How long does it take?
Brighton sits on the A23, so it's usually straight up the A23 and M23 to Gatwick. Getting out of the city is the slow part at rush hour, and weekday morning pickups allow for it.
| When you travel | Door to terminal, roughly |
|---|---|
| Overnight, before about 5am | 40 minutes |
| Weekday daytime | 50 minutes |
| Weekday rush hour, Friday afternoons, bank holidays | up to 65 minutes |
A guide, not a promise. We time every pickup for the traffic on the day.
When we'd pick you up
We work back from your flight, then add the drive for that hour.
On a weekday in November, for a flight to Europe:
| Your flight takes off | Your driver's at the door |
|---|---|
| 06:00 | 03:05 |
| 10:00 | 06:40 |
| 14:00 | 10:55 |
School holidays or small children? We add time for each, and we'll tell you the pickup when you book.
North or South Terminal?
Your airline booking says which. Tell us when you book and we'll drop you at the right door.

4:30am on the seafront. The i360’s asleep. We’re not. Real car, real Brighton, on the way to collect an early flyer.

Brighton to Gatwick, from every corner of the city
We know the squeezes, the permit zones and the quickest way out to the A23. Same fixed price in Hove, Portslade or the heart of the city.
🚉 Brighton station & Seven Dials
Hills, one-way streets and a busy forecourt. We’ll meet you at the station or at your door, and we’re out onto the London Road and up the A23 in minutes.
🎭 The Lanes & North Laine
Lovely to wander, tricky to drive. We agree the nearest street a car can reach, so you and your cases aren’t dragged over the cobbles.
🏛️ Hove, Brunswick & Adelaide
Regency squares, seafront flats and permit zones. Give us the house or block name and we’ll pull up right outside, engine warm.
🌳 Preston Park & Withdean
Right on the A23, so you’re already pointing north. Overnight it’s usually about 40 minutes to Gatwick.
🏘️ Patcham & Hollingbury
Top of town by the Patcham junction, where the A23 meets the A27. Some of our quickest Gatwick runs start here.
⚓ Portslade & Aldrington
The west side of the city, a short hop up the Hangleton Link to the A27, then straight on.
🎓 Universities & student halls
Flying home for the holidays or arriving for term? We collect from the halls and take you straight to Gatwick, and keep your family updated along the way.
🏨 Seafront hotels & guest houses
From the grand old names on King’s Road to the guest houses in the side streets, tell us where you’re staying and we’ll collect you from reception, then it’s the A23 and M23 all the way.

“Lovely, friendly service from Sussex Airlink! They arranged a two-car convoy for all six of us… a great start to our holiday.”

We know Brighton’s one-way systems and back roads by heart. Brighton, Hove and Portslade: all the same £75 to Gatwick.

Questions from Brighton, Hove and Portslade
How much is a taxi from Brighton to Gatwick?
We’re a pre-booked airport transfer service (licensed private hire, not a taxi), so there’s no meter: it’s £75, fixed and all in, at any hour: the same at 4am as at 4pm. No surge, no “the traffic was bad”. Coming home from Gatwick to Brighton is the same £75, and booking both ways is £140, saving you £10.
Is there a Brighton airport?
Not for holidays abroad. Brighton’s nearest big airport is Gatwick, about 45 minutes away, and £75 fixed with us. Shoreham’s Brighton City Airport, just along the coast, is a small airport for private, business and training flights (and yes, we’ll take you there too).
Are Hove and Portslade the same price?
Yes. Brighton, Hove and Portslade are all £75 to Gatwick and £120 to Heathrow. Hove has its own page: Hove to Gatwick.
Can you pick up from a hotel or the station?
Yes, anywhere in Brighton, Hove or Portslade, hotels and Brighton station included. Tell us where and we'll meet you there.
Staying in Brighton for a course at CAE Burgess Hill?
We drive pilots from Brighton hotels to every sim session, at any hour. See sim runs.
Why aren't you the cheapest?
Because we pay our drivers properly. Some apps squeeze their drivers to shave a few pounds off your fare; we'd rather pay ours and have them turn up. Happier drivers take pride in the job and arrive on time, every time. That's the promise in our logo, and we mean it.
Do you do local journeys?
We specialise in longer ones: airports, events, sim runs and term-time school runs. For a quick hop to the station or the GP, a local firm is your best bet. Anything with a motorway in it, we're your people. It keeps our cars clean and calm, too: no 2am chip-shop runs, so no crumbs on your seat.
Is this a taxi?
It's the pre-booked version: private hire at a fixed price agreed before you travel. No meter and no surge, and because you can't hail us, the price can't move on the day. If you were searching for a Brighton to Gatwick taxi, this is the calmer way to do it.
Is this the same as a Gatwick to Brighton taxi?
It does the same job, pre-booked. A taxi is hailed or booked on the day and runs on a meter; we're private hire, booked in advance with the price agreed first: £75 from Gatwick to Brighton, we follow your flight, your driver texts you where to walk out to and meets you at the kerb, or in arrivals with your name on a board if you'd prefer. Same journey home, no meter ticking in the traffic.
Do you do Gatwick Airport to Brighton as well?
Yes, both ways. Whether you typed “Gatwick Airport taxi to Brighton” or “taxi to Gatwick Airport from Brighton”, it's the same fixed £75, booked before you fly. Coming home, your driver texts you where to walk out to and you're in the car in minutes (or we'll be in arrivals with your name on a board, if you'd prefer), which beats queueing at the rank with a suitcase that seems to have gained a stone on holiday.
Airport run? Airlink it.
Fixed fares, a driver who turns up, a standby driver on every booking and a person who answers the phone. Now booking, for any date: book online, ring 01903 331 333 or WhatsApp us.
