Porta's same-day courier service in Brighton
A sofa going up three flights in Kemptown, a fridge for a flat off Western Road, a Marketplace win waiting in Hove, a wardrobe that has to clear before the tenancy changes: Brighton's same-day work is mostly bulky items in awkward buildings, which is exactly what Porta is set up for.
Porta connects you with vetted independent drivers whose vehicles run from a small van for one item up to a Luton, and who know the seafront restrictions, the narrow Lanes and the hills behind the city. Smaller urgent items go the same day too.
Everything runs direct from collection to delivery, one driver the whole way with no depot and no overnight wait, and real-time SMS updates on Standard and Premium bookings.
What same-day costs from Brighton
Same-day is priced on your actual journey, so you only ever pay for the distance your item travels, with no flat rate hiding the cost of a short hop or padding out a long one.
Every corridor out of Brighton, from a short hop to a cross-country run, is priced the same way. Enter your two postcodes for a live same-day quote.
Same-day collection covers Brighton and Hove and along the coast, from Portslade and Shoreham to Worthing, Lewes, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Burgess Hill, with Haywards Heath and Crawley inland. A driver is usually close by.

Choose how fast, and when it lands
You decide how quickly it moves and how firmly the arrival is fixed. Have it collected today rather than waiting for the next run, pick a two-hour window so you are not stuck in all day, or lock in delivery by 5pm or by 10pm when the deadline is real. Each one is a separate option, so you only pay for the certainty your job actually needs. The full list is on the same day courier page.
Brighton sits at the end of the A23, an hour from London and not much more from Gatwick, and a dedicated courier prices the run back up as well as the run down. Porta gives that return leg to another booking, so a same-day job to London or across the south is charged on the miles that carry your item.

Same-day courier in Brighton: questions
How quickly can a driver reach me in Brighton?
Usually within a couple of hours when one is nearby. Seafront traffic and the narrow streets around the Lanes make a booked window far more reliable than hoping, and an earlier request widens the options. Collection today takes your job before the next run.
Is parking and access a problem for a Brighton collection?
It can be. Much of the city is permit-controlled, the Lanes are too narrow for a large van, and seafront loading is restricted at busy times. Note the access at both ends when you quote so the right vehicle is sent and the driver has somewhere to stop.
Can you run same-day from Brighton to London or along the coast?
Yes. Up the A23 to London or west along the A27 towards Worthing and Portsmouth are both straightforward, and matching you to a driver already going that way keeps the price tied to the real distance.
Do you run same-day at weekends in Brighton?
Yes, every day including bank holidays. Weekend jobs are booked in the same way, though summer weekends on the coast are busy, so an earlier request helps secure a driver. See Brighton & Hove City Council's parking and travel information.
