Part of our Choosing an Edinburgh Airport transfer guide
Quick answer
For 5 to 8 people flying into Edinburgh, one pre-booked vehicle is usually cheaper and easier than two taxis. RTransfer has 6-seat people carriers (from £60 to the city centre), 7-seat Mercedes V-Class and 8-seat Ford Tourneo or Vito minibuses (from £85), all at a fixed price per vehicle with flight tracking and a driver waiting in arrivals.
Which vehicle for your group
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | City centre from |
|---|---|---|---|
| People Carrier / MPV (VW Sharan, Ford Galaxy) | 6 | 4–5 large + 5–6 cabin | £60 |
| Mercedes V-Class (long) | Up to 7 | 4–5 large + 4–6 cabin; golf bags welcome | £85 |

One-way prices per vehicle to the city centre. Longer journeys are priced per mile; see prices by vehicle.
One minibus or two taxis?
Two cars mean two fares, two queues and a group split up after the flight. One vehicle keeps everyone together, with luggage in one place. For eight people, £85 works out at about £10.63 each, less than the tram.
