Edinburgh to Glasgow: what to expect

  • Glasgow Central
  • Glasgow Cathedral
  • Kelvingrove Art Gallery
  • Buchanan Street
  • SEC and Hydro

Edinburgh and Glasgow are Scotland's two great cities, around 50 miles apart. Trains run frequently, but a private transfer is faster door to door when you have luggage, are travelling in a group or heading to a specific venue.

The journey

The M8 connects the cities and takes about an hour. Allow longer in the morning and evening rush and when events are on at the SEC, Hampden or Murrayfield.

How booking works

Enter your pick-up and drop-off in the form at the top of this page, choose a vehicle and confirm. Your confirmation email includes pick-up instructions, and you receive your driver's name and number at least six hours before the transfer. See the full booking guide for detail.

Tips for this route

  • Large groups can share a van for a fixed price.
  • Add a stop at Linlithgow or Falkirk on the way.

Need more than one stop? Try hourly chauffeur hire, or book a return airport transfer for a 5 percent saving.
