Our Edinburgh taxi service is a private, door-to-door transfer at a fixed fare from Β£59 between Edinburgh Airport and the city centre, agreed before you travel. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board, helps with your luggage, and drives you direct to your hotel, office or address. No taxi queues, no surge pricing, no meter.
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) sits at Ingliston, 7.3 miles west of the city centre on the A8. It is Scotland's busiest airport, with a huge network of European routes plus transatlantic services.
Getting to and from it, travellers have options: the tram runs from the terminal to the city centre, the Airlink bus serves Waverley, and black cabs queue outside. But the tram does not serve every hotel, the bus does not run usefully at 4am, and the taxi queue after a late arrival can be long.
A pre-booked private transfer means a fixed fare, a confirmed pickup time, and a driver waiting for you, whatever the hour. The Royal Britain Airport Transfer runs its Edinburgh taxi service 24/7 with flight tracking on every airport pickup.
Fixed fare from Β£59, agreed upfront: Edinburgh Airport to the city centre is 7.3 miles and our fixed fare starts at Β£59 for a saloon. The price does not change with traffic on the A8 or the city bypass.
We know EDI: Edinburgh Airport has a single terminal, but the pickup and drop-off zones, the tram stop, the multi-storey car parks and the hotel shuttles are spread across a large site. Our drivers know exactly where to meet you and where to set down for departures.
Flight tracking as standard: Your driver monitors your inbound flight. If you are delayed coming into EDI, the pickup time moves with you at no extra charge.
The whole city covered: Old Town, New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Morningside, Portobello, South Queensferry, the university halls at Pollock and the business parks at Edinburgh Park and South Gyle: we collect from any address.
Festival and event ready: During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the International Festival and Hogmanay, the city fills up and transport gets stretched. Pre-booking our Edinburgh taxi service at a fixed fare is the way to guarantee your airport run.
Booking your transfer: Book with your date, address, flight details and party size. You get a fixed fare and a confirmed pickup time.
Airport pickups: For airport pickups, your driver tracks the flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a name board.
Airport departures: For departures, the driver comes to your door a few minutes early and helps with luggage.
Travelling with children? Child seats are available on request: give us the children's ages when booking.
Extra luggage and golf trips: Golfers heading for East Lothian's courses, skiers, or families with big cases should mention luggage so we send an estate or MPV.
Group transfers: Groups of up to eight travel together in our minibuses.
Edinburgh Airport to Edinburgh City Centre (7.3 miles, from Β£59) is the core route: around 25 minutes to the Old Town, New Town or Leith. Fixed price, day or night.
