Student Taxi Service Edinburgh – University & College Transport

If you're a student living in or moving to Edinburgh, Kay’s Cabs is here to make your journey easier. We offer reliable, affordable, and pre-booked private hire taxis for students attending university, college, or language schools in the capital.

 

Whether you’re heading to campus, moving into halls, catching a train or flight, or just heading into town, our drivers are experienced, courteous, and know the city well. We serve all major educational institutions, including:

 

- University of Edinburgh

- Edinburgh Napier University

- Heriot-Watt University

- Queen Margaret University

- Edinburgh College (all campuses)

- ELC, Kaplan, and other language schools

 

We understand that student life is busy — and often budget-conscious. That’s why we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. For journeys within Edinburgh, we use the official metered tariff. For airport transfers, long-distance moves, or inter-city journeys, we can provide a fixed-price quote in advance.

 

Popular student taxi services include:

- Pick-ups and drop-offs at student halls or shared flats

- Airport transfers at the start or end of term

- Train station connections (Waverley or Haymarket)

- Transport for nights out, group bookings, or events

- Last-minute lifts to class, libraries, or exam centres

 

Our taxis are fully licensed and operated by local drivers who are PVG-checked and committed to providing a safe, respectful service. All vehicles carry our distinctive white oval sticker on the front door that reads “PRE-BOOKED HIRES ONLY”.

 

Group travel? No problem. We can provide larger vehicles for groups of friends heading to class, concerts, society events, or nights out. Just let us know in advance and we’ll arrange a comfortable ride for your crew.

 

Need help moving your belongings? We’re happy to accommodate suitcases, storage boxes, or musical instruments — especially during start-of-term or graduation moves.
