Stansted Airport information

Stansted Airport Parking logos

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.

Bit slow to arrive, we were in no rush so not a big problem but "meet and greet" doesn't work well if you're stood by your car for 20 mins despite having twice called ahead.... Faultless otherwise though and no issues on collection. Would recommend.

All ok until we are told we have to pay a £3.00 transfer fee "in cash, no cards accepted" which we find very strange..!!!.. Nothing was mentioned about this charge when booking online and we have never had to pay it in the past either. Funny how a good thing always has a little sting isnt it.??..

Bubble Park & Ride

Was left waiting outside the gate when we first arrived before they were finally opened. We were told where to park but then it was not clear what to do after that. When we did see the notice which told us how to book in the guys in the office were helpful enough but when we asked one of the drivers a question about the transfer (a journey which he must do several times a day) he said he didn't know and was not very helpful. Having said that, the transfer was very quick to the airport and when we returned we didn't have to wait long to be collected. I am going to say I would book this car park again because of the quick transfer time but it wouldn't be my first choice based on the whole customer experience.

I Love Park & Ride - Stansted

I dropped my car and keys off at reception and went into the minivan which took us to the airport in 5 minutes. We had to pay the £3 airport pickup/drop off fee. This was quick and easy. However when returning, I cleared customs and called them up. We then went to Zone C which we would expect to be picked up. We waited for over 30 minutes before they turned up to pick us up and another family who turned up seconds before. I would say that the service is good and easy to use however the lateness of the return pick up is a little disappointing. I will still recommend this service to people who has children, elderly or have lots of luggage as the van comes to pick you up at the airport, otherwise the other car parks are just as effective.

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.

If you're looking to make a booking to park more than one car at Gatwick then you can easily do this on our website. Simply enter your dates and times, choose the option that best suits you and when you click through to the booking form you'll have the option to "Add a car" and can make a booking for up to 5 vehicles at the same time.

Will I be charged to amend details of my Stansted Airport parking booking? 

Non-flexible bookings cannot be amended or cancelled.

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? 

We'll send you an email confirmation following your booking. This will confirm all the details of your booking, including a booking reference, so you can check that everything is ok.

If you didn't receive a booking confirmation email from us, please check your email provider spam/junk folder.

To re-send your booking confirmation, find your booking and select the 'Re-send booking confirmation' option.

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.

How can I get a copy of my confirmation voucher?

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.
