Questions people actually ask

How much is a taxi from Stansted to central London?
A saloon is from around £166, fixed at booking. MPV from £197, 8-seater from £238. Your exact fare is confirmed the moment you enter your addresses — and it never changes afterwards.
Do I pay the £10 drop-off charge on top of my fare?
No. It is included in the price we quote. Nobody asks for it at the kerb and no bill arrives afterwards. Full guide →
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Every booking is flight tracked. Free waiting runs for 60 minutes from actual landing, not the scheduled time. Stansted has a single terminal, so most people clear arrivals well inside that window.
Where does the driver wait?
One terminal, one arrivals hall — no ambiguity, no shuttle buses. Your driver waits with a name board. Meet & greet is free.
Is the Stansted Express cheaper than a taxi?
For one person travelling light from Liverpool Street, yes — advance fares start at £9.90. From two people upwards, with luggage, or outside train hours, a fixed-fare car usually wins door to door. See our taxi vs train guide.
Can you take twelve of us?
Yes. The 16-seater minibus carries 9–16 passengers at one fixed fare. A trailer can be added for heavy luggage.
Is there a night surcharge?
None. A 3am pickup costs exactly what a 3pm one costs.

One terminal. One fare. No kerbside surprises.

The £10 set-down charge is on us. Flight tracked, 60 minutes free waiting from actual landing, no surge at any hour. Saloon to 16-seater, at fixed fares.
