Professional Private Hire for Theatre Nights
Our private-hire taxis operate across Edinburgh 24/7, offering punctual service for both outward and return journeys. We track traffic conditions near key venues and adjust routes in real time, so you never miss the opening act.
Larger groups can book an 8-seater in advance — perfect for families or friends heading to the same performance. Every vehicle is licensed, clean, and clearly marked with our signature white oval sticker reading “PRE-BOOKED HIRES ONLY.”
If you’re combining dinner and a show, we can arrange multi-stop trips between restaurants, theatres, and hotels. No rush, no stress — just smooth, door-to-door service.
Transparent Pricing and Reliable Service
For local journeys within Edinburgh, we use metered pricing based on the City of Edinburgh Council tariff. For longer trips — including hotel pickups, late-night returns, or airport transfers — we offer fixed pricing confirmed in advance.
There are no surprise surcharges for theatre nights or holiday events. Our fares stay consistent throughout the festive season, and all drivers are PVG-checked professionals dedicated to keeping your evening stress-free.
