When not to book us: This is the route where we lose on price and will not pretend otherwise. The 025 starts at £5.40 one way, so a couple travels for £10.80 and a family of four for £21.60. Nobody drives 66 miles for that, and if the money is what matters you should buy the ticket. What you give up is control of the clock. The quickest run is 2 hours 5 minutes against a free-flow drive of about 85 minutes, departures stop at 22:40 and restart at 00:40 from Heathrow Central Bus Station, and every bag you own comes on and off with you. Book the car when you are landing into that overnight gap, when there are four of you and a surfboard or a pushchair, when the address is up on the hills rather than near the seafront, or when a delayed inbound would otherwise strand you on the wrong side of Sussex at midnight.
Where you meet your driver
- Give the full Brighton or Hove address at booking. Streets behind the seafront are narrow, one-way and often permit-only, and a driver who knows which end he is aiming for does not circle.
- The driver's mobile number reaches you in the supplier details email. Screenshot it before you fly rather than hunting for it in an airport with patchy signal.
- Your inbound flight is watched for free, so a late arrival moves your pick-up rather than cancelling it. The free waiting allowance included in the fare is spelled out under What it costs above.
- A name board in the arrivals hall is meet and greet, and it is a paid extra at checkout. The standard service is express pick-up: your driver is at the designated pick-up point, not at the black taxi ranks outside the terminals, whose fares Heathrow does not publish at all.
Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.
Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.

Questions people ask about this route
What is the cheapest way to get from Heathrow to Brighton?
The 025. National Express opens it at £5.40 one way and runs it up to 18 times a day, which no car can match on a 66-mile journey. We would rather tell you that than sell you something you did not need.
So when is a taxi to Brighton actually worth booking?
When the saving stops being the point. Four people paying £21.60 between them are already close to a car that carries their luggage too. Add a landing outside the 00:40 to 22:40 departure window, a child seat, an early flight out of Heathrow, or an address away from the centre, and the fixed fare is the cheaper answer once you count the taxi you would have taken at the far end anyway.
How long is the drive from Brighton to Heathrow?
Our routing engine measures the free-flow run at about 85 minutes. That assumes a clear road, which the corridor north out of Sussex and the orbital around London rarely are at the same moment, so treat it as the best case. The live figure at the top of this page is measured the moment you load it.
How long does the coach take compared with driving?
2 hours 5 minutes on the fastest departure, against a free-flow drive of about 85 minutes. In practice the gap narrows in heavy traffic, because both are stuck in the same queue, but the coach also stops on the way and the car does not.
I land at Heathrow at 23:30. What are my options?
Departures on the 025 finish at 22:40 and do not resume until 00:40, so a landing at that hour means waiting on an airport concourse or booking a car. This is the gap we are actually useful for, and the price does not rise because it is late.
Can you collect from Brighton for a very early departure?
Yes, at any hour, and the fare is the same as one at noon because it is set when you book rather than run up on a meter with a night rate. A collection at four in the morning for a first wave departure is routine on this route.
Do you carry surfboards, golf clubs and oversized luggage?
Tell us at booking, not on the pavement. A saloon will not swallow four large cases; pick an estate or a people carrier from the vehicle table on this page and the quoted figure is for that vehicle with the space you asked for.
Is the fare per seat or for the car?
For the car. Everybody in it is covered by one payment, which is precisely why the comparison with a £5.40 seat flips as the group grows.
Can I book the return, Heathrow back to Brighton?
Yes, on this same page. The reverse leg is priced separately below, because the two directions can be won by different operators at different figures.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before the pick-up time. Inside 24 hours the whole fare is due. Amendments use the booking link in your confirmation email, on the same deadline.
