In short
The journey from Stansted to Cambridge is 32 miles and takes 55–80 minutes by road, via M25 clockwise to M11.
A private car from Stansted Airport to Cambridge covers 32 miles in around 55–80 minutes, door to door, with no changes and no waiting for a connection.
The journey
Single terminal; driver meets you in the arrivals hall. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.
The route runs M25 clockwise to M11 — 32 miles in total, around 55–80 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.
One optional stop on the M11 corridor. At 32 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.
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
Single terminal; driver meets you in the arrivals hall. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. It is the longest of the four London airport runs from Surrey — the full width of the M25 plus the M11 — so departure timing matters more here than anywhere else.

On the road



In their words
“Booked a chauffeur for an early airport run and the car was outside five minutes before pickup. Smooth, quiet journey and the driver knew the fastest route around the roadworks.”
“We use XLNC Cars for client visits regularly. The vehicles are always spotless and the drivers are properly turned out — it reflects well on us, not just them.”
“Hired the VIP car for a wedding and it made the whole day feel special. Punctual, professional, and the driver waited patiently through the photos.”

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