Stansted Airport Parking
Stansted airport is the third airport in London now and has recently become the fifth busiest airport in the world so it will come as no surprise that Stansted airport parking can be somewhat of a nightmare. The reason that the airport is so busy is due to the fact that at the time of writing the airport offers forty four scheduled and charter airlines and handles over twenty two million passengers a year.
There are many available options for Stansted airport parking that are dependant largely on budget and the length of stay.
Firstly we have the basic Stanstead airport parking service, this consists of the short stay car park that is located quite close to the main building and is intended for people who want to stay for no more than five hours. There is also a drop off area just outside the main terminal but take care not to leave your car unattended while there as you risk it being towed away.
Next we have the business Stansted airport parking service, this is for the business passenger that requires fast transfer from the car park to the airport itself by means of the short stay fast track service. This service is intended mainly for business travellers who plan on leaving their car parked up for no longer than 24 hours. This service has a designated entry and exit and also has the added luxury of wider spaces. For passengers who will be going on short breaks or longer business trips we have the Stansted mid term parking service. This car park is secure and is serviced by a shuttle bus system that runs every ten minutes. Finally we have the Stansted long stay parking service for those who will be leaving the car for more than a few days. This is where it does not always pay to go for cheap car parking. Stansted airport has a number of car parking companies servicing the needs of the long stay customer and the prices vary considerably. The main cause for concern is the time between shuttle bus trips to the airport, some come every five minutes and some can take up to twenty which is not good if its raining for example! It is important to be sure of the time taken to get from the car park to the airport if you are using one of the long stay services, you will of course need to allow plenty of time to get to the airport in time for your flight. A lot of this extra stress can be avoided by simply pre booking your parking spot with one of the companies. This can be done online or over the phone for convenience.
