Before you travel
Good to know about Edinburgh University to Edinburgh.
Worth knowing
August arrivals collide with the Festival — students moving in during the Fringe should double journey times or travel before 9am.
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.
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.
The Edinburgh University–Edinburgh transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. 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. 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.

questions.

What does the Edinburgh University–Edinburgh Airport car cost?
From £45 for a saloon, agreed before you book — the same fare applies in reverse, and larger vehicles are priced up front too.
Where are we met 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.
Can I book the return to Edinburgh University?
Yes — returns are welcome and often discounted, with the pickup point agreed before you go in and adjusted live if the day runs long.
Does the price change on event days?
No. The fare is fixed when you book — event-day traffic, closures and staging are our problem to plan around, not a surcharge.
How long does the journey take?
The 9-mile run is typically 15–25 min, depending on traffic and the event calendar. Your driver plans around both.
Can you take a group?
Yes — executive MPVs seat up to seven and minibuses up to sixteen, priced up front. Groups sharing one vehicle usually beat separate app cars comfortably.
