04 — Our Promise

Three things we won't budge on, ever.

Friendly Scottish driver standing next to his shuttle van
“We're a small team. Every booking has our name on it.”
— Gordon & Wendy, owners
  1. 01

    We keep our word.

    If we've confirmed your booking, your driver is coming. Full stop. We don't cancel last minute, we don't pass you to another company, and we don't ghost. People still talk about being on time like it's remarkable — to us, it's the job.

  2. 02

    We're early. Always.

    Our drivers aim to arrive 10 minutes before pickup, every single time. We track your flight in real time, so a delay on your end never becomes a panic on ours. You land, we're there.

  3. 03

    One honest price.

    What you're quoted is what you'll pay. No mystery fees, no “extra for luggage” on the day, no card surcharges. The only time the price changes is if you end up paying less than you expected.

05 — Beyond the airport run

Four ways we move you, beyond a transfer.

Most people find us through Edinburgh Airport. But airport runs are only part of the story. Here's what else we quietly do — for golfers building their own week, for cruise passengers with one day in Scotland, and for travellers who want a country, not just a destination.

None of these are off-the-shelf. Each one is quoted, planned and driven by the same small team. If you can describe what you want, we can almost certainly build it.

05 — Transparent Pricing

Real prices.
Published. Honoured.

We don't play hide-the-fare. Here's exactly what every popular route costs — the same number you'll see in your confirmation email and on the driver's paperwork.

In effect since June 2023£ GBP
Unsociable hours
A flat £15 surcharge applies to private taxis between 10pm and 6am. Always shown before you confirm.
Extra luggage
Two cabin items plus one case per person included. Extra cases £5 each. Skis or golf bags £10 each. Bikes & surfboards £30.
Flight delay
We track your flight live. No extra charge if you land late — that's on us.

Need a route you don't see? We drive everywhere in Scotland — every route gets the same fixed-fare, no-surprise treatment.

08 — The Owners, not a call centre

Meet Gordon & Wendy. They answer the phone.

In 2008, Gordon and Wendy started St Andrews Shuttle with one car, one mobile number, and a kitchen table for an office. Eighteen years later it's still the two of them at the heart of it — still driving, still dispatching, still texting nervous parents at eleven at night to say he landed safely.

They built this for the same reason they still run it: they love St Andrews, they love the people who come here, and they care deeply about getting every single one of them where they need to be. That's the whole business. That's the whole story.

09 — How It Works

Booked in under two minutes.

We've been doing this since 2008, which means we've had plenty of time to strip away everything that wastes yours. Four steps. One quick verification on your first booking, then a one-click rebook every time after.

  1. Step 01

    Get your honest quote.

    Use the form, fire over a WhatsApp, or pick up the phone. Two minutes is all it takes — and the number we give you is the number you pay.

  2. Step 02

    Receive instant confirmation.

    Shared shuttle bookings confirm by email immediately. Private hires get a personal reply within an hour — usually faster.

  3. Step 03

    We share your driver's details.

    The evening before, you'll receive your pickup time and your driver's direct WhatsApp number. No call centres, no “please hold.”

  4. Step 04

    Enjoy the ride.

    Clean vehicle. Friendly local. The kind of journey where you actually arrive feeling better than when you started.

10 — The Fleet

The kind of vehicles you'd actually want to spend 80 minutes in.
