Edinburgh: Taxi & Car Hire

Notice that the discussions were adjourned for further contributions as of November 1, 2016 and therefore some of the information herein may be out of date and cannot be annotated by travellers at this point in date. "The " the " dark " taxis in Edinburgh (the same kind, which is used also in London) are very spacious and offer comfortable place for up to 5 persons.

You will know if they are available when the "taxi" lights up above them to mark one, just waving, or holding your arms up to draw the driver's eye. Ticket prices are measured within the town, with extra fees for the neighbouring town. It may be easy to get to a taxi stand later in the evening in the center of the town.

A few taxi driver will not provide you with meals (pizza, seafood and crisps, burger, etc.), and if you look in a very poor condition (excessively drunk), they will not run the chance of having you in the taxi. If you are ill in a taxi, a cleaning fee of 21.60 lbs will be charged.

Each driver is registred and licensed (as are the driver's cabs) and should present their ID in the cab. By and large, the chauffeurs are very kind and know the town very well, so if you give them an adress or a name of a nice place, you will never get an empty look again.

It is also possible to rent privately, which must be reserved in beforehand. Most of these businesses provide extra seating capacities so that they are preferred by groups with more than 6 people. Taxi services at the airports are available at the taxi stand of the airports. You can also book a taxi in person at one of the many taxi operators operating at the airports. There is a pre-booked taxi pick-up point on the side of the multi-storey parking garage directly in front of the terminals.
