The Stansted drop-off fee is already included

Stansted's Express Set Down zone sits right next to the terminal, with check-in just minutes away. We use it for nearly every journey, and the £10 fee is already built into the fares above — so the price you see is the price you pay, with nothing extra to settle on the day.

For reference, Stansted's published Express Set Down charges are:

Time in the zoneCharge
Up to 15 minutes£10.00
Over 15 minutes£28.00
Maximum stay 30 minutes—

For pickups, your driver calls you once your flight has landed and stays in contact while you collect your bags. They'll only enter the Set Down zone when you're ready and tell you exactly where to find them — keeping it quick and well within the 15-minute £10 window.

Stansted terminal

One terminal, Express Set Down included

Stansted has a single passenger terminal with an Express Set Down zone right beside it. Your driver takes you straight there — check-in is just minutes away, and the £10 fee is already in your fare.

Departures — Express Set Down

The Set Down zone is right next to the terminal, so it's a short walk to check-in. The £10 fee (up to 15 minutes) is included in your fare.

📍 Drop-off: your driver takes you straight to the Set Down zone beside the terminal.

Arrivals — Pickup

Once you've landed and collected your bags, your driver brings the car into the same zone to meet you.

FAQ

Common questions

How far in advance should I book?
For early morning departures, we advise booking at least 24 hours ahead. For airport pickups, please book a minimum of 2 hours in advance so we can have a driver ready as you land. For most other journeys to the airport, we can often be with you within minutes — just give us a call.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight in real time. Your driver monitors the arrival time and adjusts accordingly. You receive 45 minutes free waiting time from the moment your wheels touch down — no stress about rushing through baggage reclaim.
Are the fares really fixed?
Yes, completely. The fare shown in your booking confirmation is what you pay — and it already includes Stansted's £10 drop-off / pickup fee, so there's nothing extra to settle on the day. The only variations are the published night, early morning and Sunday supplements, which are always confirmed up front when you book.
How many passengers and bags can you take?
Check out our main website for full details on our range of vehicles. For 8-seater minibus requirements, email us for a quote. Just let us know your group size and luggage when you book.
Can I pay by card?
Absolutely — and the easiest way to pay is through our app. Book, pay and track your driver all in one place, with every card type accepted including American Express. Download the Gilberts app and you'll never need to fumble for cash again.
Do you offer meet and greet?
Yes. For pickups, your driver calls you once your flight has landed and keeps in contact while you collect your bags and clear the terminal. When you're ready, they drive into the Express Set Down zone beside the terminal and tell you exactly where they are. It's quick, simple, and keeps you well within the 15-minute £10 window that's already included in your fare.
My town isn't in the fare table — do you cover it?
We cover a wide area across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and beyond. If your town isn't listed, just call us on 01494 771000 and we'll give you a fixed quote.
Are your drivers licensed?
Yes. All Gilberts drivers hold a Buckinghamshire Council private hire or hackney carriage licence and are DBS-checked. We're a fully licensed operator with over 60 drivers.
