Stansted Airport is just 30 miles from Cambridge, making it the closest major airport to the city. But what is the best way to get there — taxi or train?
The Train Option
The Stansted Express runs from Cambridge to Stansted Airport in approximately 30 minutes and costs around £20–£30 each way. However, you still need to get to Cambridge station, manage your luggage on a busy train, and there is no flexibility if your plans change.
The Taxi Option
A private taxi from Cambridge to Stansted costs from £77 (Standard) with Executive Line Chauffeurs. This is door-to-door service from your home or hotel directly to the terminal, with free flight tracking and fixed pricing.
Our Verdict
For families, groups, business travellers, or anyone with significant luggage, a private taxi offers far better value when you factor in the total door-to-door cost and convenience. Call us on +44 1223 73 72 72 to book.
