Can you carry golf bags for our group?

As a guide: Saloon and Estate each carry up to 4 golfers with up to 2 golf bags, our 6-seater carries up to 4 golfers with up to 3 golf bags, and our 8-seater carries up to 8 golfers with typically 6–8 golf bags depending on the rest of your luggage. Tell us your exact numbers and we will confirm the right vehicle.

Is this a long drive best split with a stop, or booked as one journey?

That is worth discussing with us directly given the distance — tell us your arrival time and preferences when you book or enquire, and we will confirm the most sensible plan for your journey rather than assume.

We want to combine Dornoch with other Highland golf or onward travel — can you help?

Yes — this is exactly what our private Scotland itinerary service is for. Tell us your route (for example Edinburgh Airport, Dornoch, Inverness, back to Edinburgh) and we will confirm what can be priced instantly and what needs a fixed quote for the whole itinerary.

Is flight monitoring included for our Dornoch collection?

Yes, at no extra cost. Give us your flight number and our team monitors it, so your driver is timed to your actual landing rather than your original schedule. A waiting allowance after landing is included with every airport collection.

Can we book a return journey back to Edinburgh Airport?

Yes. If your outbound journey is already booked and you just need a straightforward return, tell us and we will confirm it — you do not need a complex itinerary to arrange a return transfer with us.
