Local knowledge
Every road toll and the airport pickup fee is built into the quoted fare. Nothing is added at the kerb.
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall at Edinburgh with a name board and helps with the luggage before the direct run to St Andrews.
The St Andrews road runs about 1h 15–1h 45 from Edinburgh. Traffic is rarely the problem here; your driver still watches it live and adjusts.
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
Heading back to Edinburgh later? Book the return and we time the pickup at St Andrews to your check-in cut-off, at the same fixed fare.
This is a journey where the outcome is decided before you land — whether the driver watched the flight, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is actually standing in arrivals at Edinburgh when you walk through. On the St Andrews run we settle all three in advance: the flight is tracked from departure, the fare from £150 is fixed, and a named chauffeur is waiting with a board.
The drive takes roughly 1h 15–1h 45. Traffic is rarely the issue; flight tracking is what matters, and it means the pickup shifts with your real arrival. Every toll and the airport fee sits inside the fare — there is nothing to settle at the kerb.
Quick facts

A saloon takes two large cases, an estate four, and our MPVs and vans far more. Tell us the load when you book and the right vehicle is sent.
The flight is watched live, so a delay just shifts the collection — the included hour covers reclaim and immigration.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
