Long-distance · the Scottish Highlands
A private car and driver from Edinburgh Airport straight to Inverness, Aviemore, Fort William, Oban and beyond, with no changes, no timetables and space for your luggage or outdoor gear.
Why a private transfer
Highland journeys often mean an early flight, a lot of luggage, or gear that does not fit easily on a train. A door-to-door private transfer removes the changes and the waiting.
No station changes or coach connections — straight from the terminal to your accommodation.
We track your arrival and plan the departure time so you are not waiting around after a long flight.
Instant routes are priced before you book; longer or unusual routes are confirmed with a fixed quote before you travel.

Distances and times are approximate and vary with weather, road works and season. Your confirmed price and route are agreed before you book.
Some Highland routes are priced instantly by road distance. Longer or less common routes — including onward ferry connections — are quoted individually so the fare reflects the real journey, rather than an estimate that might be wrong.
If the online quote form cannot price your journey instantly, it will offer you a request-a-quote option automatically.

Yes. A private car with one driver for the whole journey is often more comfortable than connecting trains or coaches, especially with luggage, golf clubs or ski equipment. Some Highland routes are priced instantly online; longer or less common routes are quoted individually so the fare reflects the real driving time.
Highland journeys can take three hours or more each way. We plan driver hours and rest breaks around long journeys, so please book with as much notice as you can.
