Route at a glance

London Stansted (STN) is Ryanair's biggest UK base, which means a lot of very early departures and very late arrivals. Our fixed-price Nottingham to Stansted Airport taxi starts at £130 for a standard saloon — door to terminal in about 2h15, with the set-down charge already in the fare.

The route avoids London entirely, so it is one of the more predictable southern runs. We cover Nottingham, Derby and the surrounding towns, and we run 24/7 for the 4am and 5am Ryanair waves when the trains simply aren't running.
