Where to collect your car
Most major brands are together at the Car Rental Village on Coopers End Road, on the airport site but a short transfer from the terminal. A few suppliers operate from hotels and car parks on Thremhall Avenue or near Bishop's Stortford, with their own arrangements. Look at the pick-up type on each offer before you choose.

Tips
Before you set off
East along the A120
The A120 runs towards Braintree and Colchester and on to Harwich, the port for ferries to the Netherlands.
Crossing the Thames
Heading for Kent? The M25 crosses the river at Dartford, where Dart Charge is paid online by midnight the following day.
ULEZ only in London
Stansted is well outside the Ultra Low Emission Zone; it applies once you drive into Greater London.
