When five, six or nine of you land at Edinburgh Airport together, the question is whether to squeeze into two taxis or book one vehicle for everyone. For most groups a single pre-booked vehicle is simpler, keeps the party together and often costs less per head. Here is how to choose the right size.
Vehicle Sizes at a Glance
| Vehicle | Passengers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | Up to 4 | Couples, small families, business travellers |
| Estate | Up to 4 | Extra boot space for luggage or golf bags |
| People Carrier | Up to 6 | Families and mid-size groups |
| Premium Minibus | Up to 9 | Larger groups with luggage |
Capacity assumes passengers with normal luggage. If you have more bags than seats, say so when you book and we will assign a larger vehicle. See the full fleet page for details.
Why One Vehicle Beats Two Taxis
- One fixed price: the fare is agreed before you travel and shared between the group.
- Nobody gets separated: the group arrives together, which matters with children or at night.
- No rank queue: a driver meets you in arrivals with a name board instead of queueing for several cabs.
- Luggage planned for: you tell us what you are carrying and the vehicle is sized to match.
Groups Larger Than Nine
For groups above nine, call us. We arrange multiple vehicles to travel together at a discounted group rate, so you can still arrive as one party.
Typical Group Scenarios
Family Holiday
Two adults, three children and cases for a week: a people carrier keeps everyone and the bags in one vehicle. Tell us the children's ages and any equipment such as pushchairs when you book.
Golf Party
Four golfers and four bags usually need an estate or people carrier. Read our golf transfer guide for planning tips.
Wedding or Stag/Hen Party
Larger parties arriving on the same flight can be collected together, with the driver tracking the flight so delays are covered.
Business Group
A minibus gets a team from arrivals to the hotel or meeting in one vehicle, with a name board and help with luggage.
How to Book a Group Transfer
- Enter the number of passengers and bags in the booking form.
- Add your flight number so the driver can track delays.
- Confirm the fixed price and receive your confirmation by email.
