Hove to Heathrow.
£120. Fixed. All-in.
From anywhere in Hove or Portslade to any Heathrow terminal, at one fixed price per car, day or night. The forecourt charge is included, and every booking has a standby driver.
Launching this winter
We're not taking bookings yet: our operator licence is on its way. These are our launch fares, and the day it arrives this page becomes the booking page. Leave your number and we'll tell you first.
£120 one way.
£230 there and back.
One price per car, not per person, the same at 4am as at 4pm. Heathrow's £7 forecourt charge is already inside it. Estate cars are £10 more; six of you and a buggy means a people carrier, £30 more, and nobody sits on anybody. An extra pickup is £5, and it's the same price there and back: landing shouldn't cost extra.
How long does it take?
Along the A27 to the A23, up the M23, then round the M25 to Heathrow. The M25 sets the pace, so we plan the pickup for the hour you travel.
| When you travel | Door to terminal, roughly |
|---|---|
| Overnight, before about 5am | 1 hour 5 minutes |
| Weekday daytime | 1 hour 25 minutes |
| Weekday rush hour, Friday afternoons, bank holidays | up to 1 hour 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 Heathrow ask, then add the drive for that hour. On a weekday in November:
| Your flight takes off | Short-haul | Long-haul |
|---|---|---|
| 06:00 | 02:40 | 01:40 |
| 10:00 | 05:55 | 05:20 |
| 14:00 | 10:20 | 09:20 |
| 21:00 | 16:55 | 15:55 |
School holidays or small children? We add time for each, and we'll tell you the pickup when you book.
Which terminal?
Heathrow has four: 2, 3, 4 and 5. Your airline booking says which; tell us when you book and we'll drop you at the right door. Coming home, your driver waits in that terminal's arrivals hall at the information desk with a Sussex Airlink name board, and 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.
Hove, actually
From the seafront lawns to Hangleton and Hove Park, every part of Hove is the same £120 to Heathrow as Brighton and Worthing. Portslade too.
Questions from Hove and Portslade
Does the price change if the M25 is slow?No. £120 is £120, whatever the M25 is doing. We just leave earlier.
Can we book there and back?Yes. Book both legs together and it's £230 instead of £240, and we track your flight home.
Is Portslade included?Yes. Hove and Portslade are both £120 to Heathrow, the same as Brighton.
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 Hove to Heathrow taxi, this is the calmer way to do it.
Airport run? Airlink it.
Fixed fares, a driver who turns up, a standby driver on every booking and a person who answers the phone. Bookings open this winter: tell me first or ring 01903 331 333.
