Taxi Alternative in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is the second most visited city in the UK, and it isn’t hard to see why: stunning architecture, a millennium of history, and the largest cultural festival season in the world are just some of the attractions to be found in Scotland’s capital. Hire a professional chauffeur service with Blacklane as an alternative to taxi travel and cruise the city at your leisure, with your choice of three classes of vehicle: Business Class, our standard service; Business Van, an SUV for airport transfers and larger groups; and First Class, our service designed for special events, for example during the Edinburgh Festival.

Hiring a car in Edinburgh allows you total freedom when traveling through the city. Our private car service in Edinburgh is available round the clock, so you can always have a chauffeur when you need one. If you arrive on an early flight, we can shuttle you from the airport into the city; if you have meetings in the city, we can ferry you between them quickly and efficiently as an alternative to taxi travel; if all you want is a pickup from the bars of the Old Town, our premium limo service can be on hand to take you home in style. All our cars can be booked swiftly and simply using the Blacklane app, and all taxes, fees and gratuities are always included as standard.

Edinburgh International Airport is outside city limits to the west. When you book a door-to-door airport transfer in Edinburgh as an alternative to a taxi, you can enter your flight details, allowing your chauffeur to track exactly when you will land, so they can be there waiting for you at Arrivals. Our service also includes a waiting period of an hour from your chauffeur, in case of any delays in customs or baggage claim. The travel time between the terminal and downtown Edinburgh is around half an hour, so you can simply sit back and relax as you are shuttled from the airport to your destination.
