Stansted Parking Options
There are several Stansted Airport car parking options, even though the airport has just 1 passenger terminal. Choose a shuttle car park if price is your priority, a Short Stay car park if you would rather walk, or a leave-keys service if you want the team to park for you.
JetParks: straightforward Park and Ride
JetParks is often a good place to start if keeping the price down is your priority. Park in an available space, keep your keys and take the included shuttle to the terminal. Buses run every 20 minutes and the journey takes around 15–20 minutes, so remember to allow for the possible wait.
Long Stay and Mid Stay: keep your keys
Long Stay has an included 15-minute shuttle, with buses running every 15 minutes. Mid Stay is higher-priced than Long Stay, but its buses run every 10 minutes and the transfer takes around 7 minutes. At both car parks, you find a space, park and keep your keys.
Short Stay: park and walk
Choose Short Stay Blue for a 7–10-minute walk to check-in. Short Stay Green Multi Storey is around a 4–7-minute walk away via a covered walkway. There is no shuttle or key handover with either option.
Official Meet and Greet: hand over your keys, then walk
With Official Meet and Greet, you drive to the designated Meet and Greet area and hand your keys to the team. They park your car while you take the 2–3-minute walk to the terminal. Check your booking confirmation for the exact arrival route and meeting point.
Valet: drop off closest to check-in
Valet gives you the shortest walk to check-in. Drive to the terminal drop-off point, hand over your keys and walk to check-in in around 2 minutes. The team parks your car for you, and your return instructions will be included in your booking confirmation.
Book with added flexibility thanks to Free Cancellation. Check the cancellation deadline for your chosen parking before you confirm.

Ways to save on Stansted Airport parking
The price of Stansted parking changes with your dates, length of stay and the type of service you choose. Search for your trip first so you can compare the current prices side by side.
Book before you travel
Airparks only sells pre-booked parking, helping you secure a space before you travel. If you arrive without a booking, London Stansted Airport may offer pay-on-arrival parking at Mid Stay, Short Stay Blue or Short Stay Green, subject to availability. The airport sets and collects those charges. JetParks, Long Stay, Official Meet and Greet and Valet must be booked in advance.
Pay for the convenience you need
JetParks is often a good place to start if keeping the price down is your priority. If speed matters more, compare it with Mid Stay, the walkable Short Stay car parks, Official Meet and Greet and Valet. Looking at the complete journey can help you avoid paying for a shorter walk or transfer that you do not need.
Book early without losing flexibility
The packages listed include Free Cancellation, giving you the option to secure a price while keeping some flexibility. Always check the cancellation deadline and conditions for the package you select. Our Never Beaten on Price policy also applies subject to its terms.

There is no free parking for the duration of a holiday.

Check the airport's latest pick-up and drop-off information before travelling because the location and time limits can change.

Yes. The Stansted parking packages listed include Free Cancellation. Check the cancellation deadline and conditions shown with your selected package before completing your booking.
If you leave after the return time on your booking, an additional parking charge may apply. Late Return Cover is available with selected packages and can cover eligible charges when a verified delay causes your late return. Check the cover and grace-period details shown during booking, and keep your booking confirmation handy while you travel.
Yes, accessible and Blue Badge spaces are available at several official Stansted car parks. The location of the spaces, walking route and shuttle arrangements vary, so check the accessibility details for your chosen product before booking. If you need assistance inside the airport, arrange this separately with your airline. You can also read Stansted Airport's current Blue Badge parking guidance.
Vehicle restrictions vary between car parks. Before booking a van, pick-up or larger vehicle, check the individual product details for maximum dimensions, height restrictions and any additional charges. If your vehicle is not clearly covered, contact us before you book rather than assuming it will be accepted.
Helpful advice for parking at Stansted Airport
Allow time to reach check-in
Build the full journey into your plans, rather than looking at the transfer time alone. If you choose JetParks, Long Stay or Mid Stay, allow time to park, unload your luggage, wait for the shuttle and travel to the terminal. The shuttle is included with JetParks, Long Stay and Mid Stay.
Think about what you will be carrying
JetParks and Long Stay can keep the price down, but a walking option may be easier if you would rather avoid a bus. For families, pushchairs or heavier luggage, Official Meet and Greet and Valet let you hand over your keys close to the terminal while the team parks your car.
Read your arrival instructions before setting off
Stansted has 1 passenger terminal, but each car park has its own entrance and arrival process. Open your confirmation before you travel and use the supplied directions, postcode and instructions. This is especially important for Meet and Greet and Valet, where you need to follow the correct route to the handover area.
Make an early flight easier
If you have a long drive or an early departure, a Stansted Airport hotel with parking can give you a more relaxed start. You can stay near the terminal and leave your car in the package’s allocated parking while you are away.
Keep the total cost under control
- Book before you travel: pre-booked Airparks prices can be much lower than London Stansted Airport’s pay-on-arrival rates and give you a confirmed space.
- Compare the complete journey: check the total parking price alongside the walk or shuttle time, key arrangements and any vehicle restrictions.
- Check the flexibility: the packages listed include Free Cancellation, but deadlines and conditions apply. Review any Late Return Cover included with your chosen package too.
