Pickups in London, Drop-offs in Edinburgh
We collect from anywhere in Greater London, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City, major rail stations, hotels, and private addresses.
In Edinburgh, we can drop you at any address, hotel, office, or onward connection (city centre, suburbs, or airport).
If you need multiple drop-offs or a stop en-route (e.g., to collect keys or documents), just let us know when booking.
Vehicles and Luggage
We’ll allocate a suitable vehicle based on your party size and baggage. Please tell us passenger count and luggage details (cases, golf bags, strollers, instruments, etc.) so we can assign the right car or people carrier. Folded strollers and mobility aids are welcome; let us know dimensions if space is tight.
Travelling with Children
Child seats are not a legal requirement in taxis/private hire vehicles, but we always recommend using one for safety. We can’t guarantee in-car child seats as standard. If you’d like your child to travel in a seat, please bring your own or arrange a local hire. We’ll help load and secure it for the journey.
Payments, Receipts, and Pre-Payment
Pay card or cash to the driver, or request a secure pre-payment link in advance. We can provide email receipts on request. For high-value or out-of-area bookings, pre-payment may be required.
