Peterborough to Stansted: route, journey time and drop-off
Stansted is the closest major London airport to Peterborough, and one of our most popular routes. The drive is around 70 miles, usually via the A1(M), the A14 past Cambridge and the M11, and takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. The A14 around Cambridge can be slow at weekday rush hours, so we plan extra time into your pickup.
Stansted has one terminal, so there is no terminal to choose. We drop you at the Express Set Down area, right next to the terminal building. Stansted charges £10 for a stop of up to 15 minutes there. With Ammar Cabs, this is already included in your fixed £88 fare, so there is nothing extra to pay.
Early-morning flights
Many Stansted flights, especially with Ryanair, the airport’s largest airline, leave early in the morning, and security can be busy during school holidays. Airlines usually advise arriving at least 2 hours before a European flight. Tell us your flight time and we will suggest a pickup time with time to spare. We run 24/7, so a 3am or 4am pickup from Peterborough is no problem.
Travelling as a group from different addresses? Ask for extra stops when you book, so we can plan the pickup order and make sure there is room for everyone’s luggage.
Stansted Airport to Peterborough pickups
Flying back into Stansted? Share your flight number when you book and we will keep an eye on your arrival time. Once you have your luggage, call your driver or our team. Depending on timing, we either collect you quickly from the Express Set Down next to the terminal (Stansted allows pickups there, but no waiting) or meet you in the Short Stay or Mid Stay car park. Your 30 minutes of free waiting starts from your actual landing time, so take your time at passport control and baggage reclaim.
For a standard pickup, we follow the airport’s rules: once you have collected your luggage, call your driver or our team and we will direct you to the pickup point. If you book our paid meet-and-greet service, your driver will wait for you in the arrivals hall holding a name board. Keep your phone switched on after landing so we can reach you.
Check Stansted Airport’s official travel information. Airport arrangements can change; follow the instructions confirmed for your booking.
Waiting time and flight delays
Choose your collection and waiting start time. You can request that waiting charges start 30 minutes or one hour after your flight lands, rather than using the default timing. Tell us your preferred timing when booking so we can confirm it and schedule the driver accordingly. The agreed waiting start time will be recorded in your booking confirmation.
Our team is available 24/7 by phone and WhatsApp. Call 01733 555 888 or send us a WhatsApp message for booking help, collection arrangements or changes to your plans.
Unless your booking confirmation states otherwise, airport collections include 30 minutes complimentary waiting from actual recorded landing time. After this, waiting may be charged at £0.30 per minute. Additional airport parking or access costs may apply where extra waiting is required.
Give us a valid flight number so we can use reasonable efforts to monitor your arrival. If your flight is delayed by more than two hours, the original driver and immediate collection are not guaranteed; contact us to agree revised arrangements. Let us know promptly if immigration or baggage reclaim is taking longer.

Choose a vehicle for passengers and luggage
Saloon (up to 4 passengers)
Covered by the fixed £88 fare: up to 4 passengers and 2 large suitcases, plus cabin bags. Perfect for couples and small families flying from Stansted.
6-seater MPV
Summer holidays mean more luggage. Choose an MPV for a family with several suitcases, a pushchair or sports equipment.
8-seater vehicle
Group holiday, stag or hen trip, or a family get-together? One 8-seater gets everyone to Stansted together. Book early for school holiday dates.
Need something bigger than a saloon? MPVs and 8-seaters have their own price, so ask us for a quote. Mention any child seats, pushchairs or wheelchairs at the time of booking and we will confirm what we can provide.
