Fixed-price transfers between Gatwick Airport — South and North Terminal — and Brighton, Hove, Shoreham, Worthing and the whole Sussex coast, in both directions. Name-board meet-and-greet in arrivals, flight tracked with 60 minutes free waiting, free child seats, and MPVs and 8-seaters for family luggage. From £60, fixed at booking — the same fare for a 4am airport run as a 4pm one. No meter, no surge. TfL licensed.
The Short Answer
From £60 in a saloon, £75 in an MPV 6-seater and £90 in an 8-seater — fixed at booking, and Brighton to Gatwick costs exactly the same. The run is about 25–28 miles straight down the M23 and A23, typically 35–50 minutes door to door — one of the simplest motorway runs from any London airport. Every fare includes name-board meet-and-greet in arrivals, flight tracking, 60 minutes free waiting from actual landing, luggage help and free child seats on request.
The Route
The coast run is Gatwick's straightest line: M23 south to its end, then the A23 dual carriageway over the Downs and into Brighton — 35–50 minutes most of the day, with Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and Hassocks a short branch off the corridor. Summer-Saturday beach traffic on the final A23 approach can add 15–20 minutes; your driver reads it live and slips across to the A27 for Hove, Shoreham and Worthing drops.
And the train? This is the fairest fight on our books — direct trains run frequently, roughly 25–35 minutes station to station, and a solo adult with a cabin bag should probably take one. Here's what the timetable doesn't say: the journey is station to station, not door to kerb — add the leg from home to Brighton station with cases (or the reverse at midnight), tickets for every member of a family, luggage racks on a summer service, and the gaps that open exactly when flights cluster: the pre-dawn departure wave and the after-23:00 arrivals. That's when this route earns its keep — a car scheduled the evening before, seats fitted, door to terminal for the 06:00 wave at the same price as midday. Most of our Brighton bookings are exactly that.

Families
Brighton and Hove families fly from Gatwick more than any other airport — outbound on the first wave at the start of the holidays, home on the late wave at the end. Both edges are covered as standard: free child seats fitted before pickup (the seat guide covers everything), MPVs and 8-seaters for the two-week load, after-midnight arrivals at daytime prices, and round-trip booking that locks the return before the late-August rush empties the MPV fleet.
FAQ

Typically 35–50 minutes for the ~27 miles straight down the M23/A23 — one of the simplest airport runs there is. Summer Saturday coast traffic can add 15–20 minutes on the final approach.
Station to station, often — and solo with a cabin bag we'd say take it. Door to door with family, luggage, a 4am departure or a post-23:00 landing, the car wins on the full journey and it's the only option that never has a gap.
It's the route's signature booking — scheduled and confirmed the evening before, timed to your Gatwick check-in cut-off, same fixed price as midday. Never summoned on the morning.
