Journeys to Worthing Hospital we cover
Worthing Hospital is the main acute hospital for Worthing and the surrounding coast. We regularly carry passengers there for:
- Outpatient appointments, scans and blood tests
- Planned admissions, including early morning arrivals
- Discharges home, including late in the evening
- Visiting friends and family on the wards
- Staff travelling to and from shifts at any hour
- Regular treatment, such as weekly or fortnightly appointments
Why take a taxi rather than drive
Parking at the hospital is often busy, and after some treatments you will be advised not to drive yourself home. A pre-booked taxi takes you to the entrance and collects you from it, so you do not have to look for a space or walk from a car park.
If you need the same journey regularly, we can set it up as a recurring booking or on an account, so your car is arranged without calling each time.
Areas we collect from
We bring patients and visitors to Worthing Hospital from across the borough and the surrounding area, including Goring-by-Sea, Ferring, Durrington, Tarring, Broadwater, Findon, Lancing, Sompting, Shoreham-by-Sea and Littlehampton.
