For a pickup at Edinburgh Airport, book with your flight number. We track the flight and move the pickup to its actual landing time, so a delay or an early landing is already covered. Every booking includes a free waiting allowance, shown when you book, and the allowance is longer after a flight has landed. If waiting runs past it, the per-minute rate shown at booking applies.
A private taxi is the only option of the three that goes from your address to the terminal with no changes, and it’s the easiest one with heavy luggage. The Fly Dundee coach is the cheapest for one person travelling light. The train needs a change in Edinburgh before you reach the airport.
| Option | How it works | Journey time | Luggage | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private taxi | Your address in Dundee to the terminal door | Around 1 hr 20 min | Up to the limit of the vehicle you book | Early flights, families, groups, golf bags |
| Fly Dundee coach | Union Street, Dundee, to the airport, hourly day and night | About 80 to 100 min | Included | One or two people with light bags |
| Train | Dundee to Edinburgh, then tram or bus to the airport | Train time plus a change | You carry it between services | Trips that start in central Dundee |
Fly Dundee coach tickets start at £9 each way (Fly Dundee, October 2026). A taxi fare is charged per vehicle, not per person, so the difference shrinks when four or more of you travel together.
Pick the vehicle by the number of people and suitcases. Passengers and luggage must stay within the limits listed for the vehicle you book, so count golf bags and large cases before you choose.
All of these cars and their drivers are licensed for private hire. They’re the quickest to book, and short-notice journeys are often possible.

Good Journey Scotland quotes a fixed fare before you book and charges that fare, plus only extras you’re shown at booking, such as waiting past the free allowance.
Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall at Edinburgh Airport. You receive the driver’s details before you land, and the pickup follows your flight’s actual landing time, whether it’s early, late or on time.
From the terminal, the driver takes you straight to your address in Dundee at the fare quoted when you booked. If you’re arriving on a long-haul flight with heavy luggage, choose a vehicle with room to spare from the table above.
Work back from your airline’s bag-drop deadline, not the departure time. Check-in desks open two to four hours before departure depending on the airline, so check yours first.
Then add the journey time of around 1 hour 20 minutes and leave a margin for traffic. For example, if you want to be at the terminal by 04:00 for a 06:00 flight, a pickup in Dundee at about 02:30 gives you that margin.
Licensed private hire cars can often be booked at short notice. For a chauffeur-driven vehicle, book in advance, especially for early-morning pickups.

Students flying home often carry more luggage than is easy to take on a coach or a train with a change.

We collect from campus, halls or private accommodation in Dundee.
Business travellers can book a Mercedes E-Class or a chauffeur-driven V-Class for meetings or flights from Edinburgh Airport. Companies with regular travel can open a corporate account through the corporate enquiry form on our website.
