The road route runs south through Crowborough and Uckfield on the A26, or across to the A22 and down through Chailey – about 33 miles of cross-country A-roads. Your driver will agree a pickup time that builds in the traffic, and for evening returns from Brighton we book the pickup before you go.
The train from Tunbridge Wells to Brighton means changing at Tonbridge or going via London or Hastings – there is no direct service, and the journey takes longer than the road on a good run. The coach is cheaper but slow and drops you in the town centre, not at your door or your hotel. For two or more people, or anyone with bags, the fixed taxi fare usually settles it.
Travelling as a group? The MPV and 8-seater minibus fares are in the table above, and we also run 10, 12 and 16-seater minibuses for larger parties – one vehicle, one fixed fare, everyone together. Book the return journey at the same time as the outward one and both ends are sorted: your driver will be at the agreed point at the agreed time, and if your plans shift on the day, call us and we will do our best to adjust. Regular travellers on this route – weekly commuters, hospital visitors, students – can set up a standing booking so the same run is confirmed every time without re-booking.
