Car Rental Stansted Airport

Stansted Airport is located in the Uttlesford District of the English county of Essex about 30 miles (48 km) north-east of London. Thrifty Car Rental is a great company that offers inexpensive car rental services. Stansted Airport is the third busiest passenger airport in the UK, and it currently serves over 22 million passengers a year with flights to over 145 destinations in 32 countries.

Stansted is planning to expand its already very successful airport. “We already have planning permission to serve 25 million passengers a year, and we expect to reach this level by 2008,” which is a quote coming directly from StanstedAirport.com. Furthermore, “Stansted Airport will be the first airport in the South East to get a new runway for over 50 years, as identified in the Government’s White Paper, The Future of Air Transport. Looking to the future, we expect the single runway to serve 35 million passengers a year by 2015 and we submitted a planning application on 26 April 2006 to accommodate this growth.”

Stansted Airport will also cater to any person or persons that are in need of special planning, including handicap accessible car rentals. Be sure to check whether the cost of any special assistance is included in the price of your ticket by looking over your itinerary. Inform your airline of your particular needs in good time.
