Campus teaching buildings, the Library and the Students' Union
Falmer Station and the American Express Stadium next door

Taxis to the University of Brighton
The University of Brighton has campuses and halls spread across the city, so a quick, reliable taxi makes getting between them simple.
Moulsecoomb campus & Mithras halls
The largest campus and student village, on Lewes Road about two miles north of the city centre. We run taxis to the campus buildings, Moulsecoomb Station and the Mithras halls (Brunswick, Goldstone, Hanover, Preston and Regency).
City campus (Grand Parade)
In the cultural heart of Brighton, a short walk from the beach and about a 10 to 15 minute walk from Brighton Station. Perfect for art, design and humanities students heading to a studio at 8am or home from a late crit.
Falmer campus
Home to teaching, nursing, sport and health courses and halls including Paddock Field and Great Wilkins, right next to Stanmer Park and the Amex.
Varley Park halls
University-run halls between Moulsecoomb and Falmer, including Cliffe, Coastland and Firle. We pick up and drop off at Varley Park around the clock.
Moving In, Moving Out & Going Home
Beginning or ending the year is the busiest time to be a student, and the worst time for surge pricing. One Taxi keeps fares fixed.
Freshers' move-in: Pre-book a taxi from Brighton Station, or straight from your family's car park, to your halls. Choose a larger vehicle for suitcases and boxes.
End of term: Pre-book your journey to the station or airport, and your driver turns up when you need them, not when you can find an app driver.
Airport transfers: Fixed fare transfers from Brighton to Gatwick from £60 (including drop off charge), and to Heathrow from £125. Enter your exact pick-up point in the app to see your fare. Sharing with flatmates or friends? A larger car splits the cost. See all airport transfers.
Graduation and visiting family: Book a car for parents, grandparents and guests, with fixed fares and no surprises.
Getting Home Safely After a Night Out
From Brighton's bars and clubs to the Students' Union, we get you home to halls or your student house without the walk, the wait or the surge.
Book from your phone and see your fixed fare first.
Track your driver in real time and wait somewhere warm and well lit.
Travelling with friends? Book a 5 to 8 seater and split the fare.
Local licensed drivers who know the quickest route back to Moulsecoomb, Hanover, Preston Park, Kemptown or Falmer.

Group Taxis for Societies, Sports Clubs & Friends
Heading to a society social, a match or a weekend away? Our multi-seater taxis fit 5, 6, 7 and 8 passengers, and you pay one fixed fare. Great for sports teams, flatmates, formal nights and group days out. See more group activities in Brighton.
