New low-cost taxi service launched for Edinburgh Airport

Passengers using Edinburgh Airport are set to benefit from a new fixed-price return taxi service, linking travellers in both Edinburgh city centre and its outlying areas with the hub.

The new service, provided by Onward Travel, was launched today (January 17) and offers return travel between Edinburgh city centre and the airport for £12 when the taxi is carrying between one and five passengers and £18 for between six and eight people.

Anyone looking to reach the airport from less central areas of Edinburgh will be able to do so for £15 return for up to five passengers, with a larger vehicle carrying up to eight available for £21 return.

"Our new service offers fast, low-cost, fixed-price, door-to-door travel to and from Edinburgh Airport, in private, comfortable and reliable vehicles from an established and trusted taxi company," said Onward Travel's Allan Napier.

The company's vehicles will also carry passengers further, based on an alternative fare structure, with bookings for its services available from its dedicated desk in Edinburgh Airport's domestic arrivals hall or via www.onwardtravel.com.

Edinburgh Airport is also connected to the city centre by an express bus link, as well as the Edinburgh Shuttle minibus service.
