Worth knowing
Good to know about Edinburgh to Leith.
Timing & flight tracking
Your driver watches live traffic and, because we track the flight, leaves to match your actual landing rather than the schedule.
The run itself
Expect 20–30 min to Leith. It’s a straightforward run, and flight tracking means the car leaves to match your real landing.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll and the airport pickup fee is built into the quoted fare. Nothing is added at the kerb.
For the return leg
Heading back to Edinburgh later? Book the return and we time the pickup at Leith to your check-in cut-off, at the same fixed fare.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
Driving Edinburgh to Leith
Most of what goes wrong on an airport transfer goes wrong at the two ends — the meet, and the price. From Edinburgh to Leith we take both off the table. Your driver is inside arrivals with your name, the luggage is theirs to carry, and the 20–30 min run to Leith is at a figure agreed when you book, not one that drifts with the traffic.
Reckon on 20–30 min for the drive. It’s a clear enough run, and because we track the flight the car leaves to match when you actually touch down — an early arrival or a long delay simply moves the pickup, never the price. Sixty minutes of waiting is built in, so a slow carousel at Edinburgh never costs you the car.
