Once you make your way through to arrivals at London Stansted Airport, you’re just a short transfer away from the Car Rental Village. The shuttle bus leaves the terminal forecourt every ten minutes and, once there, you’ll find the following car hire companies:
The car rental desks are open daily. Most operate at similar times with a little variation. For instance, Hertz is open daily from 6.30am to 11.30pm, while Enterprise is open 7am to 10pm on Monday to Friday, and 8am to 8pm on the weekends.
Some agencies, like Alamo and Sixt, also offer after-hours returns. Just ask where you need to park your rental and drop off your keys.
Once you’re in your hire car, you’re close to the M11, which leads north to Cambridge or south towards the M25 and London.
For a countryside escape, continue from Cambridge on the A14 to the market town of Bury St Edmunds, approximately an hour from Stansted. This route, or the A12, will also take you to sandy beaches at Southwold and Walberswick or to coastal culture in Aldeburgh.
If you’re in the mood for a city break, Norwich, Colchester and London are all within easy reach. For the capital, consider parking at Westfield Stratford City and hopping on the tube to explore central London.

You need to be at least 21 years old to hire a vehicle at Stansted Airport – that's the minimum legal age for car hire in the UK. Some car hire companies only start at 25, and most will deem you a 'young driver' if you are under 25 years old. That generally means that you'll pay more.
You'll need your driving licence and a credit or debit card as a minimum to hire a vehicle at Stansted. Some hire companies also ask for another form of ID, proof of address, such as a bank statement or utility bill, and a DVLA check code.
No, but it is worth considering. In the UK, you're not obliged to have car hire excess insurance but if you don't have it, you'll usually have a big excess to pay if you have an accident. Car hire excess insurance means you don't have to worry about that. Have a look for a standalone policy online – you'll usually get a much better deal than buying it at the desk.
Many car hire companies will let you rent a car with a debit card. Some will require a credit card, so check which you need before you book a hire car at Stansted.

Yes, you can rent a car the same day at Stansted Airport. Check for the best deal online first – booking in advance is usually cheaper than booking in person at the car hire desks at the airport.
