London Stansted Airport, currently Britain's fourth busiest airport, first opened its doors to commercial passengers in 1986. Situated in Essex, it is less than a mile from the Hertfordshire border and approx. 30 miles northeast of Central London, but is easily reached by car as it is just off the M11.

There are three passenger satellites in which the departure gates are situated; one is connected to the main terminal by an air-bridge and the other two by the Stansted Airport Transit System people mover.

The airport is currently owned and operated by the Manchester Airports Group (MAG) who bought it in 2013 from the BAA. With more scheduled European destinations than any other UK airport, it is popular with both the budget and charter airlines with Easyjet and Ryanair flying from Stansted as well as other well-known airlines such as Thomson Airways and Thomas Cook.

I've used this car park twice now and am quite pleased with their service and they are the cheapest around(that I could find). This time we had to wait a little bit long to be collected at the airport and then again inside the shuttle bus, but would still recommend and would use again.

Maple Park & Ride

Car dropoff was OK but on phoning to be collected we were told the pickup vehicle runs up and down so just go to the pickup point and wait till there is space. The pickup point is not under cover, it was freezing cold and we had to stand in line over 20 mins so as not to loose our place as the vehicle that came filled quickly so we had to wait for it to return. We have used other offsite airport parking services at Stansted and other airports over many years and Maple were the first to leave us waiting for a second attempt at pickup. So we were not impressed on our first time using them.

Is there a discount for booking for more than one car? 

There isn't a discount for booking more than one car but if you have a discount code or promotional email offer then this will be applied to all the cars on the booking.

Flexible bookings can be amended without incurring an amendment fee, however if the amendment results in a price increase ( e.g. a date change), you will be required to pay the additional amount.

You can request the amend by going to our help section and clicking on Amend Booking.

What is the Park Mark® Award? 

Holders of the Park Mark® award have been risk assessed by a crime prevention officer from the local police. The Safer Parking Scheme is an initiative of the Association of Chief Police Officers and is managed by the British Parking Association.

How will I know that my booking has been confirmed?

Do I need to print my parking confirmation voucher? 

It is important to have access to your Booking Confirmation, but you don’t have to print it. You must however ensure it is fully visible on your phone or device, so you can see all the information, directions and procedures you need to follow.

Why is a weeks’ parking calculated as 8 days? 

Most car parks charge per day or part thereof, i.e. they count the day you enter the car park and the day you leave. That means a 7 night trip is 8 calculated as days parking and a 14 night trip will be 15 days parking.

How early do I need to drop off my car to get to the Airport on time? 

This will depend on the car park you book, but we recommend that you arrive to drop the car off at least minutes 30 minutes prior to your earliest check-in/bag drop time. 

Can I turn up at any time for my meet and greet? 

The 'parking from' time on your confirmation is the time slot the car park has allocated you, so it’s important to let us know if you need to change the time, if its more than 24 hours before you are due to park. If it is less than 24 hours before your meet is due, you should call the chauffeurs using the number on your confirmation voucher.

How can I change my booking? 

Vehicle Details We can update vehicle details at any point. There is no charge for amending vehicle details.

Dates & Times Most bookings can be changed up to 24 hours before the booked arrival date. However, if you have booked an option marked as Non-refundable or Saver then the dates and times on these options cannot be amended and the booking cannot be cancelled. We are unable to amend details with 24 hours of your booked arrival date.
