New low cost taxi service launched
18.01.08
An new new low cost, fixed-price taxi service has been launched at Edinburgh Airport, offering a low cost link for travellers from the city centre and outlying areas to the hub.
The new service, provided by Onward Travel, was launched yesterday and offers travel between Edinburgh city centre and the airport for £12 for a taxi carrying between up to five passengers, or £18 for between six and eight passengers.
Those travelling to or from the airport from less central areas of Edinburgh will pay £15 for up to five passengers, with a larger vehicle carrying up to eight available for £21. The company will also carry passengers further, based on an alternative fare structure.
The service uses black taxis, private hire estate cars and people carriers, not mini-buses or coaches, and passengers have exclusive use of the vehicles. Drivers are licensed and regulated, and have all passed 'the Knowledge'.
Launching the new service, Allan Napier from Onward Travel said: 'This new service offers fast, low cost, fixed price, door-to-door travel to and from the airport, in private, comfortable and reliable vehicles from an established and trusted taxi company. We are certain that, when passengers learn about our new service, it will fast become Edinburgh Airport’s premier taxi service.'
Bookings can be made at Onward Travel's dedicated desk in Edinburgh Airport's domestic arrivals hall or via www.onwardtravel.com. The new service can be also be booked on 0131 272 8222.
