Stansted Meet and Greet (Orange)

Stansted Meet & Greet (Orange)

Stansted Meet & Greet (Orange) is a valet-style parking service using the Orange Short Stay car park as its airport meeting point. Call around 20 minutes before reaching Stansted, drive into the Orange Car Park and meet the driver at the agreed point. The driver takes your keys and moves the vehicle to a secure off-airport compound while you walk to the terminal.

There is no shuttle transfer because the handover point is within walking distance of the terminal. Airport access charges currently apply in both directions and are paid locally.

Why choose Stansted Meet & Greet (Orange)?

• No shuttle bus: hand your vehicle over within walking distance of the terminal.
• Orange Short Stay meeting point: the published directions take you directly into Stansted's Orange Car Park.
• Secure storage: vehicles are stored at a secure compound with 24-hour security, CCTV and perimeter fencing.
• Park Mark accredited: the parking operation has both the Park Mark Award and Confidence Award and is a member of the British Parking Association.
• Simple return process: return instructions are provided on a card when you drop the vehicle off.

How does Meet & Greet (Orange) compare with Official Meet & Greet?

Official Meet & Greet is operated by Stansted Airport and uses the airport's dedicated Meet & Greet reception area around two minutes from the terminal. Meet & Greet (Orange) is an independent valet-style service using Orange Short Stay for the handover before moving your car to a separate secure compound.

Choose Official Meet & Greet when you prefer an airport-operated product with a dedicated reception. Choose Meet & Greet (Orange) when its total price and independent valet-style service work better for your dates.

How does Meet & Greet (Orange) compare with Easy Parking Meet & Greet?

Easy Parking Meet & Greet also uses Orange Short Stay for some handovers, making it one of the closest alternatives. Both require you to leave your keys and both move the car to secure storage away from the terminal.

Compare the final price, operating hours, cancellation terms and airport access charges for your dates rather than assuming the services are identical.

How does Meet & Greet (Orange) compare with STN Direct Meet & Greet?

STN Direct Meet & Greet also normally uses Orange Short Stay for departure handover. Both avoid a shuttle bus and require you to leave your keys, but they are separate operators with different booking conditions and return arrangements.

Compare the total price, flexibility and exact instructions shown with each booking.
