WATCH OUT FOR CAR PARKING PRICES.
There is an area which is for quick drop-off and quick-pick-up
It says on the notice as you enter FREE (under 10 minutes)
Actual fact over 2 minutes costs £2. So don't be caught out. Many are!
I would hate to find out what it costs if you are over 10 minutes.

I literally dropped off a couple and drove for the exit to find spawn about cars who;s drivers had found out the hard way that what is advertised as FREE costs £2. I droved around the parked in the road cars and got to get out in just 2 minutes to find out that it costs £2. Good job one of us had change, because I never have any.
Stansted has fantastic and cheap flights to and from Germany as well as other European countries.
