Local first. Every time.
We are not a faceless national app. We are a Brighton business, run by people who live here, drive here, and know the shortcuts between the Lanes and the Amex on a match day. That local knowledge is what our passengers keep coming back for.
Company details
Western Cars Brighton is the trading name of Western Cars Private Hire Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 09243357. We are a private hire operator rather than a hackney carriage firm, which means our vehicles are booked through the office rather than hailed in the street or picked up from a rank.
Phone, email and the registered office address are all on the contact page.
