Edinburgh Airport Chauffeur Service
Edinburgh's airport lies west of the city at Ingliston, close enough that the New Town is a short drive and far enough that the tram is rarely the nicer option.

A single terminal serves the whole airport, reached from the A8 with the M8 and M9 both a few minutes away. That position is unusually useful. From the kerb you can be in the city centre quickly, on the road to Glasgow immediately, or heading north over the Forth without doubling back through traffic. Your chauffeur will know which of those you need long before you land.
Collections are made in the arrivals hall, where your chauffeur waits with a name board and then carries the luggage out to the car. Tell us your flight number and we plan the pickup around the published schedule and the clearance time we would normally expect. Through August, when the festival fills the city, the terminal is busy from very early in the morning and we allow for it.
Leaving the city, the drive out along the A8 is short but the western approaches slow noticeably at rush hour and on event weekends. We choose a departure time to suit the hour rather than the mileage. Your chauffeur collects from your hotel or house, loads the cases and drops you at the terminal door, which sits only a few steps from the check-in desks.
Guests arrive here for weddings, for golf, for the festival and for the Highlands. From the terminal the classic runs are into the Old and New Towns, north across the Forth to St Andrews and Gleneagles, west along the M8 to Glasgow, or up towards Perthshire and the glens on the days when the journey itself is the point of the trip.
Why Luxury Chauffeurs
Why Clients Choose Us for Edinburgh Airport
01
Winter mornings planned
Frost, de-icing and a dark A8 slow the first flights of a Scottish winter. We add time for it rather than discovering it at the terminal.
02
One terminal, one hall
A single hall serves every flight, so the meeting cannot go wrong. Your chauffeur is standing where passengers appear, and the car is parked minutes away.
03
West and north
Glasgow is a straightforward run along the M8 and the Forth crossings open the whole of the north, so a long onward drive is planned as one journey.
04
Discreet by habit
Plain, unmarked cars and chauffeurs who take their cue from you. What is said between the terminal and the front door goes no further than that.
At a Glance
Edinburgh Airport
Close to the city
A short drive along the A8 into the New Town, and quicker still outside the morning and evening peaks.
Golf and the north
St Andrews, Gleneagles and Perthshire all begin from this terminal without crossing the city.
Festival timings
August changes everything about Edinburgh's roads. Our collection times change with it.
Local Knowledge
Ingliston, the A8 and the Forth
Everything arrives into one hall, and the international and domestic streams converge close enough together that a name board is easy to find. From landing, allow roughly twenty-five to forty minutes on a domestic or European flight before you appear, and longer when a transatlantic arrival and a wave of short-haul aircraft land within the same half hour. We plan around the schedule you give us and hold the car regardless of the wait.
The terminal is reached from the A8 at Ingliston, with the M8, M9 and the city bypass all within a few minutes and the tram running alongside the final approach. Drop-off close to the entrance is chargeable, as it is at most UK airports, and there is a longer walk from the cheaper option further out. The western approaches into the city slow noticeably at rush hour, and through August they slow for most of the day.
Heading north, private cars use the Queensferry Crossing rather than the old road bridge, which is now reserved for public transport, and that adds a few minutes for anyone assuming the shorter line on the map. Fife and Perthshire follow from there. For a first flight we would ordinarily collect before six, when the A8 is empty; in winter we add time for clearing the car and for the slower run in the dark.

Four Steps
How Booking Works
Chauffeur booking with us is a conversation rather than a checkout. Every journey is priced individually.
01
Tell us the journey
Send the date, the addresses and the shape of the day on WhatsApp, or use the journey planner. There is no obligation and no card details are taken to get a price.
02
We quote in writing
You receive a written quotation covering the vehicle, the timings and everything included — no estimates that move later, and no surge pricing.
03
The car is held
On confirmation a vehicle and a named professional chauffeur are assigned to your date, and the terms are put in writing.
04
Your chauffeur arrives
Briefed on the route, the access and the waiting arrangements before the day, so nothing is decided at the kerb.

Edinburgh's airport lies west of the city at Ingliston, close enough that the New Town is a short drive and far enough that the tram is rarely the nicer option.
Corporate & Business
Corporate travel in Edinburgh
The city's finance and legal quarters sit close together, which makes an executive airport transfer here short and highly time-sensitive: fifteen minutes of traffic is the difference between comfortable and marginal. We collect from Charlotte Square, the New Town or the Exchange district and plan the run for the hour rather than the distance, with a quiet rear compartment for the last call before boarding.
For visiting teams, several vehicles can be reserved against one flight and coordinated through a single point of contact, with account billing arranged so that nobody settles anything personally. Where the day continues to Glasgow, Stirling or Aberdeen after the meeting, the same car and the same chauffeur carry on rather than handing you to somebody new halfway through.
Who We Drive
Who Travels with Us for Edinburgh Airport
Golf parties
Groups arriving for the courses of Fife and East Lothian, travelling with clubs that will not fit alongside four people in a saloon.
Festival visitors
Performers, producers and audiences arriving through August, when the city is at its fullest and a car at the doors is worth a great deal.
Whisky and touring
Guests beginning a tour of Speyside, Perthshire or the west coast, for whom the drive is part of the holiday rather than a means to it.
Scottish business
Finance, legal and energy travellers moving between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, often with a flight at one end of the day and a meeting at the other.
Events & Occasions
Golf, festivals and the Highlands
Scotland gives its visitors a reason to arrive at all hours, and the occasions here are unusually varied: a wedding at a castle in Perthshire, four days of golf on the east coast, a week in a lodge with the road north as part of the pleasure. The car belongs to your party for the whole of it, so an extra stop or a later start costs nothing more than a message.
August is its own season. With the festival and the fringe running together the city becomes difficult to move through and impossible to park in, and having a chauffeur who knows which streets are closed is worth more than the car itself. We plan festival journeys with wider margins and, where sensible, different approaches to the same address.

Timing & Availability
August, winter and notice
The festival month is the single busiest period in the Scottish calendar and vehicles commit early; if you are travelling in August, ask sooner than feels necessary. Hogmanay, the rugby weekends at Murrayfield and the big golf weeks also tighten availability. Outside those, spring and late autumn are comparatively quiet and short-notice bookings are frequently possible.
Winter deserves its own allowance. A dark, frosted morning on the A8 is slower than the same run in June, and a de-icing queue at the terminal is nobody's fault but everybody's problem. We build that into early collections rather than leaving it to luck, and confirm the plan with you the evening before by WhatsApp or email.
Professional Chauffeur Standards
The Standard We Hold
What a premium chauffeur service should mean in practice, rather than in a brochure.
Vetted professional chauffeurs
Every chauffeur is licensed, insured and vetted before they drive for us. They are briefed on your journey in advance and dressed for the occasion.
Discretion by default
Vehicles carry no branding. Your chauffeur speaks when spoken to, and what is discussed in the back of the car stays there.
Immaculate vehicles
Current-generation cars, valeted before every journey, with still water and charging in the rear compartment.
One point of contact
The same person handles your enquiry, your quotation and your booking, so nothing is explained twice.
Where We Travel
Nationwide Chauffeur Service
London is where most of our work begins, but a chauffeur can be arranged to and from any address in the United Kingdom.
Arrivals
Your chauffeur waits inside the terminal with a name board and helps with luggage to the car. Share your flight number and we plan the wait around the published schedule and the usual time to clear immigration and baggage reclaim.
Departures
We work backwards from the check-in time you want to make, allowing for the road, the hour of day and the walk from the drop-off. Cases are carried to the terminal doors, and your chauffeur will wait until you are inside.
Terminals
- Main terminal
We are an independent chauffeur service. We hold no official partnership with any airport, terminal operator or fixed base operator. Share your flight number and we will plan your pickup around the published schedule and typical clearance times.

Frequently Asked
Edinburgh Airport chauffeur — your questions
Ordinarily twenty to thirty-five minutes along the A8, though the western approaches slow at rush hour and during festival season. We plan the journey to the hour you are actually travelling rather than quoting one figure to everyone.
Yes. Your chauffeur parks, waits in the arrivals hall with a name board and takes the luggage once you come through. We have no airside access, so the meeting happens landside after you have cleared baggage reclaim and customs.
Yes, both are regular onward journeys from this terminal, north over the Forth or west into Perthshire. Golf bags travel best in the V-Class or the Range Rover. Mention the clubs when you enquire so we send the right car.
Yes. First departures are ordinary work and the roads before six are the easiest of the day. Confirm the pickup the evening before, and your chauffeur will be waiting outside your address at the agreed time.
