Shuttle Buses
Edinburgh Shuttle provides a door-to-door shared minibus service between Edinburgh Airport and any address within a defined City Zone (including homes, businesses, hotels and conferences venues).
The single fare is £10 and there are reduced rates for passengers travelling together to the same destination. Services run every 15 minutes and drivers aim to make no more than three stops on any trip.
The fleet's spacious seven-seat mini-coaches have plenty of room for passengers' bags and there are no extra baggage charges (subject to a maximum weight of 25kg).
Vehicles arrive and depart at the coach park, to the east of the terminal building outside UK Arrivals. Passengers without reservations are accepted subject to availability.
For more information or to book, call 0845 500 5000 (within the UK) or visit the Edinburgh Shuttle website.
Taxis
There are separate taxi ranks for private airport taxis and for city "black cabs" outside the east (UK Arrivals) end of the terminal building.
A third rank is available for advance-booked taxis on the ground floor of the multi-storey car park, directly opposite the terminal.
A journey to the city centre typically takes about 25 minutes. Many taxis are wheelchair accessible.
Taxi arrangements are managed by Onward Travel – tel +44 (0)131 333 2255
