Car Rental in Brighton Portslade

Rent a car at Brighton Port and explore the Sussex coast with two available rental companies. The area is located in east Brighton, near Brighton Marina and approximately 2 km from the city center. From here, you have excellent access to the A259 coastal route towards Eastbourne and the dramatic Seven Sisters cliffs.

Brighton Marina is Britain's largest marina and offers restaurants, cinema, and shopping right on the waterfront. From the port, it's just 20 km east along the A259 to Seaford and the entrance to Seven Sisters Country Park. Roedean, one of England's most famous boarding schools, sits visibly on the cliffs above the harbor.

Start early if you plan to visit Seven Sisters - parking at Birling Gap fills up quickly in summer. The A259 along the coast is narrower than it appears on maps - drive carefully when meeting oncoming traffic. Refueling at Marina is convenient and prices are competitive.

How far is it from Brighton Port to Seven Sisters? It's approximately 20 km east along the A259 and takes about 30 minutes. Park at Birling Gap or Cuckmere Haven for best access to the cliffs.

Is it easy to get to Brighton city center from the port by car? Yes, it's only 2 km and takes 5-10 minutes. Park at Churchill Square or Brighton Station and walk from there.

Can I drive to Lewes from Brighton Port? Yes, the historic town of Lewes is located 12 km north via the A27 and takes about 20 minutes. Lewes Castle and the charming old town are well worth a visit.
