Hotel + Parking Packages
Many Stansted airport hotels offer packages that combine an overnight stay with official airport parking, giving you one booking for both your accommodation and your car.
After spending the night at your hotel, you’ll either leave your vehicle at the hotel or drive to your allocated airport car park on the morning of your flight, depending on the package you’ve booked.
Meet & Greet is the quickest option. Drive to the dedicated drop-off area beside the terminal, hand your keys to the Meet & Greet team, and walk to departures in around two to three minutes. While you’re away, your vehicle is parked in a secure Park Mark® accredited airport car park and returned to the same location when you fly back.
If your package includes Mid Stay or Long Stay parking, you’ll drive to the relevant airport car park before catching the free shuttle bus to the terminal. Mid Stay transfers take around seven minutes, while Long Stay and JetParks provide regular shuttle services throughout the day, with journeys taking 10 to 15 minutes.
Some hotels also offer packages that allow you to leave your car at the hotel for the duration of your trip before travelling to the terminal by shuttle or taxi. As transfer arrangements vary between properties, you should check exactly how your package works before you book.
London Stansted also offers dedicated motorcycle parking with a 50% discount off standard pre-book rates.
Official airport parking bookings include standard free cancellation up to 72 hours before arrival (or up to 1 hour prior with Upgraded Cancellation Protection).
Getting to the Terminal From Your Hotel
London Stansted Airport doesn’t operate a dedicated airport hotel shuttle, so the best way to reach the terminal depends on where you’re staying.
If you’ve booked an on-site Stansted airport hotel, you won’t need any additional transport. Both properties are connected to the terminal by a covered pedestrian walkway, allowing you to reach departures on foot in around 2 to 5 minutes.
Hotels a little farther from the airport typically operate their own shuttle services between the hotel and the airport. Transfer times are usually between 5 and 15 minutes, although schedules, fares, and operating hours may vary.
If your hotel doesn’t provide a shuttle, a taxi is the quickest alternative. Street Cars is Stansted Airport’s official on-site taxi provider. Most nearby hotels are only a short 5 to 15-minute drive from the terminal, depending on traffic.
Public transport can also be an option if you’re staying in nearby towns such as Bishop’s Stortford, Great Dunmow, or Harlow. Local bus services stop at Stansted Airport’s bus and coach station, which is located just a 2-minute walk from the terminal entrance.

FAQ
The Radisson Blu and Hampton by Hilton are the closest properties. Both are located on-site and connect directly to the main terminal building through a covered pedestrian walkway, taking about 2 to 5 minutes to reach check-in on foot.
No. Stansted doesn’t have an airside or transit hotel beyond security. If you’re staying overnight, you’ll need to leave the terminal and check into one of the nearby landside hotels before returning for your flight the following day.
When you book a combined hotel and parking deal, you stay overnight at your hotel before your trip. Depending on your specific package, your car will either stay in the hotel lot or you will transfer it on departure morning to an official airport car park (such as Mid Stay, Long Stay, or Meet & Greet) before heading to check-in.
That depends on where you’re staying. Hotels connected to the terminal can be reached on foot, while many nearby properties run their own shuttle services throughout the day.
If your hotel doesn’t offer a shuttle, a taxi is usually the quickest option, and the journey from most nearby hotels takes around 5 to 15 minutes. Local bus services also stop at Stansted Airport’s coach station, which is only a short walk from the terminal entrance.
Yes, provided rooms are still available. During busy travel periods, nearby hotels can fill up quickly, especially after flight delays or cancellations. Booking before you travel usually gives you a wider choice of hotels and better prices.
Many do, although policies vary between hotels. If you’re arriving before the standard check-in time or need to keep your room after check-out, contact the hotel before your stay. Some properties can accommodate these requests, while others may offer luggage storage if your room isn’t ready.
