ACE AIRPORT PARKING LTD

If you were wondering what makes meet and greet parking with Ace Parking Stansted so essential, compared to normal airport parking, we’ve rounded up 10 reasons.

• Meet & Greet is convenient – Step straight from your car into the terminal. We′ll make sure you start and end your trip with reliable collection and drop-off at your convenience.
• Meet & Greet is cost-effective – None of your extra holiday money needs to be spent on transfers, busses, trains to and from the airport (That’s for your enjoyment when you get to your destination!)
• Meet & Greet is safer – Our Stansted valet parking location is a purposed parking facility that is permanently monitored to ensure complete security of all vehicles stored there. One of the other safety features of meet and greet Stansted valet parking applies to the driver themselves – arriving late at night as a traveller alone, or with children, you don′t have to worry about navigating to your car buried deep in some dark corner of a basement car park. With our valet parking in Stansted your car will be ready, waiting and warm / cool for you to get straight into and drive away
• Meet & Greet is perfect for those less physically abled – For those with disabled cars, or who need special assistance, Meet & Greet is vital. This is the most convenient way to travel in your own equipped car, and be picked up by it too.
• Meet & Greet is better for families – Families come with more bags, and more little people. Lugging kids and luggage on public transport or on transfers can start your getaway negatively by causing unneeded stress. Simply drive the whole family to the airport, and we’ll take care of the rest.
• Meet & Greet is quicker – Got out of that meeting late? Stuck in traffic on the way? If you then have to park your car and get transfers, it’s pretty likely that you’re going to miss your flight. For those with little extra time on their hands, meet & greet is the only one for you.
• Meet & Greet is warmer! – It’s a common story – get off the plane when you touch down in blustery Britain and you wish you hadn’t still got your flip flops and t-shirt on as it’s pouring with rain or snow. How good would it be to come out of the terminal and be met by your own, pre warmed vehicle ready to get home?
• Meet & Greet is cheaper than you might think – Ace Parking is 2012’s parking website of the year, and our quick and easy quotes come with a price match guarantee. You won’t find cheaper, and if you do, we’ll match it!
• Meet & Greet is fully insured – Our fully comprehensive insured drivers will take excellent care of your car, with a commitment to provide customers with a consistent, reliable and quality service whether travelling for business, pleasure long or short stays.
• Meet & Greet is quick and easy to book – The whole process is quick, simple and straightforward – book online in 3 steps or make one call to activate your meet and greet Stansted parking. On your departure day we′ll be there to collect your car from the drop-off point at either the North or South Terminal, and there again when you step out of the airport on your return.

Is parking your car at Stansted the cheapest option?

Many might think that airport parking is the most expensive option when deciding how to get to Stansted Airport and in some cases, that’s true. If you simply arrive at Stansted and park without booking, in the Stansted Airport Parking spaces on site, it could end up costing more than your break away!

However, not ALL Stansted parking is expensive, and after working out all the additional costs for public transport, airport transfers or taxis; pre-booking your parking with Ace Parking could actually be the cheapest, and by far the easiest option.

There are many ways to get to Stansted, below we’ll go through them all, and give you rough costing; so you can see just how much you could save yourself.

(All prices and suggestions are from central London, please be sure to add on your additional costs of travel if you live outside of London.)

Getting to Stansted Airport by Train / Rail

For central London trains, see Stansted Express info below, for other connections throughout the UK, Cross Country Trains off long-distance services that link the airport with Cambridgeshire and the Midlands. Connections are also available to the North and Scotland.

• Hourly daytime service, reduced on Sundays.
• Journey times (approx): Cambridge 35 min; Leicester 2 hr 30 min; Birmingham 3 hr 25 min.
• Fares vary, discounts for advance booking.
• Trains run to Audley End, Cambridge, Ely, Peterborough, Leicester and Birmingham.
• Trains run between 04:30 and 00:14 from Liverpool Street, and between 06:00 and 00:30 from Stansted.
• Although efficient if you’re from London, it is quite pricey, especially for groups, or a family.
• The standard-class single fare is £19. Returns are £32. (Prices may differ if purchasing in advance or last minute)
• Onward travel prices from London will range massively depending where you are going in London, or the UK. London is famed for its underground tube network, and is somewhat well priced if you have an Oyster card. (Fares from £2-£3) Trains to the rest of London and the South and West of the UK are available from Liverpool street, Euston, Victoria and more, but are often highly priced (when going outside London) especially if not pre-booked.

Stansted Express

Probably the fasted way to get between Stansted Airport and Central London is the Stansted Express.

• Trains depart every 15 minutes to London Liverpool Street and take 47 minutes.
• It’s 36 minutes to Tottenham Hale (to connect with the London Underground to the West End), and to Stratford (with change at Tottenham Hale).
• Train tickets from £8 per person each way if booked 30 days in advance.  Standard prices are from £19
• Train station is located directly under the airport terminal, just a 2 minute walk from Arrivals with easy access via lifts, escalators and ramps.
• Early morning 0340 hrs service from London Liverpool Street to the airport on Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings.
• Train tickets can be purchased online, in Arrivals or at the railway station.
• Again this may benefit a single traveller with no luggage, but for all other travellers, and if you are outside London, train fares can really add up.

Getting to Stansted by Tube / London Underground

• Tubes don’t go all the way to the airport, but you can ride the tube to Tottenham Hale or London Liverpool street stations and get a train to Stansted from there.
• Tube tickets are £5.70 to zone 1 central London one way, or you can get a travel card, giving unlimited travel in Zones 1 – 6, for £17 (Anytime) or £8.90 (off-peak).
• We would strongly advise against getting the tube with lots of luggage, as they can get packed, and many stations have lots of stairs; not good to drag that 30kg suitcase up!

Getting to Stansted Airport by Coach

Although the slowest option, there are three companies that run frequent coaches from London to Stansted Airport.

• National Express goes between London Victoria or Stratford & London Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport every 15/20 minutes
• Journeys take anything from 45 – 100 minutes and cost from £8 depending when you book.
• National Express also serve the rest of the UK from Stansted by coach, for destinations please visit www.nationalexpress.com
• Terravision goes between London Victoria,  Stratford & London Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport every 20/30 minutes
• Journeys take anything from 40 -50 minutes and cost from £9 depending when you book.
• Easybus goes between London Baker Street or London Old Street to Stansted Airport every 20 minutes
• Journeys take anything from 60 -75  minutes and cost from £2 if you book in advance.
• Coaches can be cheap if you live near the London departure and pick up points, but are they reliable in London traffic when you have to catch that flight? What’s more, lugging around all your baggage and children may create a whole lot of stress before you even get to the airport.

Taking a Taxi To Stansted Airport

• This will by far be the most expensive option, coming in at anything from £100 depending where you are going, and of course how much traffic there is. (We definitely wouldn’t want to be stuck in a black cab running on meter in standstill traffic in central London!)
• They may be convenient, and there will be an abundance of them waiting just outside arrivals for you; it’s whether you are able to pay such a high price for that convenience.

Driving your car to Stansted

• We’d probably all agree that packing your suitcases and family / friends into your own car, and driving directly from your homes to the airport is probably the easiest and most convenient way to get to Stansted. You’ll arrive together, excited, and ready for your trip ahead. However, many follow the myth that airport parking prices are the most expensive way to get to the airport.
• We look at the airport parking below for you.

Stansted’s Airport Parking
