If you are going away on holiday for a week or two, or even just for a few days, long stay parking is more likely your best and cheapest option for parking at Stansted. You can use the online booking form to get a quote online, or just turn up on the day. The first is of course cheaper. However, if you want to just turn up on the day and park you will find that it is still a very reasonable £9.50 per day. Over the course of a week this will cost £66.50. Whilst the cost does soon escalate for a long stay, it is a small price to pay for the amount of security that your car will get whilst it is here – it is probably much safer than leaving it at your home as the airport car parking has 24-hour security teams patrolling the car parks, full CCTV and security fencing to ensure every single car is safe.
Once you are settled in the long stay car park, it is easy to get to the main terminal buildings – a free bus service ferries passengers to and from the long stay car park every 15 minutes, and the journey takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on the volume of passengers present. There are over 130 parking spaces for blue badge holders to make visiting the airport with a disability much easier, and staff are always available to help those who need it. ‘Oversized’ parking is available should you have so much luggage that you find it necessary to bring a trailer or camper van!

There is a stereotype that perpetuates the car parks at airports throughout the country and acts as a deterrent to parking there and has led to many people resorting to getting dropped off at the airport and then picked up again on their return. Whether this is by taxi or by friends or family, the same problem often arises which is the risk of not being picked up and arriving late to the airport (the stress is something that you obviously want to avoid). The main fear is that the cost of parking at the airport is extortionate and simply not worth the cost and it is this fear that prevents people from parking there; in spite of the reduced stress that comes from being in complete control of your journey and the ability to leave the airport straight away after you land back in the UK.
However, whilst this may have been the case in the past, this view is no longer valid because the reality is that car parking at the airport is actually incredibly cheap. In the short stay car park it can cost as little as £10 if you want to stay for 5 hours (even though the reality is that you won’t be staying for that long). For those of you who are flying out and need to stop in the long stay car park it can work out as costing less than £1 per hour; each day has the very low cost of £20. It would be madness not to take advantage of this excellent facility!
