Chauffeur service at Stansted Airport

Stansted has a single passenger terminal with a long satellite walk to gates - but a fast, straightforward arrivals route back to the short-stay car park. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall and walks you across the covered footbridge to the car.

Stansted is also a major private aviation hub. Harrods Aviation, Inflite The Jet Centre and Universal Aviation all operate FBOs here - for private arrivals we coordinate airside collection directly with the ground handler.

From Stansted we run regular fixed-price transfers to Cambridge (45 min), central London (60–85 min), Essex and the home counties, and onward into East Anglia. The M11 is generally free-flowing outside peak hours, making this one of the more predictable London airports for arrival timing.

Questions we are actually asked

Stansted Airport (STN) chauffeur questions

Why is there a walk to the car at Stansted?

Stansted's express set-down is a two-minute enforced zone unsuitable for a proper meet and greet, so we park in the short-stay across the covered footbridge. It adds about five minutes and means your chauffeur can carry the bags from the hall.

How does the Stansted meet-and-greet work?

Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name board. Thirty minutes of waiting is included, with additional waiting charged in 15-minute increments.

Can you meet a private aircraft at Harrods Aviation or Inflite?

Yes. Harrods Aviation, Inflite The Jet Centre and Universal Aviation all operate here and we coordinate directly with the handler on your tail number, with airside collection where access is granted.

How long is Stansted to Cambridge or Newmarket?

Cambridge is typically 40 to 50 minutes on the M11 and Newmarket around 50. Both are quoted as fixed fares. The M11 is generally free-flowing outside the 07:00 to 09:00 southbound peak.

My Ryanair flight lands at 23:45 - will a car be there?

Yes. Stansted has a heavy late-night schedule and our dispatch desk is staffed around the clock. The chauffeur enters arrivals 15 minutes after actual flight arrival; 30 minutes of waiting is included.
