Taxi from Stansted
My son and his friend need a transfer from Stansted airport to a school in Saffron Walden which is 25km away. How much would a taxi cost for two persons with baggage?
(The school charges 60 pounds for the transfer. Is it acceptable?)

Seems high to me for that distance. You may want to ask for a quote from http://www.saffronwaldentaxis.com/

An alternative - you could drop him at Audley End station, which is only a couple of miles from SW, and he could get the Stansted Express.
It'll take only 10-15 mins from there and won't be too packed as it'll not be going on to London.

Pedants corner: it isn't actually the stansted express that goes from Stansted aiport to Audley End - there is a train service but the timings are rather less frequent than the stansted Express.
Taxi price seems a bit toppy to me for the distance.
