Edinburgh Castle to Edinburgh Airport, planned properly
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. The Esplanade takes set-down outside Tattoo season — in August, Johnston Terrace below the rock is the working kerb. At Edinburgh Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 9-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 15–25 min for the 9 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
