“Brilliant service from Rottingdean seafront to Gatwick South Terminal for our flight to Malaga. Driver arrived at our hotel on the promenade at 5am and had us at the airport in just over an hour. So much easier than dragging suitcases on the train via Brighton. Will definitely book again for every holiday.”

“Regular user from Rottingdean Vale for business flights to Frankfurt. The drivers know the A259/A27 route perfectly and always get me to North Terminal with time to spare. Executive car is always immaculate and the fixed fare of £70 is excellent value compared to buses through Brighton. Highly recommend.”
— Philip B., The Green
starstarstarstarstar
“Family of four from Rottingdean Heights heading to Gatwick for our summer holiday in Greece. The estate car had loads of room for all our luggage. Being collected from our front door at 4:30am for £105 was brilliant—straight up the A21 through Battle and there in just over an hour. Best taxi service on the Sussex coast.”
— Janet R., Marine Drive
