What is Turn Up & Park?
If you haven’t pre-booked your parking, there are Turn Up & Park options at London Stansted Airport. But with limited availability and higher prices, we can’t guarantee you’ll always find a space.
That’s why we strongly recommend that you book your parking in advance to get the best price – especially during peak periods, such as the summer holidays, when it gets even busier.
Please note: If you’re looking to pick someone up or drop them off, please visit our Pick Up & Drop Off page.
Turn Up & Park prices
Duration | Price |
|---|---|
Short Stay (Blue, Green & Orange) | £67 |
Mid Stay | £45 |
*These prices are for a 24-hour period. Every 24-hour period thereafter will be charged at the same rate.

Picking someone up or dropping off
If you’re picking someone up or dropping them off at London Stansted Airport, you can also use the Turn Up & Park car parks. Areas are available at all of our Short Stay car parks or our Mid Stay car park.
We also have an Express Set Down option for quick drop-offs.
However, because spaces are so limited, we recommend that you use our dedicated Pick Up & Drop Off areas at each terminal instead.
