How much is a taxi from Motherwell to Edinburgh Airport?

A pre-booked saloon for up to 4 passengers starts from £98, and an 8-seater from £113. That is the price for the vehicle, not per person, and it includes the £10 airport fee. The price is fixed when you book — traffic, waiting at the barrier or a longer route does not change it.

How long does the Motherwell to Edinburgh Airport journey take?

The run is roughly 34 miles and typically takes about 50 min in off-peak traffic. We build in extra time for weekday rush hour and for early-morning flights, so tell us your flight number and we will work backwards from your check-in time.

What time should I leave Motherwell for a flight from Edinburgh Airport?

As a rule we collect three hours before a long-haul departure and two and a half hours before a short-haul one, then add the 50 min journey on top. Give us your flight number when you book and we will set the pickup time for you and confirm it the night before.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track the flight. Your driver adjusts to the actual landing time at no extra cost, and arrivals include 45 minutes of free waiting from touchdown. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name board, meet-and-greet is £25.

Can I fit luggage for a family in the 34-mile Edinburgh Airport run?

A saloon takes 4 passengers with a case each. For a family with hold luggage, buggies, golf clubs or skis, book the 8-seater at £113 — it carries up to 8 passengers with full-size cases and is the same fixed price whether it is full or not.

Can I pay the driver instead of prepaying?

Yes. You can prepay by card when you book, or pay the driver by card, cash or bank transfer at the end of the journey. Business travellers can also run the journey on a corporate account and settle by invoice.

Do you cover journeys beyond Motherwell?

Yes — we run pre-booked transfers UK-wide and cross-border, not just around Scotland. Any pickup and destination can be quoted on the fare estimator.
