- 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?
One car and one chauffeur between Gatwick and your door in Brighton, in either direction. Fuel and the airport parking are inside the fare. Four things come with every booking:
Met inside your terminal
The chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall of the North or South Terminal after customs, holding a board with your name. Bags go from the belt straight into the car.
Flight tracked, waiting included
We follow the flight and time the pickup to the real landing. The first 60 minutes of waiting after touchdown are free.
Any Brighton or Hove address
A seafront hotel, a flat in Hove, the University of Sussex at Falmer or the Royal Sussex County Hospital. The drop is where you say.
One fare for the whole car
Per car, not per person. The E-Class seats 3 with 2 large cases; the V-Class seats 7 with 7. Child seats are free.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at Gatwick?
In the public arrivals hall of your terminal, just after the customs exit. Gatwick has two terminals, North and South. Give us the flight number and we read the terminal from it; you do not need to know it yourself.
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.
If you cannot see the board when you walk out, call the number in your confirmation before leaving the hall. The chauffeur is already inside; a short call puts you together within minutes.
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.
The A23 enters the city from the north, so Preston Park is reached a few minutes before the seafront. Hove lies just west of the centre and Kemp Town just east.
The service runs 24 hours a day at the same fare. 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 |
The distance is the route the booking form measures for a weekday morning. The time adds the usual traffic on the M23 and the A23.

From £175 in a Mercedes E-Class, South Terminal to the seafront, and from £210 in a seven-seat V-Class. The fare is priced by distance per car, so another terminal or address moves it by a few pounds. The exact figure is shown in the booking form before you pay.

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.

In the public arrivals hall of your terminal, North or South, after customs, holding a board with your name. We track the flight and move the pickup to the real landing time at no extra cost. The first 60 minutes of waiting after touchdown are free.
