Film & TV Production Transport in Sussex
Gatwick's Home County. Brighton's Seafront.
Gatwick Airport sits physically within Sussex, and Brighton's seafront is one of the most-filmed stretches of coastline in Britain - Film Unit Car moves cast, crew and equipment across the whole county, from airport arrivals to the South Downs, on the M23/A23 corridor.
Sussex Isn't a Studio County - It's an Airport & Location County
Sussex has no major working studio of its own, and we won't pretend otherwise - what the county genuinely offers is Gatwick Airport, physically located in West Sussex, and Brighton's famous lanes and seafront, a location-filming favourite for decades.
A Sussex shoot day often starts with a Gatwick cast collection and moves to a Brighton seafront exterior or a South Downs countryside location - airport logistics, seaside crowd management and rural access all in one day.
When a Sussex production also needs a studio day, the M23/A23 puts the Surrey studio belt and wider London studios within straightforward reach - we cover that leg on the same booking.

How We Move Productions Through Sussex
A Sussex call sheet often pairs a Gatwick collection with a Brighton or coastal leg elsewhere in the county - and each has a genuinely different access problem, from airside arrivals to Brighton's narrow lanes and seafront crowds.
Our drivers are briefed on the specific route for the day: Gatwick's terminal and meet-and-greet procedures, how Brighton's seafront parking and pedestrian footfall change through the day, and the fastest M23/A23 route back toward London.
Our fleet is ULEZ compliant throughout, so a Sussex job that runs into Greater London for a studio leg or a second unit day never needs a separate booking.
