We didn't think people thought about their airport parking before booking their holiday. But Stansted Long Stay is so smooth, so efficient, so easy to use, that one customer actually told us she might fly from Stansted just to use it again. Maybe she loved the great prices - it's almost always our best value car park at Stansted - or maybe the award-winning security. Or maybe, like most of our Stansted Long Stay customers, she was just happy with everything.

Arrival and Departure Procedures

Arrival: The car park has automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) - so make sure you give us the correct car registration number when you book.
Please take a copy of your booking confirmation to the car park with you.
The entry barrier will lift automatically when it recognises your number plate, and will give you a ticket with your booking reference printed on it - keep this ticket. Then all you need to do is park your car and wait at the bus stop for the shuttle bus to the terminal.
The machine should take no more than about 15 seconds to recognise your number plate and give you a ticket. If this doesn't happen, just press the help button.

Departure: Your booking reference should be printed on the ticket you were given when you arrived at the car park, above the barcode, so you just need to drive to the exit barrier and put your ticket in the slot.
If your ticket doesn't have your booking reference on, you'll need to find a member of staff and show them your ticket and your booking confirmation so they can let you out - or press the 'call' button on the exit barrier.
