Hove to Gatwick.
£80. Fixed. All-in.
From anywhere in Hove or Portslade to either Gatwick terminal, at one fixed price per car, day or night. The drop-off charge is included, and every booking has a standby driver.
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.
£80 one way.
£150 there and back.
One price per car, not per person, the same at 4am as at 4pm. Gatwick's £10 drop-off 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?
Hove sits right by the A27, so it's usually along the bypass to the A23 and straight up the M23 to Gatwick. The A27 junctions can be slow at rush hour, and weekday morning pickups allow for it.
| When you travel | Door to terminal, roughly |
|---|---|
| Overnight, before about 5am | 40 minutes |
| Weekday daytime | 50 minutes |
| Weekday rush hour, Friday afternoons, bank holidays | up to 65 minutes |
A guide, not a promise. We time every pickup for the traffic on the day.
When we'd pick you up
We work back from the airline's advice: Gatwick suggests arriving two hours before UK and Irish flights, two to three before European ones and three before long-haul. Then we add the drive for that hour. On a weekday in November, for a flight to Europe:
| Your flight takes off | Your driver's at the door |
|---|---|
| 06:00 | 03:05 |
| 10:00 | 06:40 |
| 14:00 | 10:55 |
School holidays or small children? We add time for each, and we'll tell you the pickup when you book.
North or South Terminal?
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 the arrivals hall in front of M&S 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. Landed at the other terminal? The free shuttle between them takes a couple of minutes.
Hove, actually
From the seafront lawns to Hangleton and Hove Park, every part of Hove is the same £80 to Gatwick as Brighton and Worthing. Portslade too.
Questions from Hove and Portslade
Is Portslade the same price?Yes. Hove, Portslade and Brighton are all £80 to Gatwick and £120 to Heathrow.
Can you pick up from a Hove hotel or Hove station?Yes, anywhere in Hove or Portslade, hotels and the station included. Tell us where and we'll meet you there.
Hove or Brighton, does it matter?Not to your fare: Hove is the same £80 as Brighton. It matters to your driver, who'll come straight to your door rather than somewhere near it.
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 Hove to Gatwick 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.
