Travel notes
The The Scottish Borders road runs about 1h 05–1h 35 from Edinburgh. Traffic is rarely the problem here; your driver still watches it live and adjusts.
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall at Edinburgh with a name board and helps with the luggage before the direct run to The Scottish Borders.
Your driver watches live traffic and, because we track the flight, leaves to match your actual landing rather than the schedule.
Heading back to Edinburgh later? Book the return and we time the pickup at The Scottish Borders to your check-in cut-off, at the same fixed fare.
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
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 The Scottish Borders run we settle all three in advance: the flight is tracked from departure, the fare from £140 is fixed, and a named chauffeur is waiting with a board.
The drive takes roughly 1h 05–1h 35. 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.
