What's included
- Fixed price, in writing. The meter never runs; no airport surcharge or card fee.
- Meet & greet. Your driver waits in arrivals with a name board.
- Free waiting on the return. We track your inbound flight, so a delay just moves your pickup — no extra charge.
- Licensed, DBS-checked drivers, 24/7. Including the earliest departures.
The journey & pickup
It's about 26 miles — A23 → M23 → Gatwick — typically around 32 Minutes. Traffic near the airport can add time at peak, so for an early flight we'll suggest a pickup that clears the worst of it; for arrivals we hold the car until you're through the hall.
We collect across Brighton and nearby — Brighton City Centre, Kemptown, Preston Park, Hanover, Hollingbury and the surrounding BN postcodes. We serve both the North and South terminals; give us your terminal and flight number when you book and the driver takes you to the right door.
Taxi vs train vs coach
| Option | Time | Changes | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi (door to door) | ~32 Minutes | none | from £84 / car |
| Train | around thirty-five minutes station to station | no changes, direct | £11-20pp depending on operator and time |
| Coach | around fifty minutes to an hour | 1+ | £8-14pp |
The taxi fare is per car. For two or more travellers — or any early-morning or late-night flight — a fixed car usually beats multiple legs with luggage.
How booking works
Brighton to Gatwick FAQ
How much does a taxi from Brighton to Gatwick cost?
Your fare is fixed and shown in the price table above, starting with the saloon and rising by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the number you see when you book is the number you pay, whatever the traffic on the day.
How long does the Brighton to Gatwick journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Almost the entire route is dual carriageway and motorway up the A23 and M23, so outside the morning rush the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for getting out of the city.
Which Gatwick terminal do you drop at, North or South?
Whichever you need. Gatwick has a North Terminal and a South Terminal rather than numbered ones, so tell us your airline and terminal when you book and the driver sets you down at the right doors. If you are not sure which you fly from, we can check it against your flight, and on the return the driver waits in the correct arrivals hall.
What is the best route from Brighton to Gatwick?
The standard run is the A23 north out of the city, through Patcham and up past Pyecombe and Pease Pottage onto the M23, then straight into the airport. When the main road is busy on a holiday weekend, an experienced driver knows the alternatives around Handcross that keep you moving.
Do you pick up from Kemptown, Preston Park and Hanover?
Yes. We collect from every Brighton neighbourhood including Kemptown, Preston Park, Hanover, Withdean, Patcham, Hollingbury and Moulsecoomb, as well as the villages along the cliffs at Rottingdean, Saltdean and Woodingdean.
Can I book the return, Gatwick to Brighton?
Yes, the same fixed fare applies in both directions. For the return leg the driver tracks your inbound flight, so if you land early or late the pickup adjusts automatically and you are met in arrivals with no extra waiting charge for normal delays.
