Pre-book a direct private journey when you need to travel with luggage, several passengers, a fixed itinerary or a destination beyond the local area. Each route is reviewed for availability and your actual requirements.
UK cities & longer journeys
Request private travel to places such as Oxford, Cambridge, Birmingham or Manchester. Long routes and any driver waiting need advance availability confirmation.
Airports & cruise ports

How long distance taxi prices work
There is no single price that fits every long journey. We quote against the route and vehicle you actually need. Tell us the full plan before confirming, including any waiting or additional collections.
Addresses and timing
Include the exact destination, date, requested pickup and any appointment or boarding deadline. City access, parking and time restrictions can affect planning.
Passengers and bags
Count every traveller, large case, cabin bag, pushchair and mobility aid. A larger vehicle may be needed even for a small party with bulky luggage.
Confirm the total
Check road or city charges, parking, stops and waiting in the full quote. A 10% night surcharge applies from midnight to 06:00; special dates and changes may affect the fare.
The right journey plan
One-way, return collection or waiting?
A one-way transfer
Travel from your agreed Sussex address to the destination. Add any drop-off or access instructions that help your driver find the right entrance.
A separate return pickup
Book the return date, time and exact meeting point. Check the complete two-leg price; a return is not automatically a waiting booking.
Waiting at the destination
If you want the driver to wait during an appointment or event, request this before booking. The allowance, parking and additional charges must be agreed.
Room for your longer journey
Choose a suitable private vehicle
Images illustrate categories. Actual allocation, passenger capacity and luggage space depend on the confirmed booking. Tell us about specific vehicle needs before choosing.
Saloon, Estate or Executive
Options for solo travellers and smaller parties. Estate Plus can offer additional luggage room; Executive Class is a separate premium category.
Family or Large MPV
For family and group requirements. Confirm the actual seating arrangement and all bags together, including pushchairs or equipment.
8 Seater Van
Up to eight passengers, subject to luggage and availability. Eight seats do not automatically provide room for eight large cases.
Child seats and assistance: We do not supply child seats. Contact us before booking if bringing your own, or if you need help planning around mobility aids, walking difficulties or extra loading time.
Meetings, visits and events
Business and personal long distance travel
Request private travel for meetings, conferences, family visits, appointments or events. Give us the venue, requested arrival time, bags and equipment, plus an appropriate day-of-travel contact.
Road traffic, closures and weather can change. We discuss a sensible pickup plan rather than promise a guaranteed driving time. Allow enough margin for the commitment at the other end.
Company travel enquiriesChanges and cancellation
Contact us promptly if your destination, time or passengers change. We normally cancel and refund with at least 24 hours’ notice unless the confirmation says otherwise. Late cancellation, dispatched vehicles, extra waiting and changes may incur charges.
Start from your Sussex address
Brighton, Hove, Lewes and Mid Sussex pickups
Pre-book from homes, hotels, offices and other agreed addresses. Include postcodes, entrances and any access notes. Routes and vehicle availability are confirmed for your booking.
Flight or cruise connection?
Use the right airport or port guide
For time-sensitive connections, include the correct terminal, flight or ship details and an agreed collection plan. An airport landing or ship arrival is not the time you will necessarily be ready for the car.

Long distance taxi FAQs
Can I book a long distance taxi from Brighton?
Yes. Request a pre-booked private transfer from Brighton, Hove or Sussex to London, UK cities, airports, ports and other agreed destinations, subject to availability.
How much does a long distance taxi cost?
We quote for the actual pickup, destination, date, time, vehicle, passengers, luggage and stops. Get the complete fare before confirming rather than relying on a generic per-mile estimate.
Can you collect from Lewes, Mid Sussex or Worthing?
Yes, subject to availability. Enter your full address in Lewes, Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Worthing or another Sussex location for a journey-specific quote.
Can I book a return journey?
Yes. Include the return date, time, pickup point and destination. A later collection is different from asking the driver to wait, so confirm which arrangement you need.
Can I request a taxi from Brighton to London?
Yes. Give the full London address and any time-sensitive arrival details. Access restrictions, charges, parking and additional stops are confirmed in the journey quote.
Are MPV and 8 seater vehicles available?
They can be requested, subject to availability and luggage capacity. An 8 Seater Van carries up to eight passengers, but eight seats do not guarantee space for eight large cases.
Can you guarantee a particular arrival time?
Road conditions, traffic and closures can change. Tell us your appointment, flight or boarding deadline so an appropriate pickup plan can be discussed, with a sensible buffer.
Can I add a stop or arrange waiting?
Request every stop and any waiting before confirming. A changed route, extra pickup, extended waiting or a later return can alter the fare and depends on availability.
Do you provide child seats?
We do not supply child seats. Contact us before booking if bringing your own, and include all passengers, bags and bulky items.
How do I change or cancel?
Contact us promptly. We normally cancel and refund with at least 24 hours’ notice unless the confirmation states otherwise. Late cancellation, a dispatched vehicle, extra waiting or journey changes may incur charges.
