Where to Find the Car Rental Desks at Stansted Airport

At Stansted Airport, all car rental desks are located in the Car Rental Village, not inside the terminal. After exiting the Arrivals Hall, follow signs to the shuttle bus stop on the main forecourt. The free shuttle runs every 7–10 minutes and takes about 5 minutes to reach the Village, located on Coopers End Road (CM24 1SJ). Inside, you’ll find desks for major providers like Hertz, Europcar, Sixt, and more. Cars are picked up just outside the building. For returns, follow signs to your rental company’s bay, and drop off keys at the desk or in a drop box after hours.
