Cons: There wasnt insurance for england and the price was higher than in the shop
Terrible organization at pick-up
Pros: Car was nice and clean
Cons: I had two people in front of me. It took 30 minutes before I received service and the agent engaged in the conversation by telling me "you're late"

Like many European cities, Stansted dates back to long before automobiles. What this means for drivers is that many of the streets are better suited for smaller vehicles like compacts, sedans, and coupes than they are for large SUVs or trucks. Parking spaces, especially as you get closer to London proper, are often limited in number and size, making them much better suited to smaller cars.
Roads within built-up areas of Stansted typically feature speed limits of 30 mph. On divided highways (“dual carriageways”) and undivided highways (“single carriageways”), on the other hand, the speed limit goes up to 70 mph and 60 mph, respectively. Motorways in the city also feature speed limits of 70 mph.
Petrol costs an average of £1.31 ($1.67) per liter in Stansted, which equates to roughly £4.96 ($6.31) per gallon. This is slightly above average for prices in Europe, but is right inline with other petrol prices in the U.K.
Drivers will find that parking is widely available and much cheaper in Stansted compared to other neighboring English towns, particularly compared to the prices seen in downtown London. There are also plenty of parking lots and garages available in the more densely populated parts of town where streetside parking may be limited. Outside of the most popular areas, streetside parking is the predominant method of parking and is often easily and immediately available.
