Airport parking made simple

Travelling as a couple and making new memories is simply the best – whether you’re escaping for a romantic weekend away or backpacking around Asia for that once in a lifetime trip.

When planning your holiday, it can be easy to overlook airport parking. It might not be the most glamorous part of the trip, but booking in advance can save you time and money, as well as giving you peace of mind. So let's take a look at the great parking options on offer at London Stansted Airport.

Choose the right parking option

There are Short Stay, Mid Stay and Long Stay parking options, and we'll help you find the right one for your trip and budget.

We’re going on a… weekend getaway

Booking in advance

If you want to get the best deal on your parking, it’s super important to book as early as possible! Prices can increase closer to your trip due to limited availability, so get in quick. You can save up to a massive 80% on the turn up price.

Not only will you save money, but getting organised ahead of time will also give you a much smoother run-up to your holiday.

If you're already registered, your partner can sign up so you get the maximum discount. That's less money on parking, and more spending money for your trip - it's a win-win.

Early flight, or live far from the airport? Wouldn’t it be great to just stroll into the terminal before your flight without having to even travel! Make this a reality by staying in one of our fantastic airport hotels – wake up just minutes’ away from our terminal.
