Stirling to Edinburgh Airport
What the Stirling to Edinburgh Airport drive is actually like
Stirling sits 28 miles from Edinburgh Airport and the M9 runs almost the whole way, leaving the city past the Wallace Monument and joining the airport spur at Newbridge — one motorway, no city driving at either end, which makes this one of the most reliable airport runs in central Scotland at around 38 minutes. The pinch point is local rather than motorway: Craigs Roundabout and the A9 approach out of central Stirling back up on weekday mornings, so we collect from the door with that built in. Castle-side and Old Town hotel pickups are confirmed to an accessible street because several of the wynds above Broad Street are too narrow for an MPV.
Stirling to Edinburgh Airport is 28 miles via M9 eastbound to Newbridge, typically 38 minutes door to door off-peak. Cabslink quotes the journey as a fixed price before you confirm, so traffic on the day does not change what you pay.

Planning
How we plan Stirling to Edinburgh Airport
Bridge of Allan and University of Stirling collections join the M9 at Junction 11, not through the city.
Allow an extra 15 minutes when leaving central Stirling before 08:30 on a weekday.
Group bookings for the Stirling area are quoted per vehicle, so eight passengers travel as one van rather than two saloons.

Stirling to Edinburgh Airport — questions
How much is a taxi from Stirling to Edinburgh Airport?
A taxi from Stirling to Edinburgh Airport costs £75.10 in a standard saloon and takes about 38 minutes for the 28-mile drive on the M9. The fare is fixed at booking for the whole vehicle, not per passenger.
How long does it take?
Around 38 minutes for 28 miles via the M9 eastbound to Newbridge, rising to roughly 55 minutes if you leave central Stirling in the weekday morning peak.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track the inbound flight and move the pickup time to match the actual landing. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting from the actual landing time. After that, waiting is 50p per minute (75p per minute for larger vehicles).
Do you collect from the University of Stirling and the Old Town?
Yes. University and Bridge of Allan pickups join the M9 at Junction 11. For Old Town hotels, the pickup is agreed at an accessible street because some narrow wynds cannot take larger vehicles.
