Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day. --- ## Where the driver waits at Stansted Airport 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 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. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem. --- ## What the fare includes - Driver name and registration texted before pickup - Tolls, congestion and crossing charges already inside the quoted price - Vehicles inspected to licensing standards - 60 minutes' free waiting on airport pickups, with the flight tracked - Card, bank transfer or business account, with a VAT receipt --- ## Which way the driver goes The route from Holborn is not complicated. The timing of it is. The run is Kingsway and the A501 east, then the A10 and A406 to M11 Junction 4, which is about 35 miles and 1h 05m on a clear road. One stretch governs the whole trip: Kingsway and the City Road in both peaks. That is where 1h 05m turns into 1h 40m, and it is why we publish a peak number instead of pretending every hour looks alike. Holborn to the motorway is twenty minutes at 04:00. Re-routing is the driver's job, not your cost. A fixed fare means the traffic is our risk. --- ## Is the train quicker from Holborn? We would rather set this out than pretend the train does not exist. From Holborn the public transport route is the Central line to Liverpool Street, then the Stansted Express, with one change, and it runs about 55 minutes station to terminal. The fare is 24.50 pounds on the Express plus 2.90. The car is 1h 05m off-peak and 1h 40m at its worst, door to door, from anywhere in WC1V, WC2. On time alone the train is competitive, and if you are travelling light and alone it is a fair choice. Two things the timetable will not tell you. The first train is 04:40 from Liverpool Street and the last is 00:30, 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. Three is the number. Two travellers should take the train; three should not. The Saloon is a fixed fare of £170 or about £170 each between three. --- ## Stansted Airport: the kerb, both directions 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. If you are heading back to Holborn the driver is in position before you clear the hall. ### What happens when the flight is late 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 people who use this route Look at who books it and Holborn explains itself: the Inns of Court and the legal chambers, the Holborn media offices, LSE and the Covent Garden fringe. It makes for an unusually flat demand curve, and a lot of 04:00 work. If you are collected near Lincoln's Inn Fields, or anywhere else in WC1V, WC2, it is the same fixed fare. We do not zone the borough or add a surcharge because a street is awkward to reach. London Borough of Camden area, one price, quoted before you commit. --- ## Pre-dawn pickups in Holborn Stansted Airport front-loads its day, and Holborn feels that at four in the morning. A pre-dawn transfer behaves differently from the same trip at noon. The roads are the easy part - Holborn to the motorway is twenty minutes at 04:00. It is the first hundred metres that goes wrong, not the next thirty miles. 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. Which is why the booking form asks where exactly, not just where. 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. --- ## Holborn coverage, postcode by postcode We cover the whole of Holborn for this route: WC1V, WC2. 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. Buildings with their own set-down are straightforward. 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. --- ## Luggage, child seats and travelling as a group What separates the three vehicles is luggage, not luxury. A Saloon at £170 takes four passengers and two large cases. An MPV at £189 takes six and four large cases. An V Class at £306 takes seven and seven large cases. The mistake is counting seats and forgetting the boot. 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. --- ## Holborn to Stansted Airport: common questions How much is a taxi from Holborn to Stansted Airport? £170 in a saloon, £189 in a 6-seat MPV and £306 in a V Class. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking. Is it quicker than public transport from Holborn? Door to door the car is about 1h 05m off-peak. The rail alternative is Holborn to Stansted Airport plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back. Where does the driver wait at Stansted Airport? Meet and greet in the arrivals hall, or the short-stay pickup area. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand. Is the price affected by traffic or the time of night? No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill. What if the flight overruns? 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. How do I pay? Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way. Do you carry groups from Holborn? A 6-seat MPV is £189 and a V Class £306. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together. Is it worth booking Holborn to Stansted Airport ahead? Twenty-four hours is comfortable and gets you the vehicle you asked for. Same-day works when a car is free, but the early slots out of Holborn go first, so a 04:00 pickup is worth locking the night before. Can you really do it in 1h 05m? That is the off-peak figure for the 36.5-mile run and it holds outside the rush. In the peak the same road is 1h 40m, mostly because of Kingsway and the City Road in both peaks. We set the airport cutoff from the worse of the two, not the better one. What happens if we hit traffic? 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 Holborn 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. How do I pay, and is anything added at the end? Card, bank transfer or cash, and nothing is added at the end. The £170 Saloon fare from Holborn 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. Is the Stansted drop-off charge included in the fare? Yes. Stansted currently charges £10 for up to 15 minutes in its Express Set Down zone. That charge, and car park fees when we collect you, are already in your fixed fare, so there is nothing extra to pay on the day. --- ## Other London pickups for Stansted Airport Bank to Stansted Airport Barnet to Stansted Airport Battersea to Stansted Airport Bloomsbury to Stansted Airport Borough to Stansted Airport Brixton to Stansted Airport Bromley to Stansted Airport Camden to Stansted Airport Croydon to Stansted Airport Ealing to Stansted Airport Elephant & Castle to Stansted Airport Enfield to Stansted Airport Fitzrovia to Stansted Airport Green Park to Stansted Airport Hounslow to Stansted Airport Islington to Stansted Airport Kensington & Chelsea to Stansted Airport Kingston upon Thames to Stansted Airport Knightsbridge to Stansted Airport Lambeth to Stansted Airport Haringey to Stansted Airport Harrow to Stansted Airport Havering to Stansted Airport Hillingdon to Stansted Airport All Stansted Airport transfers Fares are fixed at booking and shown per vehicle.
