What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Your chauffeur arrives at your Balham address ahead of time, waits quietly, loads the cases and leaves to a plan built around your flight — not around when a driver happens to accept a job.
Timed to your flight
We work back from your departure: 1h 30–2h 05 on the road, plus your airline’s check-in window, plus a sensible margin.
One fixed price
Balham to Stansted Airport from £134 — agreed at booking, tolls and London charges inside.
The return, tracked
Book the way home too and we track your flight in — a name board in arrivals and 60 minutes of free waiting.
The fleet
Balham to Stansted from £134.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. The confirmed price covers the agreed itinerary; extra stops, changes or waiting beyond the allowance may cost more.

Leaving from Balham
Balham’s grid empties onto the A24 southbound — Gatwick in forty minutes, with Tooting’s curry mile a legitimate pre-flight detour.

About the neighbourhood
Du Cane Court’s deco bulk, Hildreth Street’s market and two commons within walking distance — Balham grew into its gateway-to-the-south joke and then outgrew it.

How much is a taxi alternative from Balham to Stansted Airport?
Our fixed chauffeur fare starts at £134 for a saloon — agreed when you book, with tolls and London charges included, whatever the traffic does.
What time should I be picked up?
The drive is typically 1h 30–2h 05; add your airline’s check-in window on top. Tell us the flight and we recommend a pickup time rather than leaving the maths to you.
Do you do very early pickups?
Constantly — the pre-dawn Stansted Airport run is the most-booked journey in Balham. Pickups between 10pm and 6am carry a 15% night supplement, shown in your quote; once booked, the fare is fixed.
What if my plans change?
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup, and time changes before that window cost nothing at all.
Can you also collect us on the way home?
Yes — book the return and we track your flight into Stansted Airport, meet you in arrivals with a name board, and include 60 minutes of waiting free.
How much luggage fits?
Two large cases in a saloon, four in an estate, and a full family holiday in an MPV — tell us the count and the right car arrives.
