Why pre-book a ride before you leave the US

Uber and Lyft coverage in Scotland is patchy and unreliable, especially at Glasgow and Prestwick airports and in the Highlands. Pre-booking a licensed private hire car means a named driver is waiting at arrivals with your name on a sign, the fare is shown in GBP before you book, and you don't fumble with a foreign SIM card to summon a ride after a transatlantic flight.

Where we drive American travelers most

How payment works for US customers

You pay in British pounds (GBP, £). All major US credit and debit cards are accepted — Visa, Mastercard, American Express. Apple Pay and Google Pay both work. Your card statement will show a GBP charge converted by your bank at their current rate; we never add a foreign-exchange markup. Cash in GBP is also fine if you prefer.

Tips for American travelers

  • Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory in Scotland — 10% or rounding up is plenty.
  • Distances on our quote pages are shown in miles, not kilometers.
  • Cars drive on the left and Glasgow city center is a low-emission zone — a private driver avoids the fines.
  • There is no Uber XL or rideshare at Glasgow Airport — pre-booking is the only reliable option for groups of 5+.
  • Most hotels in Edinburgh have no on-site parking, so a drop-off transfer is usually cheaper than rental + parking.
  • Phone numbers starting with +44 work from US carriers; we also have WhatsApp for free messaging.
