Launching this winter

We're not taking bookings yet: our operator licence is on its way. These are our launch fares, and the day it arrives this page becomes the booking page. Leave your number and we'll tell you first.

£120 one way.
£230 there and back.

One price per car, not per person, the same at 4am as at 4pm. Heathrow's £7 forecourt charge is already inside it. Estate cars are £10 more; six of you and a buggy means a people carrier, £30 more, and nobody sits on anybody. An extra pickup is £5, and it's the same price there and back: landing shouldn't cost extra.

How long does it take?

Up the A23 and M23, then round the M25 to Heathrow. The M25 sets the pace, so we plan the pickup for the hour you travel.

When you travelDoor to terminal, roughly
Overnight, before about 5am1 hour 5 minutes
Weekday daytime1 hour 25 minutes
Weekday rush hour, Friday afternoons, bank holidaysup to 1 hour 50 minutes

A guide, not a promise. We time every pickup for the traffic on the day.

When we'd pick you up

We allow two hours at the airport for short-haul and three for long-haul, which is what most airlines at Heathrow ask, then add the drive for that hour. On a weekday in November:

Your flight takes offShort-haulLong-haul
06:0002:4001:40
10:0005:5505:20
14:0010:2009:20
21:0016:5515:55

School holidays or small children? We add time for each, and we'll tell you the pickup when you book.

Which terminal?

Heathrow has four: 2, 3, 4 and 5. Your airline booking says which; tell us when you book and we'll drop you at the right door. Coming home, your driver waits in that terminal's arrivals hall at the information desk with a Sussex Airlink name board, and your first hour of waiting from the moment you actually land is free. Flight delayed? We already know, and your driver's having another coffee.

Where H grew up

H grew up in Brighton from the age of six. We know the one-way systems and the back roads, and we'll get you out of the city and on your way. Brighton, Hove and Portslade are all the same £120 to Heathrow.

Questions from Brighton, Hove and Portslade

Are Hove and Portslade the same price?

Yes. Brighton, Hove and Portslade are all £120 to Heathrow and £80 to Gatwick.

Flying in for a course at CAE Burgess Hill?

We'll meet you in arrivals at Heathrow and take you to your Brighton hotel, then drive you to every sim session. See sim runs.

We're flying long-haul with a lot of luggage

Tell us what you're bringing. An estate takes four or five big cases for £10 more, and a people carrier takes six people for £30 more.

Why aren't you the cheapest?

Because we pay our drivers properly. Some apps squeeze their drivers to shave a few pounds off your fare; we'd rather pay ours and have them turn up. Happier drivers take pride in the job and arrive on time, every time. That's the promise in our logo, and we mean it.

Do you do local journeys?

We specialise in longer ones: airports, events, sim runs and term-time school runs. For a quick hop to the station or the GP, a local firm is your best bet. Anything with a motorway in it, we're your people. It keeps our cars clean and calm, too: no 2am chip-shop runs, so no crumbs on your seat.

Is this a taxi?

It's the pre-booked version: private hire at a fixed price agreed before you travel. No meter and no surge, and because you can't hail us, the price can't move on the day. If you were searching for a Brighton to Heathrow taxi, this is the calmer way to do it.

Airport run? Airlink it.

Fixed fares, a driver who turns up, a standby driver on every booking and a person who answers the phone. Bookings open this winter: tell me first or ring 01903 331 333.
