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 Don’t allow yourself to be taken in by outdated stereotypes; all you will end up doing is talking yourself out of a cheaper and much more convenient option; and where’s the sense in that?
