We’re based in Seaford and have been running Cuckmere Taxis since 2019. Airport trips are part of our everyday work alongside local journeys and hospital appointments.
The published airport fare covers Seaford, Bishopstone and Alfriston. A pickup in Bishopstone or Alfriston does not add a positioning charge. Tell us your full address so we can agree the collection.
Coming from somewhere else? We’re happy to check the journey and quote. Don’t assume another town has the same fare.
TRAVELLING FOR WORK?
Airport journeys for you
and your colleagues
Arrange a business trip with a local team you can speak to directly.
Receipts for your expenses
Receipts for Heathrow journeys are available on request. Mention that you need one when arranging the booking.
Booking for a colleague
Call with the passenger’s name and contact number, journey details and your own contact details for confirmation. On the form, enter your booking contact details, choose “I’m booking for someone else” and add the passenger’s details. Put your company name in the notes.
A clear fare before travel
We agree the fare and collection arrangements before confirming. Pay by cash or card, including contactless, in the taxi. For airport collections, give us the flight details so we can monitor the arrival.
A FEW DETAILS BEFORE YOU FLY
The right Heathrow terminal
Heathrow terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5
We cover Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the same published fare. Check your flight booking or Heathrow’s terminal finder, rather than guessing from an airline name.
Collections use the airport’s permitted pickup areas, not the departure drop-off lanes. Terminal 4 has different arrangements following the closure of its multi-storey car park in June 2026. We’ll agree the right meeting point for your terminal; meeting inside arrivals is available by arrangement.
Leave time for the road as well as the airport
For Heathrow, allow for the drive, your terminal and your airline’s check-in requirements. Traffic and overnight roadworks can affect the journey; a clear run on one day is not a reliable plan for every flight.
Heathrow currently recommends arriving three hours before an international flight, or two hours before a domestic or European flight. Follow your airline’s instructions if they differ, and add the road journey and a sensible margin before choosing your taxi pickup time.
Early-morning and overnight airport journeys are available by advance booking, subject to availability. Arrange yours ahead of time and wait for our confirmation.
WHEN YOU LAND
Let’s make the journey
home straightforward
We monitor your flight. Waiting caused by flight timing is free. The scheduled landing time helps us plan; it isn’t the exact minute you’ll be ready outside.
- Send the right flight details.
Tell us your flight number, arrival date and terminal, and whether you have checked-in bags. Let us know if anything changes.
- Keep your phone switched on.
Use the mobile number you’ll have after landing, including the country code for an overseas number.
- Follow the agreed collection instructions.
Your driver will explain where to meet. If you would prefer to meet inside arrivals, arrange it with us when booking.
CLEAR BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
What your £160 includes
| Journey | Per car |
|---|---|
| Seaford, Bishopstone or Alfriston ↔ Heathrow | £160 |
The price is for the car, not each passenger. It includes the standard airport drop-off or pickup charges for the agreed journey.
The normal published fare applies during the day, at night, at weekends and on bank holidays, subject to the festive exceptions below. Availability still needs our personal confirmation.
Additional pickups
On the route or within half a mile: no extra charge. Further off the route, the full one-way off-route distance is charged at £3 per mile. We’ll show the breakdown and confirm it with you.
Christmas & New Year
Standard fares do not apply from 20:00 on 24 December to 07:00 on 27 December, or from 20:00 on 31 December to 00:01 on 2 January. Request a personal quote for those periods.
Waiting and changes
Flight-timing waiting is free. Other waiting or unusual arrangements are agreed when booking. If an incoming flight is cancelled before the driver has been dispatched, we offer a free change of booking or a refund.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few things
you might be wondering
Can’t find your answer? Call 01323 899214 and tell us what you need.
Is £160 per person or per car?
Per car, for up to four passengers. It is the standard one-way fare from Seaford, Bishopstone or Alfriston to Heathrow, or back from the airport. Standard airport drop-off or pickup charges are included. Extra stops, unusual arrangements and festive periods need confirmation.
Do Bishopstone and Alfriston cost extra?
No. Both are covered by the published airport fare, without a positioning charge. An additional pickup can still add a detour; tell us all the addresses so we can check it.
How much luggage can we bring?
Our estate cars can normally carry about three large cases and two hand-luggage bags. Bag sizes and vehicle layouts vary. Tell us about pushchairs, golf clubs, walking aids or unusually large cases so we can confirm what will fit.
Can we travel with children or a fold-up wheelchair?
We don’t supply child seats, but you may bring your own suitable seat. Our cars are not wheelchair-adapted; fold-up wheelchairs and walking aids can be carried provided they fit safely. Tell us what you’re bringing before we confirm.
Can I pay in the taxi?
Yes, by cash or card, including contactless. You don’t need to pay to send a normal booking request. Any payment arrangements are agreed after the booking is confirmed.
Is my taxi booked as soon as I submit the form?
No. Review the details, then press Send in WhatsApp. Chris or Tom will reply to confirm availability, the fare and your pickup. Opening WhatsApp alone does not send your request.
What if I need a taxi soon?
We generally review requests between 8am and 10pm, without a guaranteed response time. During those hours, call for a journey less than two hours away. Outside those hours, call for travel before 10am that morning, or the following morning if you’re contacting us at 10pm or later. Early airport trips should be arranged and confirmed in advance.
