Edinburgh Airport ↔ Oban
A private car and driver between Edinburgh Airport and Oban — around 114 miles, typically 2h30m–2h55m — timed to your flight and, where it matters, your ferry — with vehicles for solo travellers through to groups of eight.
Why book with ScotAir
Oban is Scotland's main ferry port to Mull, Iona, Colonsay and the Outer Hebrides — a lot of visitors arriving here are on a tight connection, not just a sightseeing stop.
Early flights and ferry connections are routine — we operate every day of the year, not just office hours.
Give us your flight number and our team monitors it at no extra cost, with a waiting allowance after landing.
A solo traveller, a family heading for the islands, or a party of eight — tell us your party and we confirm the right vehicle.
Get an instant price for a straightforward journey, or a confirmed quote for anything longer — no meter, no surprises on arrival.
Edinburgh Airport to Oban is around 114 miles by road, typically 2 hours 30 minutes to 2 hours 55 minutes depending on traffic and time of day, running via Stirling and along Loch Lomond. We price both directions against your real addresses, confirmed before you book or as a fixed quote for longer itineraries.
For US and international visitors: this is a private car service / private ground transportation, not a shared shuttle — one driver, one vehicle, for your party only.
Onward Highlands and islands
Many visitors combine Oban with time on Mull or Iona, or the wider Highlands. Tell us your itinerary and we will confirm what can be priced instantly online and what needs a fixed quote.
Edinburgh Airport → Oban for your ferry or a stay in the town — known locally as the Seafood Capital of Scotland, with whisky distilleries close by — then a return to Edinburgh Airport once you are back on the mainland, or onward transport to Fort William, Glencoe or the other mainland ferry gateway at Ullapool. Each leg is booked and priced as a real journey.
From a solo traveller to a group of eight, tell us your passenger and luggage count and we will confirm the right vehicle — Saloon, Estate, 6-seater or 8-seater.
