Fixed prices, no surge

You see the total in GBP before you book — no Uber-style surge, no meter surprises.

Flight tracking

We monitor your inbound flight from the US so a delay never costs you a missed ride.

Fully licensed

Licensed private hire operator with insured, background-checked drivers — not a ride-share lottery.

24/7 dispatch

Red-eye landings, early morning departures, weekends — there is always a real person on call.

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 price is locked in GBP, 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.

FAQs

Can I book from the United States before I fly?

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Do drivers speak English?

Yes, all of our drivers are native English speakers based in Scotland. Many also know the country well enough to act as informal guides for first-time visitors.

Yes. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all supported. The charge will appear in GBP on your statement.

Are car seats available for kids?

Child seats and booster seats are available for £5 — just request one when booking. Scottish law requires a child restraint up to age 12 or 135 cm.
