settle the ANPR fee online for you, and tolls, meet and greet, and 30 minutes free waiting are all included.
How much is a taxi from Stansted to Cambridge and other East Anglia destinations?
Stansted to Cambridge is fixed from £65 by saloon — roughly 30 miles up the M11, about 35 to 50 minutes. Other East Anglia fares: Newmarket £70, Ely £75, Peterborough £95, and Norwich £110. Each includes parking, meet and greet, and 30 minutes free waiting.
Is a Stansted taxi cheaper than the Stansted Express train?
Solo, the Stansted Express usually wins (£19-£25 to Liverpool Street, 47 minutes non-stop). For groups it flips: a £78 saloon split three ways is £26 each, door to door with no Tube transfer. A £100 MPV-6 suits families at £17-£25 a head — and dodges Uber surge pricing.
Do Stansted taxi fares include parking, tolls, and waiting time?
Yes — every booking covers terminal parking, M11 and M25 tolls, congestion charges where they apply, meet and greet inside arrivals, and 30 minutes free waiting from landing. Your driver tracks your flight in real time, and there are no night, weekend, or bank-holiday surcharges.
Will the driver wait if my Ryanair, easyJet, or Jet2 flight is delayed?
Yes — we track every STN arrival live, with data covering Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, Wizz Air, TUI, and the rest. If you land late, your driver simply adjusts and waits at no extra cost, and you get 30 minutes free waiting from the moment the wheels touch down.
Where does my driver meet me at Stansted Airport?
Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall at Stansted’s single terminal, holding a name board for easy spotting — no juggling between buildings. Once you land, you will get a text with your driver’s name, vehicle registration, and exact meeting point.
