Need a taxi in South Queensferry? Kay’s Cabs provides pre-booked private hire services for customers travelling to and from South Queensferry, Dalmeny, Hawes Pier, Edinburgh Airport and Edinburgh city centre.
We are based in Edinburgh, not South Queensferry, so this service is designed for advance bookings rather than instant local street pickups. To cover the cost of sending a vehicle from Edinburgh to collect in South Queensferry, a minimum fare of £30 applies to journeys starting in the area.
This means we can still reliably service South Queensferry customers, cruise passengers, airport travellers, hotel guests and residents — but in a way that is fair, practical and sustainable for both customers and drivers.
