The journey
Stansted is around 35 miles from our Basildon base, depending on the route, roughly 45 minutes by car off-peak, longer when the A127 or M11 build up. The way in is the A127 to the A130, then up to the A120 and into Stansted, with the M11 the usual final approach at Junction 8, and if traffic favours it, the M25 to the M11 north is the alternative.
Your driver knows the road and tracks your flight, and the fixed fare does not change no matter what the M25 is doing.
Terminals
Stansted runs from a single passenger terminal, so there is no terminal to pick between like at Heathrow or Gatwick. Tell us your airline when you book and your driver takes you to the right door.

The Short Stay car parks are around £70 per 24 hours if you just turn up and park. A fixed return with Value Cars is one set price, door to door, with no parking to find or pay for.

Since 19 March 2026 Stansted charges £10 to drop off in the Express Set Down area outside Departures for stays up to 15 minutes, and £28 for longer. Free drop-off stays are available in the Mid Stay car park with a shuttle to the terminal. Those charges are set by Stansted, not by us. With a booked car you are dropped right at the terminal, and there is nothing for you to pay at the airport.
