Prices for car parking at Stansted Airport vary depending on which car park you park in and how long you are staying for. If possible you should book online to try and save yourself some money – the official Stansted Airport website has an easy to use online car parking booking system. The prices given below are assuming you just turn up on the day to park and don’t book online.

Long stay car parking will cost you £9.50 per day, or part thereof – this is the best option for most passengers as they will mainly be visiting Stansted to go on holiday or for a visit somewhere that lasts a few days. The next best option is mid-stay – this car park is suitable for both long stay and short stay customers but is closer to the terminal and is priced at £13 per day, or part thereof.

Short stay pricing gets a bit trickier, and you will need to refer to the table below for the details:

Duration Price

Up to 30 minutes £2.50

30 minutes to 1 hour £4.00

1 to 2 hours £7.50

2 to 3 hours £9.50

3 to 4 hours £11.00

4 to 5 hours £12.00

5 to 6 hours £13.00

6 to 9 hours £15.00

9 to 12 hours £18.00

18 to 24 hours £27.50

Per 24 hours after £27.50

Finally, you may wish to consider valet parking to relieve the stress of your travelling a little bit – for a little extra charge on your parking fee you can choose to drive right up to the forecourt of the terminal, where staff will be waiting to help you with your luggage, before handing your keys over to the staff to be parked securely. Your car will be waiting for you very close to the terminal when your flight comes in.
