When not to book us: This corridor has the best scheduled link of any route on this site, and pretending otherwise would be silly. The AIR runs up to every 20 minutes, drops to hourly after 21:15 and keeps going through the night, with a quickest journey of around an hour. Edinburgh Airport lists the same service as the 900, at up to every 20 minutes from 08:00 to 19:55 and hourly from midnight to 05:00, averaging an hour. Travelling alone at any time of day or night, that is very hard to beat. The number that changes the picture is who else is with you. Citylink describes a single as around £15, so two of you are at roughly £30 and four at roughly £60, while the drive is 40 miles the car covers free-flow in about 54 minutes and finishes at your address rather than a city-centre stance. Book the car for a group, for hold luggage, for an address out towards the suburbs or the coast, and for the traveller who does not want to work out a connection at three in the morning.
Where you meet your driver
- Name the Glasgow address in full when you book. The West End, the Southside and the city centre are separate journeys, and quoting to a postcode rather than a district is what keeps the price honest.
- The driver's phone number is sent in your supplier details email. Keep it on your phone rather than in an inbox you will be scrolling in a busy terminal.
- Your flight is followed at no charge, so a late arrival shifts the pick-up to the real landing time. The fare's free waiting allowance begins then, and What it costs above says how long it lasts.
- The airport's official partner for walk-up work is Capital Cars, whose rank sits at the East Terminus a short walk from arrivals. That is the queue you join if you have not booked. A car reserved here waits at the designated pick-up point instead, at a price agreed before you flew.
- A name board in the arrivals hall is meet and greet, added as a paid extra at checkout. Leave it off and the service is express pick-up.
Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.
Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.

Questions people ask about this route
How much is a taxi from Glasgow to Edinburgh Airport?
The quote at the top of this page is live for the date you are looking at and fixed once you book. It prices the vehicle rather than the seat, so the total is unchanged whether you travel alone or fill the car. Put your date into the form to see it.
How much does the AIR service cost?
Scottish Citylink describes a single as around £15, which is the operator's own wording rather than a published fixed fare, so check the price for your own departure. On that basis two people are at roughly £30 and four at roughly £60.
How often does it run, and does it run overnight?
Up to every 20 minutes, hourly after 21:15, around the clock. Edinburgh Airport lists the same service as the 900 at up to every 20 minutes from 08:00 to 19:55 and hourly from midnight to 05:00. A genuine 24-hour link is unusual and it is the strongest argument against booking anything at all.
How long does the journey take?
Around an hour on the quickest scheduled run, and about 54 minutes for the free-flow drive across 40 miles. The car's advantage here is not the running time, it is that the clock stops at your door instead of at a stance in the middle of town.
So when is the car the better buy?
When there are two or more of you, when you are carrying cases rather than a bag, when the address is out in the suburbs or along the coast, and when you are moving at an hour where nobody wants to stand at a stop. Roughly £30 for a couple is the number to hold the car fare against.
Do you cover Paisley, East Kilbride and the wider area?
Yes, and each is priced to its own address rather than folded into a Glasgow rate. Type the postcode into the booking form and the engine quotes that journey.
What if my flight lands late?
The driver tracks it and moves your pick-up to the actual landing, free of charge, with free waiting running from touchdown. What it costs, above, states the allowance included in the fare.
Is there a taxi rank if I have not booked anything?
There is. Capital Cars is the airport's official taxi partner and its rank is at the East Terminus, a short walk from arrivals. The difference from booking ahead is that you join a queue at a price you learn on the day rather than one you agreed before you flew.
Is the fare per person?
No, it is for the car and everyone in it. That single point is what turns a £15-a-head comparison around once your party grows.
Can I cancel the booking?
Yes, with a full refund more than 24 hours before pick-up. Inside 24 hours the fare is charged. Amendments use the booking link in your confirmation email, on the same deadline.
