A chauffeur from Stansted to Central London is a calm finish to a journey that often starts very early or ends very late. Stansted serves many short-haul and leisure routes, and after an evening flight the last thing you want is a crowded platform and a second journey to your hotel.
Wings Chauffeur Ltd provides private Stansted transfers around the clock, with meet and greet in arrivals, flight tracking and a fixed price agreed before you travel.
One terminal, one familiar face
Stansted has a single terminal, which makes meeting simple. Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals area with a name board, takes your luggage and walks with you to the car.
We follow your flight, so the pick-up time moves with your actual landing time. Complimentary waiting time is built in for passport control and baggage reclaim.
Room to relax
After a busy airport, the inside of a quiet car feels like a different world. Choose the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or S-Class for comfort, the Range Rover for extra space, or the V-Class for families and groups with plenty of luggage.
