Why Book Your Edinburgh Airport Transfer with Airport Rides UK

Why Book Your Edinburgh Airport Transfer with Airport Rides UK

The majority of people book a taxi to Edinburgh Airport regularly. They call out one or two numbers, or they add to the end of the queue and wait for the rail to stop at their number. Neither method provides you with the price before travelling.   Airport Rides UK does that for you. You will be presented with fixed quotes from licensed operators if you specify your pick-up point and terminal. It is you who select the car and the rate. Once booked, there's no changing.  

All the operators on the platform are fully licensed private hire operators. They know the approach to the terminal on the A8, they know when that City Bypass closes, and they know which side of the Gogarburn junction will save them ten minutes on a Friday afternoon. If you need to get a taxi from Edinburgh Airport after a late landing in the evening and/or before a morning flight, or a 4 a.m. early start to your Edinburgh city trip, you are booking a professional taxi service at a confirmed price.

  • Fixed fares from the beginning. No meter, no surge multiplier, and nothing added at the kerbside.
  • Reputable and certified drivers. All operators pass a 12-point compliance test before a single booking.
  • Free flight tracking. Your driver knows when you'll arrive, which means that you will not be incurring any additional costs due to a delay.
  • Cars for all size groups. Saloons, estates, 8-seaters and wheelchair accessible cars.
