    It's been a couple of years now since I last did it, but here goes...

    1. Park in the village of Stansted Mountfitchet, lots of residential streets with no parking restrictions. But PLEASE be courteous and don't block peoples' driveways etc.

    2.Jump on the train. The station is right in the middle of the village, and it's 5 minutes and just a couple of quid each way to Stansted.

    3. Don't tell anyone it was me who told you.:wink:

    I've just come back and used the Hilton Hotel - Overnight accommodation and 15 days parking - used Quidco for booking the Hilton. One thing they fail to mention is that it's £2 per person on their courtesy bus from the Hotel to the airport - about a 10 minute journey. The bus is free coming back from the airport to get your car. Worked out easy for me.

    I used BAA Valet Parking last month, it was expensive but very convenient - booked online the night before.

    We used them this week, a new company but really good service. It cost us £20 with a taxi to and from the airport. We'll be using them again.

    Hi, has anyone else has positive experiences with Arival? Really want to book with them, but a little wary because there's only one good feedback message on them so far. Just want to make sure they're genuine! Thanks.
