Plenty of Stansted's first departures leave before 07:00, which is earlier than the first sensible train out of Cambridge. AlphaCEC fills that gap. Book a collection at 04:15, and an executive car will be outside, warmed up, with a driver who knows the quickest way onto the M11 at that hour.
For most Cambridge addresses, Stansted is about an hour away. We'll suggest a collection time based on your departure, normally allowing around two hours at the airport for European flights. You'll be dropped right at the terminal drop-off zone, so there's no shuttle bus from a long-stay car park and no parking bill when you get back.
Families often find the Estate the easiest option, since it seats four with cases. Solo business travellers usually take the saloon and make the most of a quiet hour to catch up on emails.
Stansted charges £10 to drop off at the terminal forecourt. We add it at cost and show it on your booking. The fare itself is fixed, so you know the full cost before you set off.
