Glasgow Airport to Edinburgh: the run
From the terminal it's the M8 the whole way east, past Glasgow, Harthill and Livingston, then in on the A8 and Corstorphine Road to the West End, or the bypass round to the Old Town and Leith. 2 hours 10 mins in normal traffic; the evening peak into Edinburgh can add 15 minutes and we allow for it.
Against the alternatives: the Glasgow Airport bus to Buchanan then the train to Waverley is about an hour and three-quarters with two changes and your bags. This is one car, door to door, with a fixed price agreed before you land.
Meeting your driver, dropping in Edinburgh
Give us the flight number. We track it, wait 60 minutes free from landing, and the driver either meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board or texts you to the pickup point outside, whichever you choose when booking.
We drop anywhere in Edinburgh: hotels in the Old and New Town, Leith, Haymarket, Waverley, the university halls, or a home address. Put the destination in the form and the fixed fare covers it.
