Start from the right place
Brighton to Newhaven Ferry Port and Sussex connections
Lewes, Seaford & nearby towns
Arrange a private connection from Lewes, Seaford, Peacehaven or another Sussex address. Add extra stops before confirming the fare.
Gatwick & Heathrow
Airport-to-ferry connections need time for flight delays, immigration, bags and the onward drive. Provide both the flight and ferry details before booking.
Know the terminal
Newhaven passenger terminal
Newhaven Ferry Port
Rail Approach, Newhaven
East Sussex, BN9 0DF
Use the address and current access instructions in your ferry confirmation. Tell us you are a foot passenger so the transfer is planned for the passenger terminal, rather than a vehicle boarding lane.
Travelling to Dieppe without a car?
DFDS accepts foot passengers on Newhaven–Dieppe. Passengers check in at the terminal and follow the ferry operator’s boarding arrangements. Our taxi service covers your road journey on the UK side; it does not include the crossing.
Keep your booking confirmation and travel documents ready, and check luggage rules directly with DFDS.
Check-in is earlier than sailing01 02 03
Plan backwards from your ferry deadline.
DFDS publishes a check-in closure of 45 minutes before departure for Newhaven–Dieppe and advises extra time in busy periods. Your own booking instructions take priority. Do not aim to arrive just as check-in closes.
Check your confirmation
Use the correct sailing date, local departure time and arrival instructions. Timetables and requirements may change.
Allow for the road
Include your full Sussex address and extra collections. Traffic, weather and roadworks can extend the journey, so allow a sensible buffer.
Keep updates available
Check DFDS travel updates and tell us promptly about a changed or cancelled sailing. A ferry change does not automatically update your taxi.
The journey after the crossing
Newhaven Ferry Port pickups and return transfers
Give us the sailing arriving from Dieppe, arrival date, mobile number and onward address. Agree the pickup point and collection time in advance. Leaving the ship, retrieving bags and completing entry checks all take time after docking.
After you arrive
Keep your phone switched on and follow your confirmation and driver messages for the agreed meeting point. Tell us if your exit from the terminal is taking longer than expected.
Book both road journeys
Add the outward and return legs with their own dates, times and addresses. Check the full return quote, including night travel or extra stops, before confirming.
