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!
