Edinburgh Waverley Station transfers

Edinburgh Waverley is the busiest arrival point for rail travellers coming into the capital, and many of our passengers step off a long train with heavy cases and a tight onward connection. A pre-booked car takes away the queue and the guesswork: you know who is collecting you, what the trip costs and which vehicle is coming before you even board.

When you book, enter the station as your pickup and add your train time and any meeting notes at checkout. Your driver works from the address and notes you give, so the more detail you add, the smoother the handover.

Journeys from Waverley often stay close by. Quartermile, the University of Edinburgh and wider Edinburgh are the nearby places this page links to, and they are common drop-offs for students, visiting staff and families arriving for graduation. Others use the station as the first leg of a longer trip, heading on to the airport or out across Scotland.

If you are meeting someone off a train, you can book the car in their name and add their mobile number so the driver can reach them directly.

Rail travellers tend to carry more than they expect. A saloon suits up to four passengers with two large cases. If you have three cases, choose the Estate Car; with four, the Standard MPV. Six passengers fit the Seven-Seater MPV with three cases, seven travel in the Premium MPV with seven cases, and the Eight-Seater Van takes eight people with eight cases. Larger parties can book more than one vehicle.

Your fare is fixed when you book, so a slow exit from the city centre does not change what you pay. You pay by card through Stripe at the end of the booking, using Visa, Mastercard or American Express. No card details are stored on cabslink.com. Transfers can be cancelled free of charge more than 12 hours before pickup. Between 3 and 12 hours the charge is half the fare, and under 3 hours it is the full fare.
