Book NowArriving at Stansted Airport - Your Pick-Up
Stansted Airport operates from a single, modern terminal, which makes meeting your driver simple after landing. Once you clear passport control and collect your bags, follow signs through the arrivals hall toward the main exit, where your driver will already be waiting with a name board.
Contact details are sent ahead of time, so if the arrivals hall is busy a quick call or text will connect you. Luggage assistance is included with every booking, and there is no need to rush. Free waiting time is built in, giving you space to gather yourself and your bags before heading out.
Tracking Your Flight
Every transfer includes live flight tracking, so the driver knows your actual landing time rather than the scheduled one. If your flight lands early the car is already there, and if it runs late the pick-up simply shifts to match, at no extra cost.
The Journey to Norwich
Route and Motorway Details
Leaving the airport, the route follows the A120 toward Birchanger Green before joining the M11 at Junction 8. From there the driver heads north, picking up the A11 near Cambridge, which carries the journey through Suffolk and into Norfolk on largely dual carriageway roads.
The A11 was fully upgraded to dual carriageway between Thetford and Norwich in December 2014, removing what used to be a notorious single-lane bottleneck. On a clear run outside peak hours the transfer reaches Norwich in around 90 minutes from the terminal.
Weekday mornings around the Cambridge interchange can bring slower traffic, and the Thickthorn junction where the A11 meets the Norwich southern bypass sometimes sees queues during the evening rush. Drivers monitor conditions and adjust timing accordingly.
Passing Through Suffolk and Norfolk
Along the way the route skirts Newmarket, well known for horse racing, before continuing through Thetford and its surrounding forest. Attleborough marks the final stretch before the road opens out toward the Norwich southern bypass and the approach into the city.
Arriving in Norwich - Where We Drop You Off
Our drivers cover every corner of Norwich and the surrounding villages. Popular drop-off points in the city centre include the area around Norwich Cathedral, the cobbled lanes of Elm Hill, and the shops of The Lanes and Chapelfield. Hotels near the railway station and riverside are regular destinations too.
Passengers travelling to the University of East Anglia or the nearby Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital are taken directly to the campus, which sits on the western edge of the city. The adjoining Norwich Research Park is a frequent destination for academic and scientific visitors.
Residential areas including Thorpe St Andrew, Eaton, and Sprowston are covered on every booking. Simply provide the full postcode when reserving and the driver will take the most direct route available.
Ideal for Business Travellers, Students and Groups
A private transfer suits business travellers heading to meetings at the Norwich Research Park or in the city centre, since the journey time can be used productively without the interruptions of a shared coach or train change. Free onboard time means calls and preparation are never wasted.
Families arriving with young children benefit from pre-fitted car seats and a driver already in position regardless of delays. Groups travelling for a UEA graduation, open day, or a Norwich City match at Carrow Road often choose the minibus so everyone arrives together.
Rather than splitting into several taxis or coordinating separate train tickets, the whole party travels together in one vehicle from the terminal straight through to the accommodation or event venue in Norwich, with luggage space to match.
What Happens If My Flight Is Delayed?
We monitor live flight data and adjust pick-up times automatically. If your arrival is delayed, your driver will be informed in real time and will be waiting for you when you land. There are no additional charges for delays caused by flight disruptions.
Need the return journey?
We also provide a dedicated Norwich to Stansted Airport taxi transfer service. Book both directions for a seamless round-trip experience.

What Our Customers Say
Landed late after a delayed connection and the driver had already adjusted for it. Smooth run up the A11 and dropped right outside the Research Park building for my meeting with time to spare.
- Michael T., business trip to Norwich Research Park
Came back from two weeks in Faro with two teenagers and far too many bags. The MPV swallowed everything and the driver helped load it all without any fuss at all.
- Helen K., arriving from Faro
Booked the minibus for a graduation weekend at UEA for my daughter. Eight of us travelled together from the terminal straight to the hotel, no splitting into separate cars or working out timings.
