Plan the transfer around your journey
Give the group a clear collection and arrival plan, including the details that matter at the terminal or station.
- Your destination
- Edinburgh Airport
- 01
Terminal and travel details
Give the exact airport, station or terminal, the travel date and any flight, train or sailing details relevant to the transfer.
- 02
Check the venue arrangements
Give the full destination address for Edinburgh Airport, your preferred arrival time and any coach access or parking instructions supplied by the destination. Tell us about additional stops or onward travel you need.
- 03
Collection and return arrangements
Share the arrival deadline and proposed collection point. For a return transfer, include the arrival details and ask how the meeting arrangements will work.
Planning this journey
Provide your travel date, flight number and required airport arrival time, including the check-in and passenger preparation your booking needs. Give the full headcount and exact pickup addresses, with numbers joining at each point. The estimator can take up to four collections for a straightforward route; a larger pickup network or different transfer groups needs a tailored brief.
Describe the number and size of bags and any equipment outside ordinary luggage. Golf bags, instrument cases, pushchairs or bulky items should be discussed explicitly rather than inferred from the passenger count. Tell us about any particular travel requirements before booking. Share the airport's relevant coach arrival instructions so our team can review the proposed arrangement instead of assuming a car drop-off location suits the coach.
Use the estimator for a straightforward journey, or send the complete itinerary as a tailored enquiry. Our team confirms the route, coach access, timings and vehicle availability before booking.
Use a complete group timetable
Choose one arrival requirement that meets the needs of everyone travelling together. If different flights or check-in arrangements make that impossible, list the separate groups and times for our team to assess. Check whether an early flight changes the calendar date of your collection. Keep your passengers' meeting instructions clear, with a lead organiser coordinating the final list and any changes. A coach journey time is not a substitute for the airport arrival plan, and the enquiry should show the actual deadline rather than only the flight's departure time.
Plan the homeward leg separately
For a return transfer, give the flight date and details again, along with the final drop-off requirement. Explain if passengers return on different services, stay elsewhere afterwards or travel with a different luggage load. The expected time everyone will be ready to board matters as well as the scheduled landing. Discuss how the collection will be coordinated and what happens if plans change; flight monitoring, open-ended waiting and automatic changes should not be assumed. Flights, check-in services and airport bookings remain separate from the private coach enquiry.

Good to know.
A few answers before you set off.
What details are needed for travel to Edinburgh Airport?
Include the full address for Edinburgh Airport, the travel date, passenger numbers, collection addresses and your arrival deadline. Share any instructions from the destination about coach access, parking and the return meeting point. Check admission or entry arrangements separately where required.
What should I include for a terminal or station transfer?
Give the exact terminal or station, the travel date, your flight, train or sailing details, passenger numbers and luggage requirements. Include your arrival deadline and the details of any return transfer.
How many people can travel on a coach?
Each coach has up to 53 passenger seats. For larger groups, the estimate builder calculates the additional coaches needed. Tell us about luggage and any particular travel requirements so our team can confirm the arrangements.
How do I get a coach hire estimate?
Use the estimate calculator on this page. Enter your passenger numbers, travel date, pickup points, destination and timings, then choose your journey arrangement. You can save your journey and send an enquiry to our team.
Can we have more than one pickup?
Yes. Add the pickup points in the estimate builder in the order you would like to visit them. The proposed schedule allows boarding time at each pickup. Our team checks the practical arrangements before confirming the journey.
Is the coach booked when I send an enquiry?
Sending an enquiry does not reserve a coach. We email a copy to you and our team, who check coach access, timings and availability before confirming your quote.
Can I save the journey and share it with passengers?
Save your private journey link to return to your plan and follow your enquiry. The calculator also provides a passenger itinerary without prices or contact details. Keep your private journey link for the organiser.
What if my journey needs a different arrangement?
Use the tailored enquiry form in the calculator for a different return route, multiple destinations or a journey it does not cover. Include your full route, dates, passenger numbers and preferred timings so our team can help.
