Which roads does the taxi take from Southampton cruise port to Brighton?

The M27 east, then the A27 along the south coast. It passes Chichester, Arundel and Worthing, and the A27 can be slow around those towns at busy times.

Can you drop me on Brighton seafront?

Yes. The seafront, Palace Pier and the Lanes are busy with limited stopping, so we agree the closest safe drop-off with you beforehand; the station, the marina and hotels are straightforward.

Can we stop at Chichester or Arundel on the way?

Yes. The A27 passes both, and an extra stop is added to your quote before you confirm, so there are no surprises on the day.

Where will I meet my driver for Brighton?

Dockside at your ship's terminal — City, Ocean, Mayflower, QEII or Horizon — inside the correct dock gate, holding a name board. We email you the driver's name and mobile number once they are assigned, and they help load your cases for Brighton.

Can you carry a cruise group to Brighton with all the luggage?

Yes. An MPV takes up to six passengers and an 8-seater minibus up to eight, with their cruise cases in one vehicle. Bigger parties travel in two or more cars booked together.

How long is the taxi from Southampton cruise port to Brighton?

About 1 hour 35 minutes in normal traffic for roughly 66 miles along the M27 and A27. The A27 can be slow at peak times, which we allow for.

Can you take us to Brighton and drop one of us at a station on the way?

Yes. Tell us the extra stop when you book; a stop on the route, such as Chichester or Worthing, is added to the fixed price before you confirm.

Fixed-price taxi from Southampton cruise port to Brighton — about 66 miles and 95 minutes door to door. Your driver meets you dockside at the City, Ocean, Mayflower, QEII or Horizon terminal when your luggage group is called, and the fare is fixed when you book.

Brighton is one of the shorter long-distance cruise-port runs, popular for a seaside extension of a holiday — the Palace Pier, the Lanes and the Royal Pavilion are all within easy reach of the seafront.

The route follows the M27 east and then the A27 coast road through Chichester, Arundel and Worthing into Brighton.

Brighton station is at the top of Queen's Road, a straight walk down to the Clock Tower and the seafront, and Brighton Marina is a separate harbour to the east of the town.

A big ship empties in a single morning, and the taxi rank empties with it. With a driver booked ahead you walk out of the terminal to a named car instead of a queue — leave the dock at 10:00 and you should be in Brighton at about 11:35.
