Arriving in the UK
When you arrive at Edinburgh airport on 6th or 7th September 2013, look out for the Scottish Universities Welcome Desk. Student helpers will be there to give you information, and to direct you to the pick up point for the free bus service between Edinburgh Airport and the Edinburgh Campus. This will run every hour on the hour from 09.00hrs to 22.00hrs.

If you are arriving outwith these dates and times, the easiest way to travel to campus is by Taxi.  There are two options for taxis and cabs at Edinburgh Airport, and separate ranks for each:

Official Edinburgh Airport pre-booked private hire taxis

Edinburgh airport  approved and licensed private hire taxi service is managed by Edinburgh City Private Hire, and is located outside the east (UK Arrivals) end of the Terminal building.  If you need to book a taxi you can do so by phoning 0844 448 8576 or by visiting their desk at the UK arrivals.

Official Edinburgh Airport Black Cabs

City "Black Cabs" can be found outside the east (UK Arrivals) end of the Terminal building beside the coach park.

A taxi from Edinburgh Airport to the Edinburgh Campus is likely to cost between £12 and £15
