Meeting your driver at Edinburgh Airport
We follow your flight's real landing time, so an early or late arrival is no problem. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car. Waiting is free for 60 minutes from landing, and parking is included. Edinburgh has a single terminal, and every arriving passenger comes out into the same arrivals hall.
Going back to the airport
Going back, a pickup about 3 hours before a short-haul departure is a safe choice from Stirling (add an hour for long-haul): it leaves roughly 2 hours 15 minutes at Edinburgh Airport once you arrive. The driver collects you from your door and drops you at departures. Booking "Return" covers both legs and takes a discount off the return.
