How does Mid Stay parking work?

Say goodbye to stressful planning and parking, and follow these 4 simple steps:

  1. Book in advance: The Mid Stay car park at London Stansted Airport is pre-book only, so remember to book your space ahead of time.

  2. Park up: On the day just drive up. Our ANPR system will recognise your vehicle’s number plate and open the barrier (no tickets required). Choose a space, park up, and lock your vehicle.

  3. Head to the nearest bus stop: Our free shuttle bus service runs 24/7, and it’s just a 7-minute journey to the terminal building.

  4. When you return: Find your vehicle right where you left it. The barrier will recognise your number plate again when you leave, and you can just drive away.
