Getting Around East Sussex: A Local's Guide to Taxis in Ringmer, Uckfield and the Villages

Living in one of the villages around Lewes has plenty of appeal: the countryside, the quiet, the community. But getting around without a car can feel limited. Buses are infrequent, and asking friends for lifts isn't always practical. That's where we come in.

We've been driving Lewes and the villages around it since 1990, including the rural lanes other firms often won't cover.

Villages we cover, with guide fares from Lewes

• Ringmer: from £15. One of our busiest village routes, for commuters, shoppers and evenings out.
• Uckfield: from £35, for the town's shops, station and medical appointments.
• Barcombe: from £22. A quiet village with few public transport links, which we cover regularly.
• Chailey: South Chailey from £20, North Chailey from £25.
• Plumpton: from £25, and Plumpton College from £21.
• Laughton: from £25, for regular and one-off journeys.
• Rodmell: from £16, one of the closest villages on the south side of town.
• Newick: from £33, a larger village with a strong local community.
• Newhaven: from £29, handy for the ferry or for work on the coast.
• Peacehaven: from £40, along the coast towards Brighton.

These are guide fares from Lewes town centre for a standard car. Every route we price is on our fares page, or try the fare calculator for anywhere else.

Why village residents choose us

Outside the town centre, a dependable local taxi matters more than most people realise. Our regular village customers tell us the same things: the bus only runs a few times a day and not in the evening, and getting to a hospital appointment in Brighton, an early train from Lewes or a big supermarket shop is far easier with a taxi you can rely on.

We run from 8am until midnight Sunday to Thursday and until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays, and take early-morning and overnight journeys by advance booking. With vehicles up to 8 seats, we can take anyone from one passenger with shopping to a whole family off to an event.

Connecting the villages to Lewes and beyond

Many village customers use us for more than trips into Lewes: onward journeys to Brighton, Eastbourne, or airport transfers from the front door. Pre-booked journeys are priced when you book, so there are no surprises at the end.

If you need the same journey every week, such as a hospital appointment or a commute to the station, call us. We look after many regular customers across the district and will fit a booking around your schedule.
