🇺🇸 Edinburgh Airport (EDI) for US travelers
Most US arrivals land at Edinburgh Airport (EDI) in the morning after an overnight flight. Skip the taxi rank line, skip the airport tram-then-cab combo, and walk straight to your driver holding a sign — fixed price, locked in pounds before you left home.
Driver waits in the EDI arrivals hall with a name board — no app required.
We track Delta, United, JetBlue, BA and KLM arrivals in real time.
No metering, no surge pricing, no extra for early-morning landings.
Right to your hotel entrance — Old Town side streets and cobbles included.
Edinburgh is now the third-busiest cruise port in the UK. Many US cruise itineraries embark or disembark at Leith Cruise Terminal or anchor at South Queensferry. We provide private transfers directly to the dock or shuttle pier so you and your luggage avoid the shared coach.
Edinburgh Old Town has steep cobbled streets, tram-only sections and significant tourist crowding around the Royal Mile. A private driver can drop you closer than a shared shuttle bus and knows the legal pull-in points for places like The Witchery, The Balmoral, The Caledonian and most Royal Mile boutique hotels.
A common US-traveler mistake is flying into Edinburgh and trying to take a train to a Glasgow hotel with luggage. The train is fine if you travel light, but with 2+ suitcases per person a direct private transfer is usually faster, far less hassle and competitive on price — particularly for groups of 3+.
