Stansted is the closest major airport to Essex — and the most frequently requested transfer in our service. A composed, unhurried journey conducted with the same standards regardless of the hour.
— No. 01 · Stansted Airport Transfer
London Stansted Airport sits just beyond the Essex border, making it the most naturally accessed of all London airports from any Essex address. For residents of Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester, Southend, and the smaller towns between, a chauffeur to Stansted is often less than an hour from door to departures.
Travel in Style Essex conducts private transfers to and from Stansted with the same considered standard applied to every journey — live flight monitoring, meet-and-greet at arrivals, a prepared vehicle, and a chauffeur who conducts the journey himself. Stansted's single terminal layout is known well; the approach roads, set-down arrangements, and short-stay parking have all been navigated hundreds of times.
For early-morning departures — the 5am or 6am flights that so many Stansted passengers face — we operate without surcharge. The car is prepared, the route planned, and you are at the terminal in good time. There is nothing to arrange on the morning itself.
The Mercedes-Benz V-Class is the flagship vehicle for group travel — accommodating seven passengers with full luggage capacity, ideal for families departing on holiday or groups travelling together. The S-Class and E-Class are available for solo and smaller-party transfers, both maintained to the same standard.

Stansted is also the airport most frequently used by Essex's business community for short-haul European flights. For these engagements, the journey to and from the terminal sets the tone. We ensure it sets the right one.
Stansted sits just beyond the Essex border. Most Essex addresses are within 45 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes — the most direct of all our airport transfers.
Your flight is tracked from booking through arrival or departure. Early-morning flights, late returns, and delayed arrivals all handled without conversation.
Early-morning Stansted departures — 4am, 5am — are entirely standard. No unsocial-hours surcharge on advance bookings. The service operates every hour of every day.
The V-Class accommodates seven passengers with full holiday luggage. One vehicle, without the complexity of multiple taxis.
— No. 02 · Terminal & Airport
Stansted operates from a single terminal, which simplifies the transfer considerably. Drop-off and collection points are clearly defined, and our chauffeur knows the layout — including the quieter approaches that avoid the busiest kerb areas at peak times.
The single terminal serves all airlines — Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, TUI, and others. Drop-off at the multi-storey forecourt; arrivals collection from the ground floor of the main terminal building.
Stansted operates almost continuously, with flights departing from 4am. We match its hours without surcharge — early collections, late returns, overnight arrivals all accommodated as standard.
For most Essex addresses, the journey to Stansted takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour 10 minutes in normal traffic — our fastest and most frequently conducted transfer.
— No. 03 · How a Journey Unfolds
Your booking is confirmed in writing within the hour. We note your flight number, terminal, passenger count, and any particular requirements — luggage, accessibility, or a preference for a quieter cabin.
From the moment of confirmation, your flight is placed under continuous monitoring. Delays, gate changes, and early arrivals are absorbed without conversation — the schedule adjusts quietly.
The vehicle is cleaned, fuelled, and prepared personally. Refreshments are arranged. A confirmation message is sent when your chauffeur is en route.
For outbound journeys, the car arrives at your address ahead of schedule. Luggage is loaded. Your route has been planned — alternatives identified. There is nothing left to arrange.
For inbound journeys, your chauffeur is present in the arrivals hall from the moment your flight lands — name board in hand. Waiting time for delayed flights is included at no charge.

— No. 05 · From Those Who Have Travelled With Us
"I booked as a 60th birthday treat for my husband — Thailand for Christmas and his birthday. I wanted him to arrive in style, and that is exactly what happened. Jamie loaded our bags, gave us a tour of all the facilities, and a gorgeous bottle of bubbly was on ice waiting for us. Chatty but not intrusive. Polite and funny. Very professional."

"Reliable, punctual and friendly service. We were going on a 40th birthday trip and all the little extras certainly made it even more memorable. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. First class service."

— Stansted · Your Chauffeur
Travel in Style Essex is not a fleet operation. There is one chauffeur: Jamie Gifford, who founded the service in 2019 and has conducted every journey personally since. When you make an enquiry, you speak to Jamie. When you are collected, it is Jamie at the door.
He holds an advanced RoSPA driving qualification, a clean PCO licence, and a DBS certificate. He drives as he attends to everything else — with composure, without hurry, and with the particular care of someone who takes pride in his work.
"The standard I hold myself to is simple: I ask whether I would be comfortable if the people I most respect could see exactly what I was doing and why. The answer is always yes."
