How It Works
Booking a Brighton taxi with RideOn takes just a few minutes. Our streamlined three-step process lets you plan every detail from your sofa in Hove, your hotel on the seafront, or the arrivals hall at Gatwick, with a fixed price confirmed before you travel.
Tell us your pickup and drop-off points, plus the date and time of your trip. Our system instantly calculates the best fixed price for your route, whether it is a short hop across town, a city-to-city transfer or one of our cruise port taxi transfers.
Choose from our extensive fleet: a saloon for solo travellers, an executive car for business trips, or an MPV for families and groups. Each option clearly shows passenger and luggage capacity, and a wheelchair accessible taxi Brighton residents and visitors can rely on is available on request, so you can pick the perfect fit for your journey.
Complete your booking online with secure card payment. You will receive an instant email confirmation with your driver's details. For airport collections, we track your flight, update pickup times automatically, and meet you in arrivals, so there is no waiting and no worry.

Our Brighton to Gatwick Airport taxi fares are fixed at the time of booking and depend on your exact pickup address, vehicle type and travel time. Gatwick is roughly 28 miles from Brighton, usually 40 to 50 minutes via the A23 and M23. Gatwick applies a forecourt drop-off charge to taxis, so check Gatwick's official drop-off guidance and your quote to see how it is handled. Book a return and you also receive a discount on the total fare.
Nothing changes for you. We monitor your flight free of charge and automatically adjust your pickup time if it lands early or late. You also get 60 minutes of free waiting time from the moment your flight lands, giving you time to clear passport control and collect your luggage.
Yes. We provide wheelchair accessible vehicles with ramp access and space for a carer or family member. Please mention any mobility needs when you book so we can allocate the right vehicle. If you hold a Blue Badge and are travelling to Gatwick, you may be exempt from the drop-off charge if the vehicle is registered with the airport in advance.
Yes. A taxi from Brighton to Newhaven Port usually takes around 25 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic on the A259 or A27. Ferry crossings to Dieppe are operated by DFDS, so check your check-in time on the DFDS Newhaven terminal page and allow a comfortable margin. We also collect foot passengers arriving off the ferry.
Yes. Our Brighton and Hove taxi service runs 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays. Whether you need a 4am run to Gatwick for an early departure or a late-night pickup after a show at the Brighton Centre, simply book online or call our team.
In Brighton and Hove, hackney carriages can be hailed or picked up at ranks and run on a meter, while private hire vehicles must be pre-booked. Both are licensed, and Brighton & Hove City Council explains the different taxi types. A pre-booked Brighton private hire taxi gives you a fixed price before you travel, which is especially useful for longer journeys such as airport runs, when traffic can push metered fares higher.
Yes. We offer pre-booked Brighton station taxi pickups at an agreed meeting point close to the station on Queens Road. You will receive your driver's name, vehicle details and contact number before pickup, making onward trips to the University of Sussex, the Amex Stadium or Brighton Marina quick and simple.
Yes. Our Amex Stadium taxi service covers Brighton & Hove Albion matchdays, concerts and events at Falmer. Roads around the stadium get very busy, so we recommend booking early and arranging your return pickup in advance. Your driver will confirm a convenient drop-off and collection point.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, PayPal, bank transfer and cash paid to the driver. Business customers with a registered corporate account can also choose monthly invoicing, which keeps company travel simple to manage.
