Airport Transfers for Edinburgh travellers
Every Edinburgh airport journey is arranged in advance: we take your flight number, watch the arrival time and set the pickup so the car is there when you clear the terminal — not before you land and not an hour later.
Edinburgh's city centre is split between the Georgian New Town and the medieval Old Town, with most hotels within two miles of Waverley station.
Edinburgh Airport is only eight miles from the city centre, but the Gogar approach and tram-line junctions make the last mile unpredictable. We build that into the pickup time rather than the fare, and for festival-season departures we shift Old Town collections to Chambers Street or Johnston Terrace where the road closures allow.

Local knowledge
How pickups work in Edinburgh

- During the August festivals road closures around the Old Town shift pickups to Chambers Street or Johnston Terrace.
- Waverley pickups use the Market Street ramp rather than the taxi rank.

FAQs
Airport Transfers in Edinburgh — questions
How early should my Edinburgh pickup be for a flight?
We work back from your departure time using the live drive time, then add a check-in buffer — typically three hours for long haul and two for domestic, adjusted for the Edinburgh traffic pattern that morning.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your arrival is tracked, so the pickup slides with the flight. There is no charge for the delay itself.
Can the driver meet me inside the terminal?
Yes — add meet and greet and your driver waits in arrivals with a name board and helps with luggage.
