A price for your actual trip
Brighton to London City Airport taxi prices
Get a quote for the exact journey rather than a fare based on a different airport or postcode. Your pickup address, travel time, vehicle and additional requirements determine the price.
Match people and bags
Count suitcases, cabin bags, pushchairs and oversized items. An executive car and a larger passenger vehicle serve different needs.
Confirm the complete fare
Check airport access, parking, waiting arrangements and any agreed extras. A 10% night surcharge applies from midnight to 06:00; special dates and journey changes can affect the total.
Two directions. Two plans.
Brighton to London City. London City back to Sussex.

Departures from Brighton, Hove and Sussex
Provide your requested pickup time and flight departure time. Allow for traffic on the approach to East London, your airline’s check-in deadline and security. Road conditions vary, so the driving time alone should never set your airport arrival plan.
Arrivals at London City Airport
Add your arrival flight number, date and mobile number. We monitor available flight information to help plan collection. Complete arrivals and collect your bags before following the agreed pickup instructions.
Know where to go
London City Airport pickup and drop-off
Pre-booked private hire pickups and terminal drop-offs use different airport areas. Keep your phone available and follow the confirmed meeting instructions.
Arriving: designated pickup
London City directs pre-booked minicabs and executive cars to the Pick-up Area in the Short Stay car park. Cars cannot wait on the forecourt beside the terminal. Confirm any inside-terminal Meet & Greet arrangement with our team.
Departing: terminal forecourt
The airport provides a charged drop-off area directly outside the terminal. It has a maximum stay of 10 minutes, so have your bags ready and complete the stop promptly. Your driver handles the vehicle’s airport access arrangements.
Assistance and waiting
Tell us before booking about mobility needs, extra time or walking difficulties. Confirm a suitable vehicle and meeting arrangement. Airport parking and access rules can change; extra waiting beyond the agreed allowance may cost more.
Work trips, planned properly
Business and executive airport transfers
For a meeting before the flight or a journey home after work, give us the full itinerary at booking. We can quote for office, hotel and residential collections across our Sussex service area.
Executive Class on request
Request Executive Class when booking, subject to availability. Confirm the allocated vehicle requirements and luggage space before committing. A premium vehicle does not remove the need to allow for traffic and airline deadlines.
Office and hotel collections
Add your building name, full address and a useful meeting note. If several colleagues are travelling, include every passenger, bag and stop so the quote covers the whole journey. Contact us about recurring business travel requirements.
Space matters
Choose the right vehicle for London City Airport
Vehicle availability and luggage capacity must be confirmed together. We do not provide child seats; ask about bringing your own before booking.
Saloon & Estate Plus
For solo travel, couples and smaller parties. Consider Estate Plus for additional luggage, and give us the complete bag count.
Family & Large MPV
For families and groups needing additional room. Confirm suitcase sizes, pushchairs and usable luggage space before choosing.
8 Seater & Executive
An 8 Seater Van can carry up to eight passengers, subject to luggage. Executive Class is a separate option for customers requesting a premium vehicle.
Plan the journey home
Return transfers from London City Airport
Add both legs to your booking with the correct dates, addresses and inbound flight number. Check the full quote for each direction, including any overnight timing and additional stops.
Changes and cancellations
Tell us promptly if your flight, pickup address or travel date changes. We normally cancel and refund with at least 24 hours’ notice unless your confirmation says otherwise. Late cancellation, a dispatched vehicle, extra waiting or changes to the booked journey may incur charges.
