We collect from Farnborough Airport and drive directly to Cambridge, 90 miles and about 1 hr 55 min to 2 hr 25 min. Your flight is tracked, so a delay moves the pickup rather than costing you the car.

The journey

The 90-mile run to Cambridge

  1. Arrivals

    Private aviation terminal — your driver can meet you on arrival at the FBO reception, or airside where the operator permits it. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.

  2. The road

    The route runs M25 clockwise to M11 — 90 miles in total, around 1 hr 55 min to 2 hr 25 min depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.

  3. On the way

    One optional stop on the M11 corridor. At 90 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.

  4. Arrival

    We drop wherever you need in and around Cambridge — the university colleges, Cambridge Science Park and Addenbrooke’s Hospital are all regular destinations. Door to door, with luggage carried to the entrance.

Meeting you

Arrivals, tracked

Private aviation terminal — your driver can meet you on arrival at the FBO reception, or airside where the operator permits it. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. Farnborough handles business and private aviation rather than scheduled flights, so there are no fixed timetables — departures move with the passenger, and ground transport is expected to match.

Every booking

What your fare covers

  • A fixed price agreed before you travel, which does not change if the roads are slow.
  • A licensed, CRB-checked chauffeur who is trained, insured and smartly presented.
  • Help with luggage at both ends, not just an unlocked boot.
  • Flight tracking, so your pickup time follows your actual landing time.
  • Comfort stops on the way where you want them — one optional stop on the m11 corridor.
  • The option of a return leg booked at the same time, quoted together.

Good to know

Farnborough Airport to Cambridge: your questions

How long does it take to get from Farnborough Airport to Cambridge by taxi?

1 hr 55 min to 2 hr 25 min, covering 90 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic.

How much is a taxi from Farnborough Airport to Cambridge?

We quote a fixed price before you book, based on the vehicle class and the time of travel, and it does not change if the traffic is bad. Call 01483 310310 or send the journey details through the booking form for a firm figure.

Where exactly do you drop off at Cambridge?

Directly at your destination address in Cambridge. Surrey to Cambridge by rail means crossing London with luggage. The car removes the cross-London leg entirely, which is most of the reason people book it.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track it. Your driver's pickup time moves with the flight, so a delay does not mean a missed car or a second fare. For departures, tell us your flight and we work the pickup back from it.

Can I book a return journey from Cambridge?

Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most Farnborough Airport customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
