Beyond the everyday route

Long distance transfers from Brighton and Sussex

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.

London & major stations

Offices, hotels, appointments and onward travel. Give the full address or station, requested arrival time and luggage details.

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

Plan flight or ship details, the exact terminal and luggage before choosing a vehicle. Return collection times need their own agreed plan.

A fare for the real itinerary

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

Illustrative estate car for a private long distance transfer

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.

Illustrative MPV for family and group long distance travel

Family or Large MPV

For family and group requirements. Confirm the actual seating arrangement and all bags together, including pushchairs or equipment.

Illustrative 8 seater for a group long distance taxi journey

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 enquiries

Changes 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.

Book with a local Sussex operator

Sussex Airports Taxis holds separate private hire operator licences from Brighton & Hove, Lewes and Mid Sussex councils. Book through the website, by phone or with Sussex Go.

Tell us the whole journey

Unusual destinations, multiple stops and longer routes are best discussed in advance. Contact us with the itinerary so availability, vehicle suitability and the complete quote can be checked.

The driver was very helpful and patient with my elderly guests. He ensured they were comfortable and helped to find luggage trolleys when we arrived at the airport. I will use your services again

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.
