Main student pickup areas
University of Sussex
Falmer, Brighton BN1 9RH
Give the residence, school or named campus meeting point. Falmer is a large site, and a vague “main entrance” can send passenger and driver to different places.
University of Brighton
Lewes Road, Brighton BN2 4GJ
Share the exact building or hall. University of Brighton also has facilities in other locations, so confirm the campus before booking.
Private halls and shared houses
For central Brighton, London Road, Lewes Road, Moulsecoomb, Coldean and Kemptown, provide the complete address and a safe roadside meeting point.
Brighton Station
For a pre-booked pickup, follow the confirmation. The usual suggested point is the rear station car park on Stroudley Road, BN1 4LF. Read the station pickup guide.
Airport transfers for students

Move-in and move-out day
A taxi can carry normal passenger luggage within the booked vehicle capacity, but it is not a removal van. Photograph or count the cases before booking and mention bulky items such as a bicycle, monitor, musical instrument or storage boxes. If belongings will not fit safely, arrange a suitable removal service.
Late-night student travel
- Book the outward and return journey before the venue closes.
- Use one exact, well-lit meeting point where a vehicle can stop legally.
- Keep the booking phone charged and do not switch numbers mid-journey.
- Check the registration and confirmed vehicle details before boarding.
- If plans change, contact the operator rather than leaving the driver guessing.
Pre-booked journeys are available 24/7 subject to confirmed vehicle availability. This is not an on-demand street-hail promise.
Parents booking from overseas
A parent can request and pay for a journey, but the passenger must still have the pickup instructions and a reachable phone. Send both the student’s local contact number and the payer’s details. A payment link can be requested; cash or card can also be paid to the driver.

Do you collect from both universities?
Yes, subject to availability. Give the exact campus building, hall or agreed meeting point.
Can my parent pay for the journey?
Yes. A payment link can be requested, while cash and card payment to the driver are also available.
Can an MPV carry all our moving boxes?
Only within its safe luggage capacity. List every large item before the vehicle is confirmed; household moves may require a removal service.
