Don’t be late – book a Stansted taxi

These days flying from London isn’t just about Heathrow and Gatwick. Airports like Stansted offer an alternative to these major hubs and this is where the budget carriers fly from. They offer some amazing deals to every corner of Europe, making travelling by plane much more accessible to a whole new audience. Visit Stansted on any day of the week and there’ll be a mix of business travellers and weekend trippers all keen to take advantage of those knock down fares.

Stansted is quite far out of central London. Most people assume that they have to use the bus or the train service to get out there, but this isn’t always practical. The best deals are always on flights at unsociable hours. There might not be a connecting service via public transport, which leaves the car as an option or a London taxi. The big drawback with taking the car is the parking charges. They soon mount up. Even for just a few days. So what about a taxi?

 If someone were to just hail one, jump in and travel all the way out to the airport on the meter, then they’d be in for a nasty surprise. The bill would be huge. But if they pre-book then it offers great value for money, especially if there’s a group of people looking to share.

 A Stansted taxi is just so convenient. There’s no need to lug all of those bags down to the station or the bus stop, just a friendly driver who turns up on cue and gives people a hand with their luggage. It’s a door to door service with no messing around and no hassle and it’s the perfect way to get to the terminal without rushing or getting stressed.

 A nightmare journey to the airport sets the tone for the whole trip. No one wants to be cutting it fine and just getting there as the gate closes. A relaxed taxi ride gets passengers there with time to spare. Refreshed and ready for their flight. Trains and buses are often late. They’re not always reliable. A taxi offers a degree of flexibility and convenience that public transport just can’t match.

 So anyone with a trip coming up should think carefully about their transport options. What sounds a little indulgent actually offers great value for money, especially if there’s a group of people who can share the cost. Business or pleasure, a taxi makes sense.

 For business travellers it means that they can stay in the office for a few hours longer instead of having to dash off early and take the train. On the way out they can field calls and emails because they don’t have to do the driving. For groups going away for the weekend or on a longer break, it’s a great way to get everyone organised and to make sure the whole party is at the airport on time ready for their flight and when people land again there’s no hanging around. After a long journey it’s great to be dropped back to the door.
