Travel notes
Good to know about Edinburgh to The Scottish Borders.
The run itself
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.
Where your driver meets you
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.
Timing & flight tracking
Your driver watches live traffic and, because we track the flight, leaves to match your actual landing rather than the schedule.
For the return leg
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.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
The Edinburgh–The Scottish Borders transfer, planned around your flight
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.

Your questions
Edinburgh to The Scottish Borders
questions.
Anything else — call us any time on 020 8742 2888.
How do I find my chauffeur at Edinburgh?
Your driver is inside arrivals holding a board with your name — no need to phone from the gate. We confirm the meeting point when you book.
What does the Edinburgh–The Scottish Borders car cost?
From £140 in a saloon, agreed in advance and inclusive of tolls, tracking and an hour’s wait. No meter.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes — agreed in advance, with no meter and no surprises whatever the traffic does.
Do you carry infant seats?
Yes — infant, child and booster seats on request (£8 each). Add them when you book with the child’s age and the correct seat is fitted before pickup.
What happens if I land late?
The flight is watched live, so a delay just shifts the collection — the included hour covers reclaim and immigration.
Can you take me back to Edinburgh too?
Yes — the return is the same fixed fare, and we time the The Scottish Borders pickup to your check-in cut-off so you reach Edinburgh unhurried.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
