Ways to travel
Getting to & from Edinburgh University.
How a private chauffeur compares with the alternatives for Edinburgh University.
| How you travel | Time | Cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driving yourself | Plus parking time | Fuel + event parking | Parking at major venues is scarce, dear, and slow to leave |
| Public transport | Longest on event days | Cheapest | Peak crushes before and after events |
| Rideshare app | Varies | Surge pricing | Surges exactly when events end; pickup points chaotic |
| P5 Chauffeur Recommended | Door to door | Fixed in advance | Set down at the entrance, staged return, one price |
Before you travel
Good to know about Edinburgh University.
Getting dropped off
George Square and the central campus sit in bus-gate territory; our drivers thread the permitted routes and land at the right door first time.
Worth knowing
August arrivals collide with the Festival — students moving in during the Fringe should double journey times or travel before 9am.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Move-in weekends
Freshers’ arrival dates funnel every family into the same few days. Halls set one-way systems and timed unloading bays — we book the slot with you and bring an estate or MPV so a year’s kit moves in one run.
Moving in and out
A term’s luggage usually fits one estate; a full house move wants the MPV. Tell us about the instruments and the bicycle first.
The Edinburgh University run, planned properly
Chauffeur transfers for the University of Edinburgh — Old College to King’s Buildings, arrivals and graduations in the capital. 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.
George Square and the central campus sit in bus-gate territory; our drivers thread the permitted routes and land at the right door first time. August arrivals collide with the Festival — students moving in during the Fringe should double journey times or travel before 9am.
From Edinburgh Airport, allow 15–25 min on a typical day — your driver plans around live traffic and the venue’s own calendar. Vehicles run from an everyday saloon to a sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.

How much is a chauffeur to Edinburgh University?
From £45 for a saloon from Edinburgh Airport — fixed when you book, with every toll and charge inside the price. Any other pickup point is quoted the same way, up front.
Where will the car drop us at Edinburgh University?
George Square and the central campus sit in bus-gate territory; our drivers thread the permitted routes and land at the right door first time.
Is the return journey guaranteed?
Yes. The pickup point and time are agreed in advance, the driver tracks the day as it actually unfolds, and waiting on event and appointment bookings is deliberately flexible.
How far ahead should we book?
For ordinary days, 24 hours is comfortable. For major dates at Edinburgh University — finals, festivals, opening weekends — book as soon as you hold tickets; those days sell our fleet out too.
Do you carry instruments and bikes to Edinburgh University?
The MPV does — cellos, amps, a bicycle and a term’s clothes together. Mention the awkward items when you book and the right vehicle is sent.
Do you do student moves to Edinburgh University?
Constantly — airport-to-halls with a year’s luggage is a September staple. Estates and MPVs carry everything in one journey, at a fixed price parents approve of.
“I use P5 Chauffeurs every time I fly into and out of London. I'm impressed by their reliability, punctuality, and all-around professionalism. P5 is always my first choice.”
