Meet & Greet Parking

£91 a day puts Meet & Greet between Short Stay and full Valet

This is Stansted’s official valet-style option where you still walk 1 minute to the terminal, pay about £91.00 per day, and hand over your keys so staff can reshuffle cars in a tightly packed, nose-to-tail on-site compound.

The “Meet & Greet Parking” name oversells it a bit: regulars on FlyerTalk say you usually park in the signed area by the terminal, drop your keys in a box, then walk the 1–2 minutes into departures with your bags. There often isn’t a kerbside handover at the front of the building like classic chauffeur-style valet.

FlyerTalk posts suggest cars may be moved from the terminal-side area to a mid-stay zone while you’re away, which is why keys are mandatory. One user reports loose change going missing from the centre console, while another calls the official airport car parks “good quality and safe enough,” so views on security are mixed but specific.

Price-wise, regulars say Meet & Greet usually sits between Short Stay and mid stay, so think mid-tier cost rather than budget. At £91.00 per day, it’s not far off just paying for the Short Stay car park, especially if you only need one or two days right next to the terminal.

People with pushchairs, multiple suitcases, or mobility issues like skipping buses and just walking the 1 minute into check-in. Frequent flyers who care more about control tend to book Short Stay or mid stay instead, keeping their keys and accepting a slightly longer walk or shuttle ride.

Watch out for

• Name is “laughably” misleading according to one FlyerTalk poster: there may be no actual meet at the kerb.
• You must leave your keys, and cars are reportedly moved to a mid-stay area while you’re away.
• A few reports of petty theft from interiors (coins, small items), so clear valuables and loose change.

Practical tip: Before booking at £91.00 per day, price Short Stay for your exact dates; if the gap is small, many regulars prefer paying the extra to park and keep their keys.
