Private chauffeur and transfer service from London Stansted Airport (STN) to central London, Cambridge, and the East of England.

Flight tracking, meet and greet, fixed price confirmed before you fly.
London Stansted Airport (STN) — The 24-Hour Gateway
London Stansted Airport (IATA: STN) is located approximately 40 miles (64 kilometres) northeast of central London in Essex, operating as a major commercial hub for Ryanair (its largest single base anywhere) and easyJet, alongside a substantial and frequently underestimated private aviation operation. Stansted is the closest major airport to Cambridge, and its 24-hour, no-curfew operation makes it uniquely flexible for travellers and operators whose schedules don't respect conventional office hours.
The Stansted Express provides the fastest connection into central London, reaching Liverpool Street Station in approximately 45 to 50 minutes, with departures every 15 to 30 minutes. For solo travellers with light luggage, this is an efficient option. For groups, executives with luggage, time-critical schedules, and any destination requiring confirmed door-to-door delivery, private chauffeur remains the standard for Stansted's substantial business and private aviation clientele.
How It Works
- Flight tracking — your driver monitors your flight from departure, adjusting to your actual landing at no extra charge
- Meet and greet inside the terminal — your driver waits at the arrivals exit with a name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts you to the vehicle
- Single terminal — straightforward arrivals with no inter-terminal confusion
- Fixed price confirmed in advance — no meter, no surcharge
- Door to door — directly to central London, Cambridge, or any UK destination, any hour of the day or night

Private Jet & VIP Terminal — Stansted
Stansted's private aviation infrastructure is genuinely underestimated by clients who associate the airport purely with its high-volume Ryanair operations — but it should not be. The private jet facilities at Stansted are entirely separate from the main commercial terminal, with four independent FBOs, each maintaining its own lounges, customs handling, and ground crew, all operating 24 hours a day with no curfew restrictions — a uniquely flexible offering among London's private aviation airports. Stansted's runway, at 3,048 metres, is the longest of any private jet airport in the London area, capable of unrestricted operations for the largest private aircraft, including Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets, and is frequently the airport of choice for long-haul private jet arrivals from the United States and Asia.
The four FBOs at Stansted are: Harrods Aviation, offering its established full suite of executive aviation services; Inflite Jet Centre, a dedicated business aviation specialist with comprehensive ground handling; Universal Aviation, providing both short-term secure hangarage and long-term parking, repositioning, and storage solutions for operators with extended UK requirements; and XJET, which operates the striking Diamond Aviation Hub hangar — one of the most architecturally distinctive private aviation facilities in the country. This depth of FBO choice, combined with the longest runway and unrestricted 24/7 operation, makes Stansted a serious contender for any private aviation client whose aircraft category, arrival time, or operational requirement rules out Farnborough's curfew or Biggin Hill's shorter runway.
Blackcars provides dedicated chauffeur coordination across all four Stansted FBOs, with drivers experienced in the specific protocols of each facility and ready to position vehicles for direct tarmac-side collection at any hour, day or night.
