Arrival Procedure
This car park operates an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system, so it is essential that you enter the correct vehicle registration when making your booking. Please bring your printed booking confirmation to the car park. Drive up to the entry barrier and wait 15 seconds while your vehicle registration number is read. A ticket will be printed showing your booking reference and the barrier will lift automatically. If you are not issued a ticket within 15 seconds, press the button for a ticket. Park your vehicle and board a transfer bus to the airport.
Departure Procedure
On return, go to the pick up point on terminal forecourt to board the transfer bus. Once you have collected your vehicle, drive to the exit barrier. Insert the ticket you were issued upon entering the car park and the barrier will lift. If you have any problems, or if you had to press the button for a ticket upon entering, show your booking confirmation and parking ticket to a parking attendant, or press the call button for help. DO NOT insert a credit/debit card at the exit barrier as you will be charged again at the standard gate rate.
Transfers
Transfers operate 24 hours a day, every 15 minutes, and take approximately 10 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: There are three transfer buses, and each bus goes to only one area of the car park. Match the colour of your entry ticket (red, yellow or blue) to the corresponding bus to ensure you are returned to the correct car park area. On your return, the bus stops outside the terminal are also colour-coded.

It was well signposted and relatively easy to park. The drivers on both buses were very helpful, but I thought it was expensive.
It was a good service the only downside was having to wait for the bus to leave to take me back to my car...
I did not have to speak to customer services so I have marked it as a 3 for not known.
we arrived at the barrier and our ticket printed with the reg no on it. on the back of the ticket there are boxes to write zone and row number as you tend to forget after two weeks in the sun. Bus returning was very prompt, driver helpful. excellent experience
Book online, pick up your ticket as you drive through the security barrier, park the car, hop on the bus. On your return do the reverse. That's it! No hanging around at service desks and form filling etc. Completely hasle free!
Easy to book, easy to park, easy to transfer. Great Value. No problems highly recommend & will use again.
Car park was easy to find and the buses were waiting. On the way home we only waited a few minutes.
Excellent parking facilities. Frequent bus transfers. Well signed. No problems at all.
Easy access, felt safe leaving my vehicle there, bus drivers really friendly and helpful.
very reasonable, efficient hassle free way of parking and tfr to airport
Arrived at the airport a little bit late due to accident on M25. Access to the stansted long term carpark was very easy as the camera read the number plate of the car directly. The shuttle bus speeded us to the terminal in plenty of time. We arrived back at some ungodly hour(5am)without luggage. Within 30 min of touching down we were out of the car park and on our way home. I would recommend this. Much cheaper than the taxi alternative.
Long Stay Parking at Stansted Airport is very convenient and safe parking facility with good lighting and directions to the parking Zone are clearly marked. We didn't have to wait long either way for the coach to arrive and drop us off at our destination, hence making our journey very comfortable. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family - very impressed by the hassle free service :-) Thank you
Arrived with no problems, picked up by the bus within three minutes both ways and delivered to zone quickly. Both drivers were helpful. Entered snd left parking area with no problems.
From our arrival in the early hours, we were able to obtain transport very quickly to the terminal which reduced the stress considerably. The driver was cheerful, the bus clean and the journey to the terminal fairly quick. return was very similar and we were able to leave Stansted and get stuck on the M25 much more easily than expected
Transfers were almost instantaneous! Staff were friendly, efficient and helpful, needed at 01:00 when your ticket is not recognised. Only drawback was that the carpark was not well lit on return
This is the 4th time this year we have used your car parking and again very pleased do you offer discount for regular users? if not I think it would be a good idea as we would then all look to you first for our parking
the directions and parking are easy to follow and the bus arrived within minutes. The return journey took longer, the buses seem to get held up at the airport barrier and the one we took also picked up passengers from another couloured zone, which meant the bus was very full. However the driver was jolly and he explained clearly where the bus was going to drop off passseners.
The carpark location is is very easy to get to just off the junction from the M11 with good sign posting. On driving up to the barrier the ANP system reads your number plate and issues with a ticket in which zone to park. There were plenty of spaces and bus service to the terminal was good not waiting too long. The only comment I have is that I my opinion the blue zone bus stop was not clearly sign posted.
Fantastic service would use again, car park was a little expensive compared to Manchester and liverpool airports but well worth it. Car park well lit, well signposted for parking zones , the bus came within 5 mins of waiting, it dropped us off right outside the main terminal just was just great. We would use this service again as it was simple to use and convenient.
Instructions were clear and concise. Sat nav destination could be better. I ended up using the hotel as the postcode and taking it from there.
