The route
From Brighton (BN1, BN2, BN3) the natural line out is the A23 and the A27, joining A27 Falmer interchange, then Village Way for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 20 min off-peak becomes 20 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at American Express Stadium
Village Way North, on the university side away from the station ramp. The A27 at Falmer is single-carriageway either side of the ground and backs up badly, so an early set-down beats sitting in it.
Address: Village Way, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9BL.
Pickups across Brighton
We pick up anywhere in Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex postcodes - BN1, BN2, BN3. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.
We cover Brighton and the villages around it across BN1, BN2, BN3, with the A23, A27 as the main way out.
When to leave

EES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
