    Over Easter I used a parking/transfer company called Gateway Parking, 9 miles from Stansted and very, very cheap!!!! :j I paid £29 for 4 days parking, which was half the price of anything else I looked at... The downside is that the place is difficult to find and it takes a little longer to get to and from the airport. Worth a look though... Gateway Parking, Stansted.
  • Hey, I also bought cheap tickets to Italy with Ryanair :j but I am going for 2 weeks in July. I have the same dilemma with the parking, it would be cheaper for us to get a cab! :eek:

    I used Gateway at the beginning of March. I was charged a ridiculous £15 for 4 days. Very efficient and professional service.

    Cost of parking at Stansted is ridiculous:mad: . We live about 35 mins away and it's cheaper to get a taxi than park there.........so annoying:mad:
  • When I last flew from Stansted I booked the cheapest parking with a company called BSFC.

    It turned out to be Bishops Stortford Football Club who are about 1 mile from Stansted, and who run a really professional service.

    If we had parked with any other company we would have missed our flight as we were cutting it a bit fine due to car trouble, but they got us there on time.

    I booked it through the post office.
