Edinburgh Airport transfers, door to terminal and terminal to door.
Private, pre-booked transfers to and from Edinburgh Airport across Scotland and the UK — from Edinburgh city centre and Fife to the Highlands and long-distance journeys south of the border. See your price before you book, professional drivers and optional Meet & Greet in arrivals.
We collect you from home, hotel or office at the time you choose and drop you at the terminal forecourt. Tell us your flight departure time and we will suggest a sensible pickup, allowing for check-in and the Queensferry Crossing if you are travelling from Fife.

For collections we monitor your flight; for departures we time the pickup around traffic and check-in.
Meet your driver
A professional, licensed driver in a clean vehicle sized for your party and luggage.
Visiting from the US or overseas? This is private ground transportation from Edinburgh Airport, not a shared shuttle: one vehicle and one driver for your party only, pre-booked, with your price shown before you pay.

Fife and beyond
From the Forth to the Highlands.
We cross the Queensferry Crossing every day for Fife and Edinburgh journeys, and also run longer private transfers north to the Highlands and south across the UK. These local guides are our most popular short journeys.
Travelling to or from St Andrews, Perth, Dundee, Stirling, Aberdeen, Inverness, Aviemore, Fort William, Oban or further afield? A private transfer means one vehicle, one driver and no changes, timed to your flight. Many longer journeys are priced by distance online; the rest we quote within business hours.
Named passengers, itemised receipts and a booking record with reference for every journey. Ask us about account terms for regular Edinburgh Airport runs.
Once you have collected your luggage, walk through to the arrivals hall. Your driver will be waiting with a name board. If you cannot see them, call the number in your confirmation before leaving the terminal.
Is waiting time included if my flight is delayed?
Yes. Give us your flight number and our team monitors it at no extra cost, so your driver is timed to your actual landing. A waiting allowance after landing is included in every airport collection; the amount is shown on the airport information in your booking.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as your flights are confirmed. Online bookings need a minimum notice period and early-morning departures fill up quickly, especially in summer and around holidays.
Can you take me to Edinburgh Airport from anywhere in Scotland?
Yes. Edinburgh city centre, Leith, Fife and the Lothians are priced instantly online. Longer journeys from Perthshire, Tayside, the Highlands and the Borders are either priced by distance online or quoted individually.
What is the Edinburgh Airport terminal charge, and is it included in my price?
Edinburgh Airport applies an access charge for pre-booked pickups and drop-offs at the terminal, which we pass on at £8.50 per qualifying terminal leg — this is included in your quote before you book, never added afterwards. If you are collected from an airport hotel instead of the terminal, this charge does not apply.
Can you collect me from an airport hotel instead of the terminal?
Yes. Tell us the hotel name and we collect from the hotel forecourt like any other address — useful if you are staying overnight before an early flight, or if your itinerary starts or ends at a hotel rather than the terminal. Airport hotel pickups and drop-offs are not subject to the £8.50 terminal access charge.
Can I book a 6 or 8-seater for a group, with extra luggage or golf bags?
Yes. Our 6-seater and 8-seater vehicles are built for groups and families travelling with extra luggage — tell us your passenger and case count when you book and the booking form only offers vehicles that can actually carry your party.
Do you offer Meet & Greet for Edinburgh Airport arrivals?
Yes, as an optional extra (£25) for a terminal collection. Every airport collection already includes your driver waiting in the arrivals hall with a name board — Meet & Greet adds your driver helping you with your luggage to the car. It is not available for airport hotel pickups or for drop-offs.
Is this a private car service or a shared shuttle?
A private car service. One driver and one vehicle for your party only, booked in advance with your price shown before you pay. It is not a shared shuttle, bus or taxi-rank pickup.
Do you carry child seats?
Tell us the ages of any children in the booking notes and we will confirm what can be provided. In a licensed private hire vehicle children may travel without a child seat if none is available, but we prefer to arrange one where possible.
Is ScotAir a real company, or a booking marketplace?
ScotAir Transfers is a real, licensed private hire operator, run by Corporate Taxis Dunfermline Ltd (Company No. SC773560), based in Fife, Scotland. You are booking directly with the company that drives you, not a marketplace that resells other operators’ cars.
How do I know my booking is actually confirmed?
You receive a booking reference and a confirmation email once payment has been verified. You can look up your booking any time using manage booking with that reference and your email address.
Can I pay online before I travel, including by Apple Pay?
Yes. Payment is taken securely online when you book, by card or Apple Pay. Your booking is confirmed once payment is verified — nothing is charged again on the day.
What happens if my international flight lands late?
Give us your flight number and our team monitors it, so your driver is timed to your actual landing rather than the original schedule, at no extra cost. This applies to international arrivals exactly the same as domestic ones.
Can I book a return journey, or use ScotAir for more than one journey on my trip?
Yes. Return legs are booked and priced independently, and if your trip involves several journeys — for example golf courses, Highland destinations or multiple hotels — see our golf transport and private Scotland transport pages for planning the whole trip as one enquiry.
Who can I contact if my plans change?
Use manage booking to view or amend your booking with your reference, or contact us directly — a real person handles enquiries, not an automated system.
