The people, not the platform

Meet your driver.

We don't hand you off to a random number plate. When you book, you get an email with your driver's name, photo, vehicle, and mobile — before the day arrives. Founded in 2008 by husband-and-wife duo Gordon and Wendy, who still drive and dispatch every day. Here's the team you'll be sitting behind.

Gordon, Co-founder & Owner at St Andrews Shuttle
18 yrs driving
Gordon
Co-founder & Owner
Known for
Knowing every back road to Edinburgh Airport

Gordon and Wendy started St Andrews Shuttle from their kitchen table in 2008 with one car, one mobile, and one rule: if you say you'll be there, be there. Gordon still drives the 4am airport runs himself most mornings — and he still answers his phone when it rings.

Wendy, Co-founder & Owner at St Andrews Shuttle
18 yrs driving
Wendy
Co-founder & Owner
Known for
The unofficial favourite of university parents

Wendy runs the bookings, the team, and most of the school runs. She's the voice on the other end of the phone when an anxious parent calls at 11pm, and she has driven more St Andrews students home for the holidays than she can count. Calm, kind, and unflappable in a snowstorm.

Telling the best stories between Leuchars and Anstruther

Davie
Driver
Known for
Never being late. Not once. Twenty-two years.

Davie has driven taxis in Fife since 2003. He's the quiet one — sets his clock to BBC pips, leaves five minutes early on principle, never plays the radio without asking.
