Short stay car parks are best if you are planning to see somebody depart or meeting someone who is coming back. It is the most economical solution if you are only going to stay for a few hours. The car park is only a few yards walk from the terminal. As far as prices are concerned, parking is free for the first 15 minutes, then costs £2.50 for the rest of the hour, and £4.50 for between one and two hours. Then the prices go up steadily until reaching £17.50 for between 18 and 24 hours. For any subsequent 24 hours or any part thereof, it will be another £17.50.
For longer periods, there is a mid stay car park at Stansted Airport called eparking. It is further away from the terminal than the short term parking, but there is a fast transfer service from car park to the terminal forecourt that takes only five minutes, which is half the time a transfer would take from a standard long stay car park. All you have to do is drive up to the carpark, insert your credit card into the machine and park, then when you return you insert the credit card again and the amount will be debited automatically from your card. This costs £12 a day and you can pre-book as well as turn up on the day.
Should you be away for a longer period, you should go to the longer stay car park (also called the holiday car park). This is situated outside the airport with a free transfer to the terminal which runs every eight minutes during peak periods. This bus journey take 15 minutes, but to be absolutely safe, passengers should allow 45 minutes in total for the transfer time from the moment you park to the moment you arrive at the terminal. You need to pre-book for long stay parking, and the minimum period for this is 5 days. The price of the long stay car park is £6.80 a day for between 1 and 5 days. For the 6th day and over it is £6.50 a day. These transactions include 30p which supports public transport initiatives.
As at most airports, parking for motorbikes and bicycles is free as long as you park in the decicated zone for it (zone D) in the long stay car park. Should you park anywhere not in the dedicated zone the airport may remove them.
The first builders at Stansted knew a good site when they saw one. No aircraft noise, no environmental lobby and no planning regulations. Life was less complicated 4000 years ago when an Iron Age village was established.
Americans introduced Stansted to the airplane when it became a war-time base for the United States Army Air Force in 1942. Their legacy was one of the UK's longest runways which opened the way to civil development.
The fledgling airport expanded modestly until its future was re-shaped by a government decision. It was earmarked as London's third airport. Unlike the Iron Age project the proposed development met with so many protests the government retreated and found another site at Maplin Sands in the River Thames estuary. Stansted seemed to be heading for obscurity.
All that changed in the 1970's when a world oil crisis and hard economic times made the Maplin option too expensive. The British Airports Authority, anticipating better times ahead, revived the idea of major growth at Stansted and in 1979 it was, once again, designated London's third airport.
After one of the longest Public Inquiry's on record the go-ahead finally came in 1985, with initial approval for Stansted to handle up to 8 million passengers a year. In 1991 a new and widely acclaimed terminal was opened but that is now under pressure as Stansted became the fastest growing London airport.
The modern Stansted may be expanding but one piece of the airport will not change. A unique wildlife area for plants and animals has been created in the shadow of the big jets and those Iron Age villagers who started it all would, no doubt, have approved.
