Queen Elizabeth University Hospital taxis
We're five minutes from the Queen Elizabeth on Whitefield Road, which makes us the nearest taxi office to Scotland's biggest hospital. Patients, visitors and staff, 24 hours, fixed fares. Glasgow Airport is a fixed £30.96 from the main entrance.

The taxi firm nearest the QEUH
The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus on Govan Road is enormous, and finding a taxi at 3am after a night in A&E, or at the end of a shift, is not a thing anyone wants to think about. We're based in the next street. Ring or book and a car is usually at the door in minutes.
Every fare is fixed before you book, so a patient going home to Paisley, a visitor back to the city centre, or a nurse to Pollok all know the price before the car arrives. Wheelchair-friendly 6-seaters are available on request.

Pickup points on the campus
The main atrium entrance of the adult hospital is the easiest meeting point: there's a drop-off zone right outside. We also pick up at the Royal Hospital for Children next door, the Emergency Department, the Institute of Neurological Sciences, the Maternity unit and the Langlands building. Tell us the ward or entrance and the driver will come to that door.
For staff we cover shift starts and ends around the clock, and the Hardgate Road and Govan Road sides of the site.

Why the QEUH calls Dream Taxis
Proximity and patience. Our drivers are used to hospital pickups: they wait at the door, help with bags, and don't mind a slow walk to the car. If a discharge is delayed, phone us and we'll hold or resend the car without charging you for the wait.
Airport transfers straight from the hospital are a fixed fare, and long-distance patient transport home to Ayrshire, Lanarkshire or further is quoted on the same form.
