How much is a minicab from Hackney Central?
One2One Cars uses fixed-fare pricing, not a meter. Hackney Central sits outside our published airport fare-table areas, so we don’t display a set figure for it here rather than quote a number we can’t stand behind. Your exact fare is confirmed upfront when you book, based on destination, vehicle and time of travel. Get a live quote at Book Now or call 020 7121 8888. All fares are governed by our Booking Terms and are a guide subject to change. For indicative airport pricing structure, see our Stansted transfers and London City Airport pages.
Station transfers
Hackney Central and Hackney Downs both sit on the Overground, handy for the City and beyond, but a pre-booked minicab lets you travel door-to-door with luggage or after the trains thin out late at night. For arrivals we can time your pickup; for departures we’ll get you there in good time. Book by phone, web or app.
