Brighton to London Taxi – Fixed Fare, Door to Door

Brighton to London taxi fares

Fixed fares per vehicle from a central Brighton (BN1) pickup, for a weekday daytime journey booked in advance. They come from the same booking engine as your online quote, which confirms the exact price for your two addresses.

Prices per car, not per person. The London Congestion Charge is included where your drop-off is inside the zone, which is why Central London and the City cost more than Kensington. See when the fare changes.

The journey from Brighton to London

Your driver collects you from the address you give in Brighton or Hove: home, hotel, Brighton station, the Marina, Kemptown or the University of Sussex at Falmer. The usual route is the A23 and M23 north past Gatwick, then the A23 through Croydon and Streatham into London, about 54 miles to the West End.

Outside the rush hour the drive takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes door to door. Weekday mornings into London are slower, so allow extra time if you need to arrive before 10am. You are dropped at the door of any London address, hotel or station, with nothing to pay on arrival.

The train from Brighton is quicker on paper, but a car takes you door to door with your luggage and one fare covers the whole group. For a side-by-side comparison see London to Brighton taxi vs the train.

Which vehicle, and what it costs per person

Most people travelling alone or as a couple book a saloon. Families and groups with luggage take an MPV; for business travel there is the executive Mercedes E-Class (£159 to Central London); and for larger groups an 8-seater. Fares to Central London, split when every seat is taken:

• Saloon (up to 4): £129 fixed, which is £32.25 per person when full and £2.39 per mile
• MPV (up to 6): £144 fixed, which is £24.00 per person when full and £2.67 per mile
• 8-seater (up to 8): £189 fixed, which is £23.62 per person when full and £3.50 per mile

When the fare changes

Your price is fixed when you book and shown before you pay; it does not change with traffic or the route the driver takes. The fares above are for Monday to Thursday daytime. Some times cost more:

• +15% Monday to Thursday, 7am to 10am, into London (saloon to Central London £148)
• +15% all day Friday, and Saturday and Sunday before noon
• +20% from 17 to 23 December
• +50% on 24, 25, 26 and 31 December and 1 January

Booking the return with your outward journey prices both legs at 1.9 times the single: £245 in a saloon to Central London and back. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup, and child seats are fitted free when you give ages at booking.
