Pick-up and drop-off
We collect from any Hove address — the squares off Kingsway, the streets around Hove Park, Hangleton, West Blatchington and Portslade — and from Hove and Aldrington stations. At Gatwick you are set down on the departures forecourt of your terminal, North or South. The airport makes a charge for every vehicle using the forecourt drop-off zones. Guide prices include the airport drop-off charge.
Local knowledge
Tips for the Hove to Gatwick Airport run
- From west Hove, Hangleton and Portslade, your driver joins the A27 by the Hangleton Link Road rather than crossing Brighton.
- From central Hove and Seven Dials, Dyke Road Avenue leads straight up to the A27, which keeps you clear of the traffic around Preston Circus.
- The A27 bypass is busiest on weekday mornings and again from about 4pm, so we plan a longer run for flights at those times.
- Hove Station pick-ups can be pre-booked if you are arriving by train with luggage before heading to the airport.
