What private hire means here
Private hire is a car you book, not one you hail. You tell us where and when, we quote a fixed price, and a licensed driver turns up in a tracked car. For Motherwell that covers everything from a school run to a 4am airport pickup, and it's how we do all of our work, so there is no meter and no surprise at the end.
Our airport prices from Motherwell are in the table: Edinburgh is the nearer one from here, Glasgow is 55 minutes on the M74 and M8, Prestwick is quoted for the Ayrshire flights. Long-distance trips to Dundee, Perth, Carlisle or the ferry ports are priced on the same form.

Motherwell taxi questions
What's the difference between private hire and a taxi in Motherwell?
A taxi can be hailed or taken from a rank and runs on a meter. Private hire must be pre-booked and, with us, has a fixed fare agreed up front. Same licensing standards, no meter.
How much is private hire from Motherwell to Edinburgh Airport?
Fixed fare in the table above, about an hour via the M8. It is the same price from the airport back to Motherwell.
Can I book a regular pickup?
Yes. Tell us the days and times and we'll set it up as a standing booking with the same driver where possible.
