Why is Short Stay so expensive at Stansted?
Because it is not sold for holidays. The car parks next to the terminal are priced for someone meeting a flight for an hour, so booked for a week or more they are the most expensive way to park at Stansted. It is also the one people fall into by driving up without a booking.
How much does it cost to drop someone off at Stansted?
£10 for up to 15 minutes in the Express Set Down zone, since 19 March 2026, and £28 beyond that. Pay by midnight the next day or face a £100 charge, cut to £60 within 14 days. More detail is in our Stansted drop-off charges guide.
How do you get the cheapest price at Stansted?
- Check the booking-window table first. At Stansted the date you book can move the price as much as the car park.
- Compare the total for your dates. What matters is the full total for your stay, not the headline day rate.
- Never drive up to Short Stay for a holiday.
- Book before you travel, not at the gate. The turn-up rate is the dearest way into any Stansted car park.
