City Airport to Cambridge Taxi Transfer — From £140 with APL Cars

Touching down at London City Airport (LCY) with Cambridge as your destination? APL Cars provides a refined, fixed-price chauffeur service from the capital's most central airport directly to the historic university city, with fares starting at just £140. London City is the airport of choice for finance professionals, consultants and corporate travellers — and our service is built around the schedules these passengers keep.

LCY's compact single-terminal layout is one of its biggest advantages: from wheels-down to kerbside is often under 15 minutes. Your APL driver will be waiting inside the Arrivals Hall, just past the baggage reclaim, holding a name board. There's no shuttle bus, no inter-terminal walk and no scramble for parking — simply a short, direct handover before we head north. We track your inbound flight in real time, so even if your service from Zurich, Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Edinburgh runs late, your driver adjusts automatically at no extra cost.

The drive from LCY to Cambridge typically covers around 70 miles in 90 minutes to two hours, depending on the time of day. From the airport in Royal Docks, we head north through the Silvertown Tunnel or along the A13, joining the M11 northbound at junction 4 for a clean, direct run up to Cambridge. The M11 corridor is generally the fastest route into the city, with congestion typically limited to the North Circular interchange and the M25 junction at peak times. Most journeys finish on the A14 or via Trumpington Road into the central colleges, Addenbrooke's, the Science Park or the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

This pairing is especially popular with executives travelling to meetings in the Cambridge tech and life-sciences cluster — AstraZeneca, ARM, the Babraham Research Campus — as well as academics arriving for conferences at the colleges. Our Executive Saloon and Executive MPV options offer Mercedes E-Class and V-Class comfort, ideal for working en route or arriving presentable.

Pricing is fully inclusive — parking, tolls, meet-and-greet and 30 minutes of complimentary waiting time are all built in. There are no surge fares, no card surcharges and no surprise extras. Free child seats are available on request, and cancellations more than 12 hours ahead are refunded.
