Find the right Edinburgh chauffeur

Scotland makes things easy when it comes to cost factors for your quote. There are no road tolls in the entire country, the Forth bridges are free of charge since 2008, which means you pay no extra charge driving north from Edinburgh into Fife. The Low Emission Zone in the city centre operates according to standards, and partner vehicles are compliant with it, so a pickup from the Old Town makes no difference.

There remains the comparison. Chauffeurs are hired by partners on an hourly basis, on a basis of fixed mileage, or in relation to minimum charge and this information is compared alongside the class, availability, and conditions associated with each type of hiring.

The area served covers Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and Borders, and chauffeurs are hired on a national scale when the route leads beyond these areas. Comparisons can also be made for chauffeur hire throughout the UK when the point of departure is outside the city.

Chauffeur Services Edinburgh

By the hour or by the journey

By the journey suits a fixed run such as going from one hotel to another venue or picking up passengers from their home prior to an early flight, or booking a place at an out of town restaurant.

By the hour or by the day booking suits most Edinburgh clients since most of the activities involved include touring as opposed to transfer. The vehicle and driver are reserved for the period of your booking where the chauffeur waits while you do your business.

Minimum booking periods, waiting periods, mileage allowances and whether or not a specific chauffeur will accompany you are all varied amongst partners. For a multi day itinerary this information is important and therefore included in the comparison process.

Choosing your class

The Business XL, which is the people carrier in the range, holds five passengers or six suitcases, and once you factor in the number of golf clubs, it fills up much quicker than the number implies: it normally takes two cars to transport a four-ball with its baggage. The Business car is the executive saloon for general use; the Standard car accommodates four passengers; and the First and Executive cars are the top-end saloons required for special arrivals.

For more than five passengers, it would be a case of multiple cars on a single booking, something that is sensible when booking a golf trip anyway.

Edinburgh Chauffeur Services

What Edinburgh books a chauffeur for

This is the city's distinguishing use case. St Andrews is located some 55 miles north-east over the Forth; Gleneagles is further north west, while the East Lothian coast east of the city features a series of championship links within an hour of the centre. The golfing day is the model case for hourly and daily car hire, where the chauffeur will wait through the game, rather than be booked on either side of it. Count clubs separately from cases where you are booking, as a set of clubs takes up the space of about two cases.

Edinburgh is the city of choice for tours of Scotland, whether that's one-day trips into Fife and the Borders or longer multi-day tours northwards. Multi-day tours require accommodation arrangements sorted with the partner upon booking.

In August the city becomes a venue for itself, as the Fringe festival and International Festival come together, and Hogmanay is much the same in December. Both events bring road closures and access limitations to the city centre, and it's during such events that having a vehicle hired and available nearby is worth a lot more than the price.

The financial and professional sector in the New Town makes up the corporate business, which tends to follow a schedule suitable for hourly car hire.

The airport is located eight miles west of the centre. For any run there, Edinburgh airport transfer service is more appropriate, as it includes flight monitoring and waiting free of charge. Longer trips will include runs from Edinburgh to St Andrews, Edinburgh to Gleneagles, and Glasgow to Edinburgh.

Book your Edinburgh chauffeur

The vast majority of chauffeur hire requests in Edinburgh take place on a daily basis as opposed to per trip basis. The Autofusion website will compare vehicle type, availability, costing model, and terms of operation among our approved partners without adding any toll fees throughout all of Scotland. We will arrange your chauffeur hire on an hourly, daily, or per trip basis.

FAQ

Edinburgh chauffeur: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your next chauffeur. Still curious? Our concierge team is one tap away.

No. The Scottish zones operate in a different manner from those of England: there is no daily charge payable, but rather a requirement for the vehicle to be within the emissions standards when driving in the city centre zone. Partner vehicles comply with this requirement, and any penalty charge incurred during a booked trip lies with the partner company.

No. Scotland does not have road tolls, and the Forth bridges have now been free since 2008, so a day out north towards Fife or Perthshire will not generate any additional tolls.

Yes, and it is one of the most popular booking categories here. St Andrews, Gleneagles and East Lothian golf courses all feature frequently in bookings. Book hourly or daily and provide both the club and passenger count.

Yes. Touring itineraries are booked the same way, with dates and routes entered at the start. Itinerary and overnight stays for the chauffeur depend on different partners, so the conditions should be checked for different options before making a decision.

The three ways are hourly rates, fixed mileage rates, or minimum charges. A golf day with a four-hour waiting period costs quite differently in terms of hourly rates compared to mileage rates. This is the very reason why it takes two minutes to compare them.

Yes, and early is the key word. The months of August bring the Fringe and International Festival, when many roads are closed and demand for the vehicles becomes exceptionally high.

This depends on the partners and is shown for each of the options. In case of a touring trip, it is necessary to consider the conditions, as the continuity is more important in a several days' stay rather than in a one day's journey.

A transfer is a trip that has a definite point of origin and destination. Chauffeur hire is based on time periods. For a simple trip to the airport, the transfer is more appropriate and less expensive.
