Split between a couple or a family it usually works out the cheapest practical option — and for a 5am check-in it is often the only one.

All incoming flights are tracked, so a late arrival into Stansted Airport shifts your pickup automatically. The free hour of waiting counts from real touchdown.

Your driver parks close to the Stansted Airport terminal and contacts you when you land to arrange the exact collection point, so your arrival runs smoothly.

The first 60 minutes from touchdown are included. After that, waiting runs at £36 per hour or part thereof for 4-seat vehicles and £50 per hour for 5 seats and above. You can also pre-arrange a later pickup time, and waiting then only starts 10 minutes after the agreed time.

Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in the app, card in the car, or card over the phone. Stansted Airport work sits outside the local area, so the booking prepays by card.

Saloons for up to 4, estates when the luggage is the bigger passenger, 8-seaters for full groups. The fixed rate reflects whichever you choose.

Most customers book both legs in one go. The return is flight-tracked, so the car is timed to when you actually touch down at Stansted Airport rather than the timetable.

Dawn Stansted Airport departures are a Swift speciality. Dispatch runs all night, and a 3.30am car from Basildon gets booked and covered like any daytime job.

Book by the evening before and you are comfortably covered, particularly for early flights. Same-day Basildon to Stansted Airport runs are often possible too, so ring and ask.

It usually is. Pre-booking locks one fixed rate before you set off — generally better value than a metered or app-hailed car on the same run — and the car is guaranteed, 3am flights included. It also lets dispatch line up the right vehicle for your bags and your group.

More often than not — and the price never moves. Your Stansted Airport rate is fixed at booking: no surge in the rain, no jump in the small hours. App-hail pricing shifts minute to minute, and early-morning cars in Basildon can be thin on the ground. The rate we set is the rate you pay, with the car booked in, not hoped for.

Cancel with 24 hours notice and there is nothing to pay. Within 3 hours of pickup a quarter of the fare may apply, and a no-show after dispatch can be charged in full.
