In short - yes. We always recommend booking your parking at Stansted in advance. Firstly, there is no guarantee there will be a space available on the day. When you're rushing for your flight, driving around the airport looking for a space should be the last thing on your to-do list! Furthermore, paying on the day can quickly add up the longer you park, and you will end up paying much more than you would if you booked in advance. So if you want the guarantee of a space as well as plenty of extra pounds in your pocket, book your parking at Stansted well in advance.

Short Stay
Everything worked very smoothly. My only suggested improvement is to change the car park entry details at Stansted in the confirmation email and make it clear that you need to take the ticket offered at the barrier. Your instructions mention not taking a ticket or you might be charged which is a bit confusing. Just needs wording better. Other than that - first class.

Short Stay
We happened to be at Stansted during the current Corona Virus scare so the airport terminal was almost empty. The same was true of the Red short stay car park so parking was easy and gave us a shorter than normal walk to the terminal. Close, convenient and easy to access the main road out of the airport.
