Which Brighton Station exit should I use?
Rear / Stroudley Road side
Usually best for: a planned car park meeting point, luggage, onward airport transfers and avoiding front-rank confusion.
Front / Queens Road side
Usually best for: walking into the city centre. Do not assume a pre-booked driver can stop exactly outside during busy periods.
Passenger with limited mobility
Best approach: discuss access and the closest suitable safe collection point before travel. Temporary works can change access.
Student with several suitcases
Best approach: share passenger and luggage numbers before the vehicle is allocated. People fit in seats; luggage still needs boot space.

Brighton Station to Gatwick, Heathrow or a Sussex address
A station pickup can connect with a hotel, university, home address or a pre-booked transfer to Gatwick Airport, Heathrow or another UK airport. The train arrival time should never be treated as the car departure time: allow for leaving the platform, walking through the station, luggage and finding the vehicle.
For an airport deadline, provide the flight number and terminal as well as the train details. Brighton to Gatwick taxi journeys currently start from £75; the final quote depends on the requested journey, time, vehicle and any agreed stops.
What to send when you book
- Train origin, service time and expected Brighton arrival.
- Full passenger mobile number, including the international code if relevant.
- Number of passengers, large cases, cabin bags and unusual items.
- Destination postcode, flight number and terminal where applicable.
- Any mobility requirement that affects the meeting point or vehicle.
Journeys are pre-booked and operate 24/7 subject to availability. Cash or card can be paid to the driver, or a payment link can be requested. Child seats cannot currently be supplied.
