Worth knowing
Good to know about The Old Course.
Getting dropped off
Golf Place ends at the R&A clubhouse — players drop bags at the caddie pavilion while the car finds its patient spot.
Worth knowing
The daily ballot decides most Old Course tee times — keep travel flexible and we hold the car plan loosely until the draw.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
While you visit
Your chauffeur repositions rather than parks — when you message, the car is already moving towards the agreed point.
No parking, by design
Central attractions have effectively no visitor parking. The chauffeur answer is simple: set down at the entrance, wait off-site, return on your message.
Getting to The Old Course, and away again
A chauffeur to the Old Course — the home of golf, the Swilcan Bridge, and an hour’s drive from Edinburgh’s runways. The pattern is the one P5 applies everywhere: a fixed fare agreed before you travel, a driver briefed on this venue specifically, and a return that is planned rather than improvised at the kerb.

From Edinburgh Airport, allow 1h 20–1h 50 on a typical day — your driver plans around live traffic and the venue’s own calendar. Vehicles run from an everyday saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
