Fixed-fare private transfer · per vehicle · 24/7
Booking a private transfer from Brighton to London means one fixed fare agreed before you travel, a driver who handles the route, and a door-to-door journey of roughly 60 miles. Rushxo confirms the price up front - what we quote is what you pay, day or night.
Below you will find the working numbers for this journey - vehicle-by-vehicle fares, peak and off-peak timings, a straight comparison against rail and coach, and the booking steps from quote to drop-off. Prices shown are from-prices per vehicle; your exact fixed quote is confirmed before you book.
The Brighton to London run is about 60 miles by road, but the clock depends heavily on when you travel. These are the planning figures our dispatchers use for this corridor:
Off-peak - mid-morning, early afternoon and most of the weekend. The realistic default for planning.
Weekday peak - roughly 07:00-09:30 and 16:00-18:30. Book the earlier pickup; the fare does not change.
Overnight - after 22:00 the roads empty out. Popular for dawn flights and late arrivals, at the same fixed fare.
Estimates for a direct run in normal conditions; your driver follows live routing on the day.
| Vehicle | Fare | Passengers | Large cases | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | from GBP 170 | 3 | 2 | Toyota Prius / VW Passat class. The standard fixed-fare car for up to three travellers. |
| Estate | from GBP 190 | 3 | 4 | Same passenger count, double the boot. The right call for golf bags, prams or airport-sized luggage. |
| Executive | from GBP 245 | 3 | 2 | Mercedes E-Class class. Leather, water, phone chargers - for client pickups and occasions. |
| MPV (6 pax) | from GBP 235 | 6 | 4 | VW Sharan / Galaxy class for families and small groups travelling together. |
| 8-seat minibus | from GBP 280 | 8 | 8 | Mercedes Vito class. One vehicle for the whole party, luggage trailer arrangeable. |
From-prices per vehicle for this route, fixed when your booking is confirmed. Reasonable hand luggage is additional to the case counts shown.
Because the fare covers the vehicle, the per-person cost falls fast with company: the saloon at GBP 170 works out near GBP 85 each for two travellers, GBP 57 for three - and the MPV splits six ways at around GBP 39 a head. That is the arithmetic that makes private transfer competitive with rail on this corridor for groups.
Unlike rail between Brighton and London, a private transfer leaves on your schedule, takes your luggage without limits, and costs the same per vehicle whether one of you travels or four.

The honest version: for a solo traveller on an advance ticket, the train can win on price. The private transfer wins when the value of door-to-door shows up - luggage, groups, odd hours, hard deadlines, or simply not wanting to manage two station transfers with a family in tow.
Message or call with Brighton to London, your date, time and passenger count. Quotes usually come back within minutes, 24/7.
We confirm the exact fare for your vehicle class in writing. That number is now fixed - traffic, hour and weather cannot move it.
Before travel you receive the driver's name, vehicle and contact, plus the operator handling your leg of the journey.
The driver arrives at the agreed slot, helps with luggage, and takes the best live route for the 60-mile run. Pay nothing extra at the kerb.
No meter anxiety. The fare does not climb in traffic, and there is nothing to settle or negotiate at the kerb.
Round trips and multi-stop days are quoted as a single fixed package, usually below two separate one-way fares.
A human answers. Booking changes, delays and special requests go through real support on phone or WhatsApp, 24/7.
Drivers are locally licensed private-hire professionals working with vetted local operators on every leg of the network.
One vehicle, the whole way. No connections to miss, no dragging suitcases between platforms, no waiting on a cold concourse at midnight.
Need the return leg too? Book both directions together; round trips on this corridor are quoted as one fixed package.
For meetings or events with a hard start time, give us the must-arrive-by time instead of a pickup time - we plan backwards from it.
Travelling on a Friday afternoon or a bank-holiday weekend? Book a pickup slot 20-30 minutes earlier than the calculator suggests - the fixed fare does not change, but your arrival buffer will thank you.
Per vehicle. Whether one person travels or the car is full, the fixed fare from Brighton to London stays the same - which is why groups of 3-4 often beat the equivalent rail fare per head.
Yes - the network runs 24/7 and the fixed fare does not change by hour. Night and dawn runs are among the most-booked slots on this corridor precisely because trains and coaches are not running.
Yes. Request infant, child or booster seats at booking and they are fitted before pickup at Brighton, at no extra charge for reasonable requests confirmed in advance.
A saloon carries 2 large cases plus hand luggage; an estate takes 4; the 8-seat minibus takes 8. Tell us the bag count and we size the vehicle correctly - see the vehicle table above for capacities.
A single advance rail ticket can be, for one traveller. But walk-up and peak fares often are not - and the transfer price covers the whole vehicle door to door. Split four ways, the saloon works out near GBP 42 per person.
Contact us on phone or WhatsApp as soon as you know. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before pickup on standard bookings, and we always try to rebook rather than cancel.
Yes - loading and unloading is part of the job at both the Brighton pickup and the London drop-off.
Most bookings are paid by card once the fare is confirmed. The price agreed at booking is the price charged - no meter, no surge, nothing to settle in cash at the kerb unless you prefer to.
Short comfort stops are no problem. Planned detours or extra pickups just need to be mentioned at booking so the fixed quote covers them.
