The main reason why people choose not to park at the airport is based upon an old stereotype. There used to be the scenario at airports that the only people who flew were rather wealthy. Before the modern holidaymakers jetted off to various destinations around the world, foreign travel was restricted mainly to the people who were very wealthy. Because of this, everything was expensive in order to capitalise on this wealth; all the services within the airport were very expensive and the car parking was very expensive. Of course, these two costs are still seen as the main cost at an airport so people tend to adapt their journeys accordingly; catching trains or taking taxis and bringing food and entertainment. This, however, is no longer the case and, although people still perceive that the car parking at the airport is very expensive, the reality is that this is not true.
It is incredibly cheap to park at Stansted airport and, particularly for shorter excursions, it can often work out a lot cheaper than catching the train or hiring a taxi. There is no fear about there being too few car parking spaces when you arrive; you can rest assured that you will be able to find a space with over 150 in the car park. Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by outdated stereotypes; all you will end up doing is talking yourself out of a cheaper and much more convenient option; and where’s the sense in that?

Driving to the airport is by far the best option when you are flying out. The main reason for this is that you are completely in control of your journey and are able to do something if there is a complication. Picture, for example, that you are catching two trains to get to the airport. If only one of these trains is delayed or cancelled (an all too common occurrence that sadly leaves us lagging behind our European neighbours) then it can seriously throw your travel arrangements into disarray. You will end up rushing for your flight and, if you are able to catch it, will be much more stressed than you should be; not the best way for you to start your trip abroad! By driving you avoid all of this potential hassle – you drive to the airport, park and are on the plane early. If there are any difficulties on your journey – road works or excess traffic – you are able to take another route because you are in control of your journey. This makes you a lot less stressed and you will enjoy your flight a lot more.
The car park at Stansted airport is well equipped to be able to accommodate you for the duration of your trip. The price is a lot cheaper than many people expect – far surpassed by the cost of public transport – so it actually works out cheaper to drive. You also have the security of knowing that your car is parked in a secure area that is watched over by a CCTV network that will ensure no harm comes to it. It can often work out at under £1 per hour if you are staying for an extended period which is far cheaper than the rumours would have you believe!
