Edinburgh Airport Meet & Greet Explained

"Meet & greet" is one of those phrases that means different things at different airports. At Edinburgh Airport (EDI), here is exactly what happens when you book a meet & greet transfer with CabsLink.

Before you fly

You share your flight number at booking
24 hours before arrival you receive driver details by SMS and email
Our system pulls live arrivals data direct from EDI

When you land

Your driver parks in the short-stay car park at Level 0
They walk to the arrivals hall as your flight lands
You are met at the exit of baggage reclaim with a printed CabsLink name board
The driver helps with luggage and walks you to the vehicle (5-minute walk)

What''s included in the wait time

60 minutes free wait after your flight lands
Extra time is charged in 15-minute blocks at a fixed rate
Immigration and baggage delays don''t start the clock — the 60 minutes begins when you clear customs

The alternative: kerbside pickup

Kerbside is cheaper (no meet & greet fee) but you''ll:

Wait outside in the weather
Handle your own luggage
Find your driver in a busy pickup zone

For business travel, families with young children, elderly passengers, or heavy luggage — meet & greet is worth the small premium.
