Edinburgh Chauffeur Service

Our Chauffeur Service in Edinburgh

Driven by care, backed by experience

Booking with AE Chauffeur Service in Edinburgh means a driver who knows the city's constraints before they become your problem. The Old Town's restricted streets, the bus gates, the tram route along Princes Street, and what August does to every journey in the city.

Hire by the hour, by the day, or point to point, booked well ahead or at short notice.

We cover corporate travel across the New Town and Leith, Edinburgh Airport transfers, golf days east into Fife and East Lothian, Festival and Tattoo evenings, and full days into the Highlands.

Our Drivers

Knowing where a car can actually stop

Half of driving well in Edinburgh is knowing where you cannot go. The Old Town's closes and wynds, the pedestrianised stretches, the bus gates, and the streets that shut entirely for the Festival, the Tattoo and Hogmanay.

Our chauffeurs are trained in executive service rather than simply in driving. They arrive early, they pick a drop-off point that works for the person rather than the postcode, and they stay composed when a route disappears.

They are trained in confidentiality and basic security awareness, and for airport work they know Edinburgh's terminal access and executive collection points as well as private aviation procedures.

Airport Transfers and Meet and Greet

Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee

Edinburgh Airport sits a short run west of the city, though the approach roads behave very differently in August. Your chauffeur tracks your flight and adjusts for early landings and delays.

You are met inside arrivals with a name board, luggage is handled, and you are on the road promptly. We work the same way at Glasgow and Dundee, and at the private terminals for clients arriving by jet.

Booking and Changes

Easy to arrange, easy to amend

Book online, on the app, or by phone. Written confirmation with your chauffeur's details comes ahead of the day, and there is a number that reaches a person.

Meetings overrun and dinner runs long. Extra stops, later pick-ups and changed drop-offs are handled without fuss.

Business and Corporate Travel

Finance, law and the West End

Edinburgh's business district is walkable until it isn't, and a day that takes in Charlotte Square, the Exchange, Leith and then the airport is much better done by car. For visiting delegations we coordinate several vehicles to arrive together rather than in dribs and drabs.

Corporate accounts get consistent chauffeurs, consolidated invoicing and a named contact.

The Festival and the Tattoo

August is a different city

For most of the year Edinburgh is straightforward. In August the population roughly doubles, the Royal Mile becomes impassable, and journeys that normally take fifteen minutes take an hour.

We plan around it. Alternative drop-off points, earlier departures, and collection spots that are actually reachable when the shows come out. If you are here for the Festival, book further ahead than you think you need to.

The Benefits of an Edinburgh Chauffeur

• Old Town access, bus gates and parking stop being your concern.
• Luggage stays secure in the car while you explore on foot.
• Door-to-door drop-off at hotel and restaurant entrances rather than the nearest legal stopping point.
• Cobbles and hills matter less when you are dropped at the door.
• One chauffeur and one vehicle for the whole day, however many stops.

What Can You Use Our Edinburgh Chauffeur Service For?

A Day of Retail Therapy

Multrees Walk, George Street, Harvey Nichols and the Grassmarket independents, with your chauffeur handling the bags so you are not carrying them up the Mound.

Golf

Edinburgh is the natural base for a Scottish golf trip. St Andrews, Muirfield, Gullane, Archerfield and North Berwick are all comfortable day trips east, with Gleneagles an hour to the north west. We handle early tee times, clubs, and the return whenever the round finishes.

Sporting Events

Rugby internationals at Murrayfield, football at Tynecastle and Easter Road, and racing at Musselburgh. Murrayfield on an international Saturday is one of the busiest days in the city's calendar and worth planning properly.

Theatres and Concerts

The Usher Hall, the Festival Theatre, the Playhouse and the Royal Lyceum. Your chauffeur collects at an agreed point so the evening ends when you decide.

Dinner Out

From The Kitchin and Restaurant Martin Wishart in Leith to the New Town and Stockbridge, we drop you at the door and wait nearby.

Whisky and Distillery Days

Distilleries across Fife, Perthshire and Speyside are a natural day out from Edinburgh, and considerably better with someone else driving.

Private Tours of Edinburgh

The Castle, the Royal Mile, Holyrood, Calton Hill and the New Town, at your own pace with the car meeting you at each exit rather than waiting at the bottom of a hill.

Day Trips to Stirling, St Andrews, Glencoe and the Highlands

Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, the coastal villages of East Neuk, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, or a longer run to Glencoe and the Highlands. Your chauffeur manages the route and the timings so the day stays yours.
