How it works

Dropped at the gate, collected after.

The three medieval streets take cars gently; set-down at your college or the quad works any day except graduation week, when we brief the plan ahead.

01

Door to door, fixed

Any address to St Andrews at a price agreed in advance — no meter, no parking question.

02

Local drop-off knowledge

The three medieval streets take cars gently; set-down at your college or the quad works any day except graduation week, when we brief the plan ahead.

03

Term-time fluent

Open days, interviews, moves and graduation — each has its own timetable and access rules, and we plan around all of them.

04

Return staged, not hoped for

The pickup point and time are agreed before you go in — and adjusted live if the day runs long.

Cars & capacity

St Andrews from £149.

Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. Once you book, the price never changes.

Local knowledge

Good to know about St Andrews.

Getting dropped off

The three medieval streets take cars gently; set-down at your college or the quad works any day except graduation week, when we brief the plan ahead.

Worth knowing

Flights into Edinburgh beat Dundee’s thin schedule for most arrivals — the drive over the Tay is part of the welcome anyway.

Open days & interviews

Applicant days start early and far from home. A pre-booked car means arriving composed for the interview, not frazzled from the ring road and the park-and-ride.

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.

St Andrews, without the transport question

A chauffeur to St Andrews — Scotland’s first university in its seaside town, an hour from Edinburgh Airport across the Forth. 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.

The three medieval streets take cars gently; set-down at your college or the quad works any day except graduation week, when we brief the plan ahead. Flights into Edinburgh beat Dundee’s thin schedule for most arrivals — the drive over the Tay is part of the welcome anyway.

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.

questions.

Anything else — call us any time on 020 8742 2888.

How much is a chauffeur to St Andrews?

From £149 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 St Andrews?

The three medieval streets take cars gently; set-down at your college or the quad works any day except graduation week, when we brief the plan ahead.

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.

Do you do student moves to St Andrews?

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.

Can you help with a graduation at St Andrews?

Yes — a regular June and July booking. We set down near the ceremony entrance, wait through the photographs, and carry the gowns and the grandparents without anyone circling for parking.

Do you carry instruments and bikes to St Andrews?

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.

“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.”
