This service operates from the short stay car park just outside the terminal building, but your car is stored away from the airport in a secure indoor car park.
Transfers from airport
Transfers do not apply for this service. A driver will meet you at the Terminal.
Stansted SVS Meet & Greet
Stansted SVS Meet & Greet is a terminal handover service where you meet a uniformed driver in the Red Short Stay car park and your vehicle is then taken to secure indoor storage away from the airport. Call around 20 minutes before reaching Stansted to reconfirm your arrival time, then drive into Red Short Stay in front of the terminal. The representative meets you near the canopied walkway entrance before taking the vehicle away.
SVS avoids the need for a shuttle bus and was particularly distinctive because the published product included indoor vehicle storage. The APS page remains online with a large body of historic customer reviews, although it is not currently showing a live bookable price.
Why choose Stansted SVS Meet & Greet?
No shuttle bus: hand your car over immediately outside the terminal area.
Red Short Stay handover: the meeting point is in the car park directly in front of the terminal.
Indoor vehicle storage: APS describes the car as being kept in a secure indoor car park while you are away.
Short walk to check-in: the handover point is beside the covered walkway into the terminal.
Large historic review base: Airport Parking Shop currently shows 243 verified reviews with an overall score of about 4.2/5.
How does SVS Meet & Greet compare with Official Meet & Greet?
Official Meet & Greet is a current Stansted Airport-operated product using its dedicated Meet & Greet facility. SVS historically used Red Short Stay for handover and then moved the vehicle to separate indoor storage.
Choose Official Meet & Greet when you want a currently bookable airport-operated service. SVS is only relevant if it becomes available again for your dates.
How does SVS Meet & Greet compare with SPS Meet & Greet?
SPS Meet & Greet used almost the same Red Short Stay handover process, including the 20-minute pre-arrival call and meeting near the covered walkway. The important distinction in the SVS listing is the specific reference to secure indoor storage.
Both pages currently look historic rather than actively bookable, so live availability should take priority over their old headline features.
How does SVS Meet & Greet compare with I Love Meet & Greet?
I Love Meet & Greet is a currently bookable independent service with terminal-area handover and secure storage. SVS used Red Short Stay and indoor storage but is not currently showing a live price on APS.
For a booking now, I Love is therefore the more relevant comparison unless SVS returns to the live search results.
Important things to know
Call around 20 minutes before arrival to reconfirm your time. The published SVS instructions state that customers arriving more than 30 minutes either side of the booked time may have their booking refused. The meeting point is the Red Short Stay car park near the canopied walkway into the terminal. Historic material may contain old Short Stay fees or arrival procedures, so those should not be treated as current airport charges. Most importantly, the APS page is presently not returning a live bookable price, so SVS should not be described as currently available unless it reappears in the live results.
Directions
From all directions follow signs to Stansted Airport.
Arrival procedure
Twenty minutes prior to your arrival please call the Driver to re-confirm your arrival time. Please note if you arrive more than 30 min either side of the time booked, the booking may be refused.

Return procedure

I wouldn’t even give this company 1 star; our brand new car 5 weeks old was returned with a hole punched into boot and scrapes along the bumper. They then have the front to say it was like that when received and that my husband signed docs to say so! Sorry to say the 3 other law abiding passengers would agree that there was no damage to car before it was taken nor were docs signed to say as such. This was clearly added after the event. To add insult to injury my husband's ray bans have also gone missing from car. The most dishonest company I’ve ever had the displeasure to deal with! Basically calling us liars. We will be involving the police. Unbelievable that a company thinks this is good practice.

Use this service if you want your car used as a taxi whilst you are away. They used 200 miles of fuel, left receipts of trip in my glovebox to show their stupidity and damaged my child's car seat. They still haven't responded to my complaint and the fact that finding their details is near on impossible says it all. AVOID SVS, ORANGE MEET & GREET and any other under their ownership.

To be honest the they were very friendly over the phone on arrival and return from my journey, however a week after using this service I received a parking ticket stating that my car was parked on Epping High street (40 mins drive from Stansted airport) roughly an hour after I dropped my car off with them. Mow I cannot get through to the company to sort this issue or have they replied to my emails. I will never be using their services again and I would warn anyone else from using them also.
STAY AWAY from Stansted parking solutions - meet and greet or SVS abbreviated. I'm not sure why it is different but I believe they are the same company.

My car was returned with missing passenger side mirror which has clearly been ripped off. Also it was very dirty on the inside and outside (including cigarette butts on the floor), although it was thoroughly cleaned the day before dropping it off at the airport. The driver who returned the car did not mention any damage to the car and walked off immediately. When I called the provider I was told that they will review the photos of the car taken (when I pointed out no photos were taken in front of me when I dropped off the car I was told that the procedure is to photograph the car once it is driven to the parking lot), but they are sure that the car was dropped off damaged. The quote for repair is £800 as it requires a whole new automatic, heated mirror and disassembling the door to install it. I have been insistent and finally managed to contact a man named Paul who had been very rude and abusive over email, insisting I've damaged the car. He sent me a photo of the damage with no date and time it was taken (the refuses to provide the information) and claims the damage I'm claiming is not the same (which doesn't even make sense). I have filed a police report and working with a lawyer to take it further as this level of dishonesty and lack of any ethics should no go unpunished. The worst service ever, unacceptable avoidance, I will never book again and will make sure to post this negative review everywhere I can.

Worst experience ever. Our car was delivered late at night, where everything appeared fine. The guy that dropped it off couldn't leave quick enough and vanished into the distance, which raised suspicion. Upon closer inspection, the left hand side of our car was scratched and dented. Obviously, fuming, no one could help us until Monday morning (landed late Saturday). The company did not accept any responsibility and refused to help us. We were then sent images of the damage, stating that it was already there. The damage was definitely not there. We later found out that those pictures were taken 3 hours before the drop off (extracted information from the file). SVS still didn't accept responsibility and it ended up costing us £500 in excess to get the car fixed, a bill which totalled £2900 in damages. An awful experience.

Absolutely wonderful. It was so quick when we came out, we could not believe it. Thank you. I am sure it has taken half an hour off our time to be home. Thank you. I would recommend and we will certainly use again if the price is right!
