Stansted Airport Transfers
The Stansted Express stops at 11:30pm and doesn't resume until 3:30am — Westway Ride runs all night, no surcharge, fixed fares from £150, meet & greet.
A Stansted airport transfer is a pre-booked private car that meets you inside the terminal and drives you door to door. London Stansted (STN) works from a single passenger terminal on the Essex and Hertfordshire border, directly off junction 8 of the M11. Westway Ride covers it under Transport for London licence 73850301.
The M11 corridor, not only London
Stansted is usually treated as a London airport that happens to sit a long way out, but it stands on the corridor between the capital and Cambridge, and for a great many passengers the destination is not London at all. Cambridge is both nearer and quicker to reach than central London, because the M11 runs clear where the approaches into town do not. Bishop's Stortford, Harlow, Saffron Walden, Chelmsford and the Hertfordshire towns are short runs for the same reason.
One terminal means one arrivals hall, so there is no question of which building to meet in, and your chauffeur waits there with a name board. The schedule here concentrates departures early in the morning, so pre-dawn pickups are routine rather than exceptional, and a car leaves at the hour you need rather than when the first train runs. Journeys into London and across every other airport we cover are booked the same way.
Travel Time, Distance & Pricing
A Stansted Airport (STN) transfer to central London typically takes about 90 minutes, depending on traffic, over roughly 38 miles. Your chauffeur watches live traffic and takes the fastest route, and because your fare is fixed before you travel, delays never cost you more. Stansted fares start from £155 for a Mercedes E Class, set by distance from the Westway price sheet and shown in full before you book, meet and greet, flight tracking, parking and standard tolls all included, with no surge pricing.

From booking to drop-off, everything was smooth and professional. The driver arrived on time, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the ride was incredibly pleasant. The customer service team was responsive and helpful, making sure all my questions were answered before the journey. What stood out most was their punctuality and the courteous behaviour of the driver — polite, well-dressed, and knew the best routes to avoid traffic. I highly recommend West"

questions
Everything you need to know about your transfer.
Fares start at £155 in a Mercedes E Class and are fixed when you book. The price comes from our published distance sheet and covers parking and standard tolls. Larger vehicles carry their own rate, and nothing is added afterwards for traffic or the hour you travel.
No, there is a single passenger terminal, so every flight arrives into the same hall whichever airline you have flown with. That makes the meeting point straightforward, and it is why we only need your flight number rather than a terminal.
About 90 minutes for roughly 38 miles, usually via the M11 and then the North Circular or the A10 depending on your destination. Because the fare is fixed before you travel, a slow run costs you time rather than money.
Yes, noticeably. Cambridge is both closer and faster from Stansted, because the M11 runs clear most of the way while the approaches into London slow down at almost any hour. If you are heading north rather than south, the journey is far shorter than passengers expect.
Yes, on every arrival. Your chauffeur parks, comes into the arrivals hall with a name board and helps with the bags to the car. The parking cost is inside the fare rather than added afterwards.
Nothing changes and nothing extra is charged. Your driver holds the flight number and follows the live landing time, so a delay simply moves the pickup. An early arrival usually means the car is already waiting.
Up to 60 minutes from touchdown as standard. That window covers passport control and baggage reclaim, which is where the time goes at Stansted rather than in the walk to the car.
Yes, and it is routine here. Stansted concentrates a great many departures early in the morning, so pre-dawn pickups are normal work for us. Book ahead for these slots, since fewer drivers are on the road at that hour than at midday.
Fixed. The quote is confirmed before booking and does not move with traffic, waiting or demand. No meter runs while you sit still, and there is no surge pricing at busy times.
Cambridge, Bishop's Stortford, Harlow, Saffron Walden, Chelmsford, Colchester and the Hertfordshire and Essex towns are all regular journeys, along with central London and Canary Wharf. One driver covers the whole route at an agreed price.
Yes. A Mercedes V-Class seats up to 7 and a Vito up to 8, both with luggage space to match, and minibuses handle 16 and beyond. Tell us passengers and cases when booking so the vehicle is matched to both.
Yes, free of charge. Give us the ages when you book so the correct seat is fitted before the car sets off, since it cannot be arranged once the driver is on the way.
Yes. Stansted to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, London City and Southend are all regular bookings, often when a connection leaves little margin. The inbound flight is tracked so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the schedule.
From three hours before pickup at the earliest, the minimum needed to confirm a driver and vehicle. Book earlier for an early morning departure or a larger vehicle, since those fill first at this airport in particular.
