Before you travel
Good to know about Rosyth.
Getting to your terminal
We drop at the Rosyth cruise and ferry terminal across the Forth. Check-in about three hours before; ferry check-in closes 45–60 minutes prior — your driver aims the arrival at the open of check-in, not the crush before the gates close.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll and pickup fee is built into the price we quote. What you agree is what you pay.
When to book
Cruise turnaround days and summer sailings sell out fast — book 48–72 hours ahead to secure an MPV or minibus for the luggage.
Step-free & assistance
Step-free — tell us if anyone needs a hand and the driver meets you at the most convenient point.
Security & check-in
Terminal screening and passport control for ferry sailings. We advise a pickup time that clears it comfortably.
Luggage on embarkation day
Porters for cruise embarkation. Our estates and MPVs take a full cruise luggage set, so a fortnight’s cases travel in one car.
Getting to and from Rosyth
Port of Rosyth (Edinburgh) welcomes cruise ships and their thousands of passengers through rosyth cruise & ferry terminal, and the end of a voyage is exactly the wrong moment to negotiate transport. Disembarkation is staggered, luggage arrives in waves, and the taxi queue outside grows faster than it moves. A pre-booked chauffeur removes all of it: your driver is at the terminal before you clear the gangway, tracking the ship rather than the clock.
None of the usual friction applies. The fare is fixed when you book and holds whatever the traffic does; the sailing is tracked so a delay simply shifts the collection, with three-quarters of an hour of free waiting on top. The driver takes the cases, child seats come free, and you can cancel without charge up to a day before.
Transfers from Rosyth start at £55 for a saloon; estates, executive cars, MPVs and sixteen-seat minibuses are priced the same transparent way. It is typically 25–40 min to edinburgh — door to door, one price, no meter running.
