Nottingham to Stansted Airport, via the M11.

Nottingham to Stansted is about 120 miles and roughly two and a half hours, south on the A1 and across on the A14 and M11. It is a long cross-country run rather than a motorway one. Fixed fare here, or call +44 20 8050 9020.

The Nottingham to Stansted route

South east on the A52 and A1, then east on the A14 past Cambridge and south on the M11 to Stansted. Around 120 miles and about 155 minutes.
The notable thing about this route is how little of it is motorway. The A1 is dual carriageway with roundabouts in places, and the A14 carries heavy freight between the Midlands and Felixstowe. Both are good roads, but neither runs at motorway speed reliably, which is why the time is longer than 120 miles suggests.

Leaving time for your flight

Two and a half hours is enough that the departure hour genuinely matters. Overnight and very early the run is quick. Through the working day the A14 in particular can be slow, and an incident on it has few alternatives.
For an early Stansted departure, this often means a pickup in the small hours. That is routine for us and worth planning properly. Tell us your flight and we will suggest a time rather than leaving you to add a margin to a satnav estimate.

What tends to affect the time

The A14

Heavy freight traffic and the main variable on this route.

The A1 around Peterborough and Huntingdon

Roundabouts and speed changes.

M11 junction 8

The Stansted exit, busy in the early morning rush.

Winter weather

Fen roads are exposed and fog is common on the A14 and A1 corridor.

Coming back

Your driver meets you inside arrivals at Stansted with a name board. This is our optional meet and greet service. If you'd rather not add it, your driver phones you once you're on the ground to agree where to meet. We track the inbound flight, so a delay moves the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free. On a journey of this length that flexibility matters, because the alternative after a delayed landing is a train with two changes.

Practical details

Two and a half hours warrants a comfortable vehicle. An MPV is worth it for four with luggage, the eight seater for a group, and we will build in a stop if you want one.

Arriving at Stansted

Stansted has a single terminal, which makes it simpler than the multi-terminal airports, but the drop-off sits a short walk from the doors and is strictly a set-down rather than a place to wait. The driver will help with the bags and see you to the entrance.

On the way back

For the return leg the driver tracks your inbound flight and meets you inside arrivals with a name board, with waiting time included while you clear the terminal. Stansted handles a lot of early and late traffic, and bag reclaim can be slow when several aircraft land together, so the meet is based on the flight rather than the clock.

Early departures

Stansted runs a heavy schedule of very early flights, which for a long-distance pick-up can mean setting off in the middle of the night. That is routine for us. Give us the flight number and we will suggest a departure time rather than leaving you to work it out.

Timing a long transfer

On a journey of this length, the variable that matters is not distance but the motorway network on the day. We build the likely conditions into the time we agree rather than quoting a best case, and the fare is fixed when you book, so a slow stretch costs you time but never money.

How much margin to allow

For a flight, work back from the check-in time your airline has set rather than the departure time. Tell us the flight number and we will propose a pick-up. Most people would rather sit in the terminal with a coffee than watch the clock on the motorway.

Breaks, luggage and child seats

There are services on every one of these routes if you want to stop, which is worth knowing with children in the car. Tell us the number of cases as well as passengers so the right vehicle turns up, and ask for child or booster seats when you book so we bring the correct ones.
