SIXT's location at London Stansted Airport
Car pick up
A complimentary SIXT shuttle bus departs every ten minutes from the STN terminal to the car collection point at the Car Rental Village. You can catch the shuttle from outside the main exit at Arrivals – follow the signs in the terminal for taxis and buses to the car parks.
Car return
To return your car you need to follow the signs from the motorway to the airport and look out for signs to Coopers End Road and Endeavour House. The Car Rental Village will be on the left-hand side and from there, the free shuttle bus will take you to Departures.
Explore London Stansted with your car hire
Hire a car at STN and use this as the ideal starting point to explore London and towns in the east of England, such as Cambridge or Norwich. Take the time to explore Stansted itself. Once you have picked up your London Stansted Airport car hire, pop across to Mountfitchet Castle, a 10-minute drive away or go and visit the Hatfield Forest, just 2 miles away from the airport. On the way to Cambridge, 45 minutes away from London Stansted, you could stop off to visit the National Trust property, Wimpole Estate with its mansion and gardens designed by the famous landscape artist Capability Brown.

Good to know when renting at Stansted Airport
Yes, you can return your rental car outside of business hours at London Stansted Airport. Simply park in the SIXT return area, check out via the SIXT app, and leave your keys in the key drop box. Take photos of the car beforehand, and don't forget that returning on time helps you avoid any extra charges!
At pick-up, a deposit is pre-authorised on your card based on your vehicle category. Your bank reserves the funds without actually debiting them, and the hold is released once your rental is complete. For the exact deposit amount for your booking, visit our car rental information page, since it depends on your pick-up destination.
Travelling with kids? SIXT at London Stansted Airport has you covered! Child seats are available as an add-on for your rental, with infant, toddler, and booster seat options. For guaranteed availability, we recommend adding your child seat during the booking process rather than waiting until pick-up.
