Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
A private transfer from Edinburgh Airport (EDI) to Edinburgh city centre costs €80 per car for 1–3 passengers and €110 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 17 km via A90; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the Edinburgh Airport terminal, after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, with a sign showing your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
Edinburgh's centre is split into the medieval Old Town along the Royal Mile and the Georgian New Town, divided by the railway valley at Waverley station. The route from the airport runs east into the city, with congestion near the western approaches at rush hour. The festival season in August and the Hogmanay period bring road closures, and the Royal Mile and much of the Old Town are pedestrian or tightly restricted, so the driver stops at the nearest open street.
The Old Town is built on a ridge from Edinburgh Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood Palace, with the Grassmarket and Cowgate below. Princes Street and George Street form the New Town's main shopping streets, with the Scott Monument and the galleries on the south side. Waverley station sits in the valley between the two. Hotels are spread across the New Town, the West End and the Old Town. During the August festivals, tens of thousands of visitors fill the streets and access roads are restricted.
Public transport instead: Lothian Buses bus Airlink 100 from Edinburgh Airport to Waverley Bridge — about 30 min, £6.00 single ticket, about every 10 minutes in the daytime.
