Guide prices for Brighton → Gatwick
Our guide prices for a pre-booked journey from Brighton to Gatwick Airport are:
- Saloon (up to 4 passengers): £80
- Estate: £85
- 6-seater: £115
- 7–8 seater: £150
These are guide prices and may vary based on:
- Your exact pickup location (Hove seafront vs. Preston Park vs. Kemptown)
- Vehicle type (saloon, estate, or MPV for larger groups)
- Time of day (early-morning pickups may carry a small premium)
- Whether you book in advance or need a last-minute ride
Why pre-booked beats metered
Metered fares are unpredictable — traffic on the A23 can add £20+ to a journey. Pre-booking with Western Cars means your fare is confirmed before you get in the car. No surprises, no arguing, no meter anxiety.
A confirmed fare is not just about cost — it's about arriving at the airport relaxed, knowing exactly what you're paying.
