Airport to the city: what to expect
It's eight miles. The driver leaves the terminal, joins the M8 eastbound at Junction 28 and comes off at Charing Cross or the Kingston Bridge depending on where you're staying. 32 mins in normal traffic, 30 to 35 in the evening peak. We drop at the door of any hotel, Central or Queen Street station, the Hydro or your flat.
Compared with the rank: black cabs at the airport run on the meter and the fare is whatever the traffic makes it. Ours is fixed at £40.84 before you land, includes the airport charge, and doesn't change if the M8 is slow.
Meeting your driver at Glasgow Airport
Give us your flight number when you book. We track it, so if you land early or late the driver adjusts. From touchdown you have 60 minutes of free waiting, which covers passport control and the baggage hall for most flights.
Choose meet and greet and the driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a board, then walks you to the car in the short-stay car park. Or choose a kerbside pickup and we'll text you when the car is at the pickup point outside. Either way, the fare is the same.
