How our pricing works

Stansted Airport taxi prices with Stansted Airport Taxi are set per vehicle, not per passenger, and they do not move with traffic, time of day or demand. A saloon from Stratford (E15) to London Stansted Airport (STN) costs £64.70; from Hounslow (TW3), the furthest London area listed here, it costs £97.20.

Between those two, each London area we serve has its own fixed fare for every vehicle class, from a four-seat saloon to a 16-seat minibus. The tables below list all of them, and each area name links to that route's own page with journey times, pickup points and return-journey details.

Inside every fare

What does a fixed Stansted taxi fare include?

A fixed fare from Stansted Airport Taxi includes the airport's £10 drop-off charge, meet and greet on arrivals, flight monitoring and luggage within the vehicle allowance. Here is what that means on the day.

The £10 Stansted drop-off charge

Stansted charges £10 to drop off at the terminal forecourt since 19 March 2026. That charge is already inside every fare to the airport — nothing is added on arrival.

Meet and greet on arrivals

On journeys from Stansted, your driver meets you in the arrivals hall, so you are not hunting for a car in the pickup zone after a flight.

Flight monitoring

We follow your flight on pickups from Stansted. An early landing or a delay does not change the fixed fare you booked.

Luggage within the allowance

Cases and bags that fit the vehicle you chose travel at no extra cost. If you have more, a larger vehicle is the fix — not a surcharge.

The same fare at any hour

A 4am departure costs the same as a midday one. There is no surge pricing and no late-night premium on pre-booked journeys.

Door to terminal

Pickup at your door, set-down at the terminal. No change of trains, no carrying bags between platforms, no queue at a taxi rank.

Price factors

What changes a Stansted taxi price, and what never does?

Only distance and vehicle choice change a Stansted Airport Taxi fare. Once you have booked, the price is locked.

What sets your fare

  • Distance from your pickup address to Stansted Airport
  • The vehicle class you choose — saloon, estate, MPV, executive or minibus
  • Your exact address within an area, which the booking tool prices to the street

What never changes it

  • Traffic on the day, roadworks or a slow M11
  • The time of day or night you travel
  • A delayed or early flight on a Stansted pickup
  • How many passengers you carry, up to the vehicle's capacity
  • Luggage that fits the vehicle you booked

Compare your options

Is a taxi better value than the train or coach to Stansted?

For one traveller with a small bag living near Liverpool Street, the train is usually the cheaper choice. For two or more people, early flights or a lot of luggage, one fixed taxi fare split across the group is often the better value — and it starts at your door.

Questions

Stansted Airport taxi prices: frequently asked questions

Q:How much is a taxi from London to Stansted Airport?

A:A saloon taxi from London to Stansted Airport costs between £64.70 from Stratford (E15) and £97.20 from Hounslow (TW3) with Stansted Airport Taxi. Central London areas such as Westminster, Soho and Covent Garden cost £81.60 for a saloon. Every fare is fixed for the whole vehicle and includes the £10 Stansted drop-off charge.

Q:How are Stansted Airport Taxi fares worked out?

A:Each Stansted Airport Taxi fare is a minimum fare covering the first 5 miles, plus a per-mile rate for every mile beyond 5, plus the £10 Stansted drop-off charge. For a saloon, the minimum fare is £30.00 and the rate is £1.30 a mile, so a 31-mile journey from Camden costs £30.00 + (31 − 5) × £1.30 + £10.00 = £73.80.

Q:Is the £10 Stansted drop-off charge included in the price?

A:Yes. The £10 charge Stansted Airport has applied to terminal drop-offs since 19 March 2026 is included in every Stansted Airport Taxi fare to the airport. Nothing is added when you arrive.

Q:Is the fare the same from Stansted Airport back to London?

A:Yes. A pre-booked Stansted Airport Taxi journey from Stansted Airport to a London address costs the same fixed fare as the journey to the airport, and it includes meet and greet in the arrivals hall and flight monitoring.

Q:Will my fare go up if there is traffic or my flight is delayed?

A:No. A Stansted Airport Taxi fare is fixed when you book. Heavy traffic, roadworks, the time of day and a delayed or early flight on a Stansted pickup do not change the price.

Q:Which London area has the cheapest taxi to Stansted Airport?

A:Among the 37 London areas priced by Stansted Airport Taxi, Stratford (E15) has the lowest fare to Stansted Airport: £64.70 for a saloon, because it is about 24 miles from the airport. Hackney and Barnet follow at £67.30.

Q:Which vehicle should I book for a family or a group?

A:Choose by passengers and luggage. A saloon or estate suits up to 4 people, an MPV suits 5 to 7, the 8-Seater carries up to 8, and minibuses carry 10, 12, 14 or 16 passengers. The price is per vehicle, so a full MPV often costs less per person than two saloons.

Q:Do I pay extra for luggage?

A:No. Luggage that fits the vehicle you booked travels at no extra cost with Stansted Airport Taxi. If your bags will not fit a saloon, book an estate or an MPV instead — the larger vehicle's fixed fare is shown before you confirm.

Q:My London area is not listed. How do I get a price?

A:Enter your full address or postcode in the Stansted Airport Taxi online booking tool. It applies the same rate card to your exact journey and shows a fixed fare for each vehicle before you book.

Q:How do I pay for a Stansted Airport taxi?

A:You pay for a Stansted Airport Taxi journey when you book online, by credit card, debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The fare you pay at booking is the full price of the journey.
