Event & venue transfers
Haringey to Stansted Airport runs to roughly 31.0 miles and 1h off-peak. We quote £120 and that is the number you pay, whatever the traffic does.
A taxi from Haringey to Stansted Airport is £120 in a saloon, £150 in a 6-seat MPV and £165 in an 8-seater. It is about 31.0 miles and 1h off-peak, or 1h 25m in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fixed fare |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases | from £120 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £150 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £165 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
Meet and greet in the arrivals hall, or the short-stay pickup area. Stansted's drop-off charge and the airport approach fee are already inside the fixed fare. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: London Stansted Airport, Essex, CM24 1QW.
Parking at Stansted Airport is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
The route from Haringey is not complicated. The timing of it is. The run is the A10 or North Circular east to M11 Junction 4, or the A104 through Woodford when the A406 is heavy, which is about 31.0 miles and 1h on a clear road.
What decides your journey time is the North Circular between Bounds Green and Edmonton, and Tottenham on Spurs match days. That is where 1h turns into 1h 25m, and it is why we publish a peak number instead of pretending every hour looks alike.
One of the shortest Stansted runs in London once the roads empty out.
Re-routing is the driver's job, not your cost. A fixed fare means the traffic is our risk.
We would rather set this out than pretend the train does not exist. From Haringey the public transport route is Victoria line or Overground to Tottenham Hale, then the Stansted Express straight through, with one change, and it runs about 55 minutes station to terminal. The fare is 20.70 pounds on the Express from Tottenham Hale.
The car is 1h off-peak and 1h 25m at its worst, door to door, from anywhere in N4, N8, N15, N17, N22. On time alone the train is competitive, and if you are travelling light and alone it is a fair choice.
The timetable hides two things. The first train is 04:56 from Tottenham Hale and the last is 00:45, which rules rail out for a large slice of what Stansted Airport actually flies - the early bank needs you airside before the network wakes up. The second is luggage: the Stansted Express has luggage racks but they fill by Tottenham Hale, and the walk from the platform up into the terminal is longer than the signage suggests with two cases in hand.
Split three ways the car matches the train, and that is before the bags you did not carry up a staircase. The Saloon is a fixed fare of £120, or about £40 each between three.
Outbound is simple. Stansted has one terminal, so there is no wrong door - the set-down bay sits directly in front of departures and the walk to check-in is under three minutes. Set-down is charged by the airport and that charge is inside your fare, not added at the barrier.
Landing back, your driver waits at the short-stay car park opposite the terminal, bays signed for pre-booked cars. The exact bay and the registration reach you by text before you land, so there is no hunting along a rank and no call to a switchboard.
Sixty minutes of free waiting are included from the moment the flight lands, which is the realistic figure for a full A320 clearing the hall. That means the car is waiting when you walk out, not summoned once you do.
We track the inbound flight number, so an early landing or a two-hour delay changes the driver's schedule and not your fare. Stansted bunches its arrivals, so a plane that lands on time can still take fifty minutes to reach the concourse. We build that in rather than start a clock the second the wheels touch.
The cheapest seats leave early, which makes this a night-time route. A pre-dawn transfer behaves differently from the same trip at noon.
The roads are the easy part - One of the shortest Stansted runs in London once the roads empty out. The complications are at your end, not on the road. Night entrances replace main doors, barriers that are open by day are down, and a driver who has not been told which side of the block you are on will circle.
So tell us the entrance when you book. The side entrance, the service road, the one with the step - that goes to the driver with the job. They message rather than ring a bell at four in the morning, and the free waiting time runs from the booked hour, not from whenever they happen to arrive.
We cover the whole of Haringey for this route: N4, N8, N15, N17, N22. Homes, hotels, offices, hospitals and station forecourts all work as pickup points, and the fare from any of them is the one you were quoted.
If there is a legal bay, that is where the car waits. Where there is not, the driver names a spot a few steps away that a car can legally stop in and messages you with it, rather than parking on a red route and hoping. It is a small thing, and it removes most of the stress from the first five minutes of a journey to Stansted Airport.
The demand here comes from a handful of places in Haringey: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Alexandra Palace events, North Middlesex Hospital and the Wood Green retail centre. It makes for an unusually flat demand curve, and a lot of 04:00 work.
If you are collected near Alexandra Palace, or anywhere else in N4, N8, N15, N17, N22, it is the same fixed fare. No zone splits, no awkward-address premium. London Borough of Haringey area, one price, quoted before you commit.
The three vehicle classes are not a sales ladder, they are three different amounts of boot. A Saloon at £120 takes four passengers and two large cases. An MPV at £150 takes six and four large cases. An eight-seater at £165 takes seven and seven large cases.
Almost every mis-booking comes from counting people only. Four adults with four large cases are an MPV booking whatever the seat count says. Tell us the bag count and we size it properly rather than sending a car that cannot close.
Child seats and boosters are free but need naming in advance, with the child's age, because the seat has to be fitted before the car leaves. Skis, bikes, instruments and wheelchairs all travel if you say so at booking. Parties over seven go in several vehicles routed together, so everyone reaches the same kerb within a minute of each other.
£120 in a saloon, £150 in a 6-seat MPV and £165 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 1h off-peak. The rail alternative is Turnpike Lane to Stansted Airport plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Meet and greet in the arrivals hall, or the short-stay pickup area. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
A 6-seat MPV is £150 and an 8-seater £165. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
The driver waits. We watch venue finish times rather than working to a fixed clock, so a late curtain does not leave you stranded or cost you extra.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
A day ahead is plenty for a Saloon. Book earlier for an eight-seater or anything before 05:00, because those go first out of Haringey.
That is the off-peak figure for the 31.0-mile run and it holds outside the rush. In the peak the same road is 1h 25m, mostly because of the North Circular between Bounds Green and Edmonton, and Tottenham on Spurs match days. We set the airport cutoff from the worse of the two, not the better one.
Nothing happens to the fare - it was fixed when you booked. If the road goes badly wrong the driver re-routes, and on an airport run we would rather you left Haringey half an hour early than argue about whose fault the A-road was. Give us the flight time and we set the pickup from it.
Card, bank transfer or cash, and nothing is added at the end. The £120 Saloon fare from Haringey covers the driver, the vehicle, tolls on the route, the airport set-down charge, and the free waiting time. No meter, no booking fee at checkout, no surge at any hour.
Fares are fixed at booking and shown per vehicle. Distances and journey times are approximate and vary with traffic and the exact pickup address. Page reviewed 14 September 2026.
