Worth knowing
Good to know about Edinburgh University to Edinburgh Waverley.
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.
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.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Worth knowing
August arrivals collide with the Festival — students moving in during the Fringe should double journey times or travel before 9am.
Edinburgh University to Edinburgh Waverley, planned properly
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 Waverley, your driver meets you on the concourse with the train tracked — so the 1-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 10–20 min for the 1 miles, with 15 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.

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.
