Key points
I have ended up hundreds of pounds out of pocket after paying Ā£66 for a weekās parking at Stansted airport.
I booked through the website compareairportparkings.co.uk for our car to be collected at the short-stay car park, parked off-site while we were away, and then returned to us at the short stay.

It had evidently been in an accident, and Iāve since been quoted Ā£4,000 for repairs to the smashed front.
The short-stay car park had no record of the car ever having left, so I had a £477 parking ticket to pay on exit.
