Edinburgh Airport taxi: how to book and what you pay
Rushxo runs pre-booked Edinburgh airport taxis 24 hours a day. Tell us the pickup address, the flight and the number of passengers and bags; we quote one fixed fare per car, which you can book online in about two minutes, by phone on 020 8888 9988 or on WhatsApp. The fare covers the Edinburgh drop-off or pickup charge, waiting time if your flight is late and any night, weekend or bank-holiday travel. There is no meter and no surge, so the price at 4am on a Sunday is the price you were quoted on Tuesday.
Edinburgh Airport is about 8 miles west of Edinburgh city centre, off the A8 and M8. It has a single terminal. Public transport is the tram and Airlink bus to the city centre, which works well with one bag on a weekday afternoon and much less well at 5am with a family, a pushchair and four suitcases. Edinburgh Airport has a paid drop-off zone and a separate free area a few minutes' walk away; we use whichever suits your luggage and mobility, and the charge is included. During the Festival in August and at Hogmanay, pre-booking is the only reliable way to get a car at a known price.
Taxi to Edinburgh Airport: departures
For departures we work backwards from your flight. Give us the departure time and we suggest a pickup that lands you at the terminal in good time for check-in, allowing for the time of day and the usual traffic on the approach roads. The driver arrives at your door, loads the luggage and drops you at the correct terminal entrance for your airline. If you would rather set your own pickup time, that is fine too; the fare is the same.
Group travelling to Edinburgh? An 8-seat minibus is priced per vehicle, so four to eight people with luggage usually pay less per head than any train or ride-hail combination, and everyone leaves from the same door at the same time.
Taxi from Edinburgh Airport: arrivals and meet and greet
For arrivals at Edinburgh the driver tracks your flight number, so a late landing simply moves the pickup. Standard airport pickups include meet and greet: the driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board showing your name, helps with the bags and walks you to the car. If you prefer, we can arrange a phone-and-meet at the pickup point instead. Either way, there is no queue at a rank and no wandering the car park looking for an app driver who has just cancelled.
Arriving on a long-haul flight and heading straight on to a hotel, a cruise port or another airport? Tell us at booking and we route the journey and time the pickup accordingly; connections between Edinburgh and the other UK airports are among our most frequent runs.
Popular Edinburgh Airport taxi routes
These are the journeys we are asked for most often to and from Edinburgh. Every one is a fixed fare, in both directions, and the return is 10% cheaper when booked together.
Edinburgh Airport taxi prices: what affects the fare
The fare depends on distance, vehicle type and, for some long routes, the time of day. It does not depend on traffic, weather, demand or how many people are travelling. Saloon is the base price; estate, executive Mercedes E-Class, 6-seat MPV and 8-seat minibus are priced per vehicle. Extras such as child seats and additional stops are shown in the quote, and the Edinburgh airport charges are included. Ask for a quote for the exact journey and you will see the full price before you decide.
Compared with an airport parking week, a black cab on the meter or a surge-priced app at peak, a pre-booked fixed fare is usually the cheaper option for anything beyond a very short local hop, and it is always the more predictable one.
Why pre-book a Edinburgh airport taxi with Rushxo
Licensed private hire drivers and vehicles, punctuality tracked on every job, a real person on the phone at 3am, and a company that has been doing airport runs long enough to know which Edinburgh approach road is closed this month. Corporate accounts get one monthly invoice; families get child seats and space for the buggy; groups get a minibus and a single pickup time. Book once, and the car is there.

Get an instant quote online or call 020 8888 9988.
Do you offer meet and greet at Edinburgh Airport?
Yes. For arrivals at Edinburgh Airport the driver tracks your flight, waits in the arrivals hall with a name board and helps with luggage. If the flight is late the pickup moves with it at no extra cost.
Can I book a Edinburgh Airport taxi for 3am or 4am?
Yes. Rushxo runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and there is no night surcharge. Early departures and late arrivals at Edinburgh Airport are among our most common bookings.
Do you have 8-seater minibuses for Edinburgh Airport?
Yes. Saloon, estate, executive Mercedes, 6-seat MPV and 8-seat minibus are all available for Edinburgh Airport, priced per vehicle rather than per person. Child seats and wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be added at booking.
Is a pre-booked taxi cheaper than Uber to Edinburgh Airport?
At quiet times an app can be similar, but at 4am, on Fridays, in bad weather or when flights bunch up, ride-hail surge pricing regularly doubles the fare. A Rushxo fixed fare is locked at booking, whatever the demand on the day.
How do I book and can I cancel?
