Gatwick to your Brighton door, and back again.
A name board in arrivals, or a pickup at your door timed to your flight.
- From £175 per car, one way, either direction
UK-licensedA Gatwick to Brighton transfer with Tripyana is a private Mercedes with a chauffeur, from £175 per car one way, in either direction. The 29-mile drive usually takes 40 to 60 minutes. Arrivals are met with a name board, and Brighton pickups are timed to your flight. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
What does a Gatwick to Brighton transfer include?
A short, direct run down the M23: one chauffeur and one car from Gatwick to your door, or back again. Airport parking and fuel are included. Every booking comes with four things:
Met inside your terminal
Whether you land at North or South, your chauffeur waits just past customs with a name board. Your bags go from the belt to the car, and the seafront is under an hour away. Want to be met at the aircraft door instead? Our Gatwick meet and assist escorts you through passport control to the car.
Flight tracked, waiting included
Your flight is tracked live, so the pickup follows the real touchdown, early or late. We wait the first 60 minutes after landing at no charge.
Any Brighton or Hove address
Seafront hotels, Hove flats, University of Sussex halls at Falmer or the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Your chauffeur stops at the door you choose.
One fare for the whole car
The price is for the car, whoever travels. Three people and two large cases fit an E-Class; seven of each fit a V-Class. Child seats are free.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at Gatwick?
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South. The chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall of yours, just past customs. Your flight number tells us which one, so there is nothing to check before you fly.
Both terminals sit beside the M23 spur, so the run south to Brighton starts within minutes of leaving the car park. Our Gatwick North and South Terminal guide shows which airlines use which side.
Can you not spot your name as you walk out? Ring the number on your confirmation while still in the hall. Your chauffeur is inside already, and one call brings you together fast.
How long is the drive from Gatwick to Brighton?
Allow 40 to 60 minutes for about 29 miles. The chauffeur joins the M23 south at the airport, follows it onto the A23 and crosses the South Downs into Brighton. Our booking form measures the run at about 43 minutes on a weekday morning. If you are staying in London, our Brighton and Seven Sisters day trip pairs the seafront with the chalk cliffs.
Coming down from Gatwick, the A23 reaches Brighton at its northern edge. Preston Park comes a few minutes before the seafront, with Hove to the right and Kemp Town left.
Pickups run around the clock, and the fare never changes with the hour. Early flights are the easy ones: the M23 is quiet before 06:00, and the chauffeur is at your door at the time we agree.
| Route | Road distance | Typical drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Gatwick South Terminal to Brighton seafront | about 29 miles | 40 to 60 minutes |
| Gatwick North Terminal to Brighton | shown in the form | allow the same window |
| Brighton seafront to Gatwick | the same road in reverse | allow up to an hour |
Mileage comes from the weekday morning route in our booking form. The time range builds in ordinary M23 and A23 traffic.
How much is a private car from Gatwick to Brighton?
This is a short run of about 29 miles, and the fare follows that distance for the whole car. Our form prices both directions almost the same, and headcount does not change it. The cards show South Terminal to the seafront; your exact figure appears in the form before you pay.

- Visitors starting a south-coast holidayfly into Gatwick, reach the seafront in about 40 to 60 minutes, and keep London for later. The onward leg can go on the same booking.
- Brighton and Hove residents flying outan early departure with suitcases is easier from your own front door. The car waits outside at the agreed time.
- Students and parents for the start of termthe campus at Falmer lies east of the city, on the edge of the South Downs. Tell us the halls or reception and the car stops there.
- Families with a week of luggagesuitcases, a pushchair and children who want the beach, not a long ride. The V-Class seats seven and carries seven cases, so everyone fits in one car.
Where in Brighton does the chauffeur drop you?
At the address you type in, at the door a car can reach. Three drops come up most often:
- Seafront hotelsmost face King’s Road west of the Palace Pier or Marine Parade to the east. The car stops by the front door; where a hotel opens onto a side street or a lane, tell us its name and we plan the stop around it, so the bags travel only a few steps.
- Brighton Marinaeast of Kemp Town at the end of the seafront road. Name the apartment block, the hotel or the boardwalk entrance in the notes and the chauffeur sets you down there, not in the multi-storey car park.
- University of Sussex, Falmerthe car leaves the A23 for the A27 towards Lewes before the city, so the campus is reached without crossing the centre. Parking on campus is limited, so it is a drop at the residence or building you name; on moving-in day the V-Class takes the boxes too.
The Marina and Falmer each show their own fare as soon as you enter the address. For the flight home, the chauffeur collects from the same door at the time we agree with you in writing.

What does a Gatwick to Brighton private car cost?
From £175 in a Mercedes E-Class or £210 in the seven-seat V-Class, South Terminal to the seafront. For this 29-mile run the fare is set per car by distance. North Terminal or a different address moves it a few pounds, and the form shows the figure before you pay.
What does the Brighton to Gatwick car cost for a flight out?
The same fare as the arrival run in every car, Brighton seafront to South Terminal. We time the pickup from your flight: the airline check-in window, plus up to an hour on the M23. Return (new ride) books both legs together.
How long does the Gatwick to Brighton drive take?
Between 40 and 60 minutes for about 29 miles, south on the M23 and then the A23 over the South Downs. Free-flowing traffic sits at the short end of that window. The booking form measured about 43 minutes for a weekday morning run.
Where will the chauffeur be at Gatwick if my flight is late?
Inside the arrivals hall at North or South, just after customs, with a name board. We follow your flight and shift the pickup to the actual landing time free of charge. The first hour of waiting after touchdown is included.
Is the price per person or per car?
Per car, for the whole vehicle one way. Two travelers or seven in the V-Class pay the same fare. The figure moves only with the car you pick, your terminal and the Brighton address.

Which car takes all our luggage to Brighton?
Choose the car by bags, not by seats. The E-Class and S-Class each hold two large suitcases, the Range Rover takes four and the seven-seat V-Class takes seven. When the cases outnumber one car, a second car can travel with you on the same schedule, with one contact for both.
Can you collect from Hove, Lewes or other towns near Brighton?
Yes. The chauffeur collects from, or drops at, any address you enter, whether that is Hove, Kemp Town, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lewes or Falmer. The fare follows the road distance per car, so an address beyond the seafront has its own fare, shown on screen as soon as you type it in. Departures from these towns are timed the same way, worked back from the flight.
