“The drivers were fine and the cars were clean but were late for both of my transfers. The excuse was traffic but other drivers had arrived on time for their customers, probably because they left earlier to cater for the traffic. I will choose a different company next time”

Why private hire dominates the Sussex-to-Gatwick sprint
Getting from Brighton to Gatwick (LGW) is geographically simple, yet public transport makes the "first mile" incredibly painful. You have to order an expensive local minicab just to reach Brighton station before hauling luggage through ticket barriers.
A private hire vehicle handles the entire equation simultaneously. Your chauffeur collects you from your curb in Patcham or Portslade, providing a single, unbroken journey directly to the airport departure concourse.
Because the drive up the A23 is so rapid, splitting the £98 fixed fare between multiple family members or friends often renders the door-to-terminal taxi profoundly cheaper per head than walk-up rail tickets.

What makes Brighton to Gatwick different
Brighton to Gatwick is one of the most practical dedicated airport routes because it serves both local residents and visitors staying on the coast before a flight.
Common for seafront hotels, family homes and return flights
This route is often booked from Brighton seafront hotels, Kemptown, Hove and suburban addresses where passengers want a simple airport run rather than dragging cases back through station links.
Useful for both early flights and late-night returns
