Fixed-price transfers to and from Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland's busiest airport, with more than 14 million passengers a year passing through its single terminal eight miles west of the city centre, just off the A8 near the M8 and M9 interchange. Alongside easyJet and Ryanair short-haul there is a growing long-haul roster, so arrivals spread across the whole day rather than clustering at dawn.
The tram is a decent option into Princes Street if you have time to spare, but a pre-booked car is door-to-door and immune to Festival-season crowds. Fares are agreed up front, drivers monitor inbound flights, and the terminal drop-off charge is included in what you pay.

Arrivals hall with a name board near the international arrivals gate, a short walk from domestic baggage reclaim.
Terminals: Main Terminal
- Drop-offs at the terminal zone incur a charge, which our fixed fares absorb — the driver deals with it.
- The tram to Princes Street takes roughly 35 minutes; a car does the same trip in 20–30 outside rush hour and carries on beyond the city centre.
- During the August festivals the airport and city roads hit their busiest of the year — we add journey margin automatically in Festival weeks.

Book your taxiEdinburgh transfer FAQs
How much is a taxi from Edinburgh Airport to Edinburgh city centre?
The eight-mile journey typically takes 20–30 minutes outside peak traffic. Enter your postcode when booking for an exact all-inclusive figure — the terminal drop-off charge and flight tracking are both part of it.
Is a taxi better than the tram from Edinburgh Airport?
The tram is cheap but takes around 35 minutes to Princes Street and still leaves you walking with your bags. A pre-booked car costs more per person but delivers you to the door — for two or more travellers the gap narrows quickly.
Do you cover August Festival arrivals at Edinburgh Airport?
Yes, and we plan for it — Festival month is the airport's busiest, so we add buffer time to city-bound journeys and confirm pickup points in advance. Prices stay fixed even when the city is heaving.
Can I book an Edinburgh Airport transfer to Glasgow or Fife?
Absolutely — Glasgow takes 50–70 minutes via the M8, and much of Fife is within 40 minutes over the Queensferry Crossing. Long-distance quotes are fixed at booking like every other journey.
