Edinburgh Theatre & Festival Taxi Service
Planning a night out at the theatre or attending one of Edinburgh’s world-renowned festivals? Let Kay’s Cabs take care of your transport. We offer professional, pre-booked private hire taxis to and from all major theatres and performance venues across Edinburgh. Whether it’s a Fringe show in the Old Town, a play at the Royal Lyceum, or a concert at Usher Hall, we’ll get you there safely, comfortably, and on time.
As a local private hire taxi service, we understand the importance of punctuality when it comes to live events. That’s why we monitor traffic conditions, offer advance bookings, and provide reliable return journeys — even late at night. Our experienced drivers know the city’s festival zones and traffic restrictions inside out, so you can relax and enjoy your evening without the stress of parking, delays, or missed curtain calls.
We regularly serve Edinburgh’s most popular cultural venues, including:
- Edinburgh Playhouse
- Festival Theatre
- The Royal Lyceum Theatre
- Usher Hall
- King’s Theatre
- The Stand Comedy Club
- Traverse Theatre
- Assembly Rooms
- Pleasance Courtyard
- Summerhall
- Underbelly and George Square Gardens during festival season
Whether you're a local theatre-goer or visiting the city for the Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, or Hogmanay events, Kay’s Cabs offers a dependable and courteous taxi service tailored to your needs. We can accommodate solo travellers, couples, or groups with our fleet of comfortable, licensed vehicles. Larger groups or special requests? Just let us know in advance and we’ll arrange suitable transport.
For local journeys within Edinburgh, we use metered pricing based on the official City of Edinburgh Council tariff. For journeys outside the city — including trips to hotels, restaurants, or airports — we offer fixed pricing upon request. This means no surprises, no surge pricing, and no hidden fees.
All our taxis are clearly marked with a white oval door sticker that reads “PRE-BOOKED HIRES ONLY,” and are operated by fully licensed, PVG-checked drivers. We are proud to be a trusted name for reliable and safe late-night travel across the capital.
If you're planning a full night out, why not book both your outward and return journeys together? We’re happy to arrange late-night pick-ups after your show finishes, so you don’t have to worry about queues or availability at peak times. We also offer flexible scheduling in case of show overruns or delays.
At Kay’s Cabs, we support Edinburgh’s vibrant arts and events scene and understand the value of a smooth, hassle-free experience. Whether it’s a last-minute booking or a planned evening of theatre and dinner, our team is here to help.
