Local knowledge
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall at Stansted with a name board and helps with the luggage before the direct run to Central London.
Every road toll — and, where the route applies, the London Congestion Charge and ULEZ — is inside your price.
The Central London road runs about 75–100 min from Stansted. It firms up through the morning and evening peaks, so for a tight schedule an off-peak slot is worth aiming for.
Heading back to Stansted later? Book the return and we time the pickup at Central London to your check-in cut-off, at the same fixed fare.
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
This is a journey where the outcome is decided before you land — whether the driver watched the flight, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is actually standing in arrivals at Stansted when you walk through. On the Central London run we settle all three in advance: the flight is tracked from departure, the fare from £85 is fixed, and a named chauffeur is waiting with a board.
The drive takes roughly 75–100 min. Your driver reads the live traffic on the Central London approaches and routes around the worst of it. Every toll, and the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where they apply, sits inside the fare — there is nothing to settle at the kerb.
