Park up and walk in

  • No need to hand over keys – park up and keep hold of them
  • It's a 7 to 10-minute walk to the terminal
  • Entry and exit are automatic – no fuss
  • Strong security features – CCTV, floodlighting, barriers and patrols

Parking's short and sweet here: park, lock and walk to check-in. Your number plate opens the barrier, and you keep your keys while you're away. It's quick, easy, and you'll be at the terminal in under 10 minutes.

Need to know

Drive up to the barrier and your number plate will be picked up automatically. The barrier will lift, so you can head in and park in any space – keep your keys while you're away.

It's a 7 to 10 minute walk from the car park to the terminal.

When you're back, just walk to the car park, hop in your car and drive to the exit. The barrier will lift on its own.

The postcode for satnavs and a link for what3words will be in your booking confirmation to make your journey easier.

Accessibility

You'll find Blue Badge bays available on in Sky Zone, Row 18. They're on a first-come, first-served basis – remember to display your badge while you're away.

Security

Your car's in safe hands. The car park is secured by:

  • CCTV
  • Floodlighting
  • Security barriers
  • Regular staff patrols
  • Entry and exit barriers

The small print

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period of 6 hours at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £67 per day, which is subject to change.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).

Our prices are lower than what you'd usually pay at the airport, but the shortest stay we offer is 24 hours. If you're parking for less time, it might be cheaper to pay on the day. We can't refund the difference if the price at the car park turns out to be less than what you paid with us.

Getting to and from Stansted airport

Arriving at the airport

Drive to the barrier – the entrance is immediately next to the big blue car park sign – and your number plate will be recognised. The entry barrier will lift automatically, so you can drive in and park in any space – you can even keep hold of your keys while you're away.

From the car park, it takes 7 to 10 minutes to walk to the terminal.

Returning to the airport

On your return, walk back to the car park from the terminal. Collect your car and drive to the exit barrier, which will lift automatically.
