Stansted Airport Parking Types

Stansted has one large, main terminal, making navigation easy. Your parking choice comes down to a balance of budget and convenience.

Stansted Meet & Greet Discount: The Hassle-Free Option

This is the fastest and most convenient way to park at Stansted. It's ideal for anyone with heavy luggage, young children, or those who simply want a stress-free start to their journey.

How Meet & Greet Works:

• Drive to the Terminal: You'll drive to the designated "Meet & Greet" drop-off point (usually located within the Orange Short Stay car park, avoiding the drop-off charges).
• Meet Your Driver: A fully-insured, uniformed driver from our partner will be waiting for you. They'll confirm your details, do a quick vehicle check, and take your keys.
• Walk to Check-in: You are now just a 1-2 minute walk from the terminal entrance.
• On Your Return: After you've landed and collected your bags, you'll call the dedicated number provided. Your driver will meet you at the pick-up point with your car, ready for you to drive home.

Our 20% off voucher makes this premium service incredibly affordable, often costing less than the official Short Stay car park.

Stansted Park and Ride Discount: The Best Value for Money

This is the definitive cheap Stansted parking option. These car parks are located just a short shuttle bus ride from the terminal and offer secure parking for a fraction of the on-site price.

How Park & Ride Works:

• Drive to the Car Park: You'll navigate to the secure car park's address (not the airport terminal).
• Park & Shuttle: You will park your car in a bay, and a free shuttle bus will take you to the terminal. These buses run 24/7, typically every 15-20 minutes, and the transfer time is usually just 5-10 minutes.
• On Your Return: You'll return to the same bus stop where you were dropped off and take the shuttle back to the car park to collect your vehicle.

This is the perfect choice for budget-conscious travellers, and our DISCOUNT26 code makes it even cheaper.

Stansted Drop-Off & Pick-Up Charges

This is essential information for anyone driving to Stansted. The airport has a very specific (and expensive) drop-off system.

• Express Set Down (Terminal Forecourt): This is the most expensive option, intended for a "kiss and fly" drop-off.
• Price: £7.00 for up to 15 minutes. (Warning: It is £25.00 if you exceed 15 minutes).
• Payment: This is a barrier-less system. Cameras record your number plate, and you must pay online by midnight the day after you visit to avoid a fine.

• Pick-Up Zone: Picking up is not allowed on the forecourt. You must use the "Short Stay" car parks. The Orange Zone is the closest.
• Price: £10.00 for up to 30 minutes.

How to Drop Off at Stansted Airport for Free

Yes, there is a 100% free option for drop-off and pick-up.

• Location: The "Free Set Down" area is located in the Mid Stay Car Park.
• How it works: You can park in this dedicated zone for up to 60 minutes (1 hour) for free.
• The Catch: Your passengers must then take the free 24/7 shuttle bus to the terminal. The journey takes about 7-10 minutes. This is by far the best and most relaxed way to pick someone up or have a longer goodbye.

Accessible & Blue Badge Parking at Stansted

Stansted offers good facilities for passengers with reduced mobility.

• Blue Badge Holders: Please note that the Express Set Down (forecourt) is not free for Blue Badge holders; the £7.00 tariff applies. However, you can request assistance from a traffic marshal to avoid the "overstay" penalty if you need longer than 15 minutes to unload.
• Meet & Greet: This is often the simplest solution, as it removes the need for any buses.
• Park & Ride: All partner shuttle buses are fully accessible for wheelchairs.
• Short/Mid Stay Car Parks: For a fully free option, use the Mid Stay car park (1 hour free) which has accessible shuttle buses.

Other Discounts (Student, Senior & Military)

Our 20% off code is designed to be the best deal for everyone, saving you the time of searching for a niche discount.

• Stansted Parking Student Discount: We don't offer a specific student code, as our DISCOUNT26 voucher already provides a 20% saving, which is typically a larger discount.
• Senior / OAP Discount: To get the best price, simply pre-book your parking using our 20% off voucher.
• Military & Armed Forces Discount: As a thank-you, our 20% discount is available for all armed forces members.

"Official" vs. "Partner" Parking at Stansted

You'll see "Official Stansted Long Stay" or "Mid Stay" parking, and then partner car parks like those on our platform.

• Official Parking: These are owned by the airport. They are often well-run but carry a significant price premium for the "official" brand.
• Partner Parking: These are independent, specialist car parks (like our partner Britaincarparks.co.uk) located just outside the airport boundary. They are fully secure, often hold the 'Park Mark' award for safety, and compete on price and service.

With our 20% off code, our partner car parks offer far superior value for money, allowing you to save that cash for your trip.
