Brighton is the closest seaside city to Gatwick: a Victorian pier with rides, the Indian-style Royal Pavilion, the narrow lanes of The Lanes and a busy cultural and night life. Zonetransfers books you a chauffeur who waits in the hall you reach after customs and takes the road to Brighton with a closed fare from €99.
From Gatwick, Brighton is roughly 48 km away, which takes 45 min in normal traffic. Zonetransfers charges from €99 per car, whatever the number of passengers up to four, with no meter running.
It is the shortest route from Gatwick: south on the M23 and the A23 across the South Downs, and in about 45 minutes the driver drops you on the seafront, in The Lanes or in Hove.
