A3, M25, M11
Up the A3 to the M25 at junction 10, clockwise round to junction 27, then north on the M11 to junction 8A.
Guildford to London Stansted is 87 miles, 110–140 minutes by road, round the M25 and up the M11. MiCabi sends one pre-booked car from your door to the terminal, with the fare agreed before you travel, and on the way home the driver follows your flight in.
Of the five London airports, Stansted is the one furthest from Guildford, out in Essex on the far side of the capital. That distance is a good reason to book the car ahead rather than juggle trains. Every booking comes with these.
Up the A3 to the M25 at junction 10, clockwise round to junction 27, then north on the M11 to junction 8A.
Stansted has a single passenger terminal, so drop-off and collection happen at the same building.
For the homeward leg the office tracks the flight number, so an early landing or a late one reschedules the car.
Collections include 45 minutes' free waiting, so passport control and the carousel are not a race.
On a drive this long, you can ask for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, our executive saloon with a leather interior.
The large MPV takes up to 8 passengers in one vehicle. Tell us how many bags you are bringing when you book and we will confirm the right vehicle.
It suits people whose airline or destination only works from Stansted: a low-cost fare, or a route that Heathrow and Gatwick do not fly. Want to check something first? Contact us.

With around 87 miles of road between Guildford and the terminal, a meter would leave you guessing. We quote one figure instead, and a slow patch on the northern M25 does not add to it once you have accepted.
Your Guildford address and the time you need collecting are where the quote begins.
A saloon, the E-Class or an MPV: the vehicle accounts for the rest of the fare.
You get the fare in writing by WhatsApp or email, and traffic on the day does not change it.

What Guildford travellers ask before booking a car to London Stansted, answered from the measured route and from how our office takes bookings. If your question is not here, send it on WhatsApp.
Allow 110–140 minutes. The shorter figure is an early-morning run on empty motorways; the longer one reflects ordinary weekday traffic on the M25 north of Heathrow. For a morning flight we plan your pickup from the longer figure.
