Gatwick to Brighton Taxi – Fixed Price from £105, Book Online 24/7
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 £105, fixed at booking — the same fare for a 4am airport run as a 4pm one. No meter, no surge. TfL licensed.
From £105 in a saloon, £133 in an MPV 6-seater and £168 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
Gatwick ⇄ Brighton — the journey, honestly
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
The coast's airport run
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
Gatwick ⇄ Brighton — common questions
How much is a taxi from Gatwick to Brighton?
From £105 in a saloon, £133 in an MPV, £168 in an 8-seater — fixed at booking, identical both directions, with meet-and-greet, flight tracking, 60 minutes free waiting and free child seats included.
How long does the journey take?
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.
Isn't the train quicker?
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.
Do you do 4am pickups in Brighton?
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.
