How long does it take?
It's the long way round: the A23 and M23 to the M25, then clockwise (or anticlockwise, if the M25 is being the M25) to the M11 and up to Stansted. Your driver picks the quicker side on the night, which is why the pickup is planned for the hour you travel.
| When you travel | Door to terminal, roughly |
|---|---|
| Overnight, before about 5am | 1 hour 50 minutes |
| Weekday daytime | 2 hours 15 minutes |
| Weekday rush hour, Friday afternoons, bank holidays | up to 2 hours 50 minutes |
A guide, not a promise. We time every pickup for the traffic on the day.
When we'd pick you up
We allow two hours at the airport for short-haul and three for long-haul, which is what most airlines at Stansted ask, then add the drive for that hour. On a weekday in November:
| Your flight takes off | Short-haul | Long-haul |
|---|---|---|
| 06:00 | 02:10 | 01:10 |
| 10:00 | 05:10 | 04:10 |
| 14:00 | 09:45 | 08:45 |
| 21:00 | 16:10 | 15:10 |
School holidays or small children? We add time for each, and we'll tell you the pickup when you book.
Which terminal?
Stansted has one terminal, so there's only one place to look. Going out, we drop you right at the terminal, with the airport's £10 drop-off charge already in your fare. Coming home, your driver texts you exactly where to walk out to, so you're in the car in minutes.
Prefer to be met inside? Just say, and we'll be in arrivals with your name on a board. Your first hour of waiting from the moment you actually land is free. Flight delayed? We already know, and your driver's having another coffee.

“Arrived to my home early and got me to Gatwick with plenty of time to spare. Excellent communication. A fixed price meant there was absolutely no stress about getting to the airport on time.”
“Found the company on Google and got both trips booked in within minutes. Absolute first class service from start to finish. I will now be using them for all my flights!”
“Driven to Gatwick and back twice in as many weeks… An absolute delight. I will be recommending to all of our friends and only using Sussex Airlink for airport journeys from now on.”

Questions from Brighton, Hove and Portslade
How much is a taxi from Brighton to Stansted?
We’re a pre-booked airport transfer service (licensed private hire, not a taxi), so there’s no meter: it’s £185, fixed and all in, at any hour: the same at 4am as at 4pm. No surge, no “the traffic was bad”. Coming home from Stansted to Brighton is the same £185, and booking both ways is £360, saving you £10.
Are Hove and Portslade the same price?
Yes. Brighton, Hove and Portslade are all £185 to Stansted and £75 to Gatwick. Hove has its own page: Hove to Stansted.
Flying in for a course at CAE Burgess Hill?
We'll meet you in arrivals at Stansted and take you to your Brighton hotel, then drive you to every sim session. See sim runs.
Tell us what you're bringing. An estate takes four or five big cases for £10 more, and for five or more, get in touch and we'll arrange the right vehicle for your group.
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 Stansted taxi, this is the calmer way to do it.
Is this the same as a Stansted 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: £185 from Stansted 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 Stansted Airport to Brighton as well?
Yes, both ways. Whether you typed “Stansted Airport taxi to Brighton” or “taxi to Stansted Airport from Brighton”, it's the same fixed £185, 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.
