Taxis

Cabs take about 20 minutes to reach the city center from Edinburgh International Airport, and the fare is typically around £15. (You'll pay less if your hotel is in Edinburgh West, and a couple of pounds more if you're traveling to a southside location such as the Ben Doran Hotel, Thrums Hotel, the Southside Guesthouse, or the University of Edinburgh's Pollock Halls of Residence.)

Tipping is at your discretion; I'd suggest rounding up to the next pound and adding a pound or two.

To get a taxi at the airport, just follow the signs to the taxi rank, which is outside the arrivals hall.

To find a taxi in the city center, go to the nearest taxi rank or--better yet--ask your hotel's concierge or receptionist to prebook a taxi the day before your departure.

For more information about cabs in Scotland's capital, visit the unofficial Edinburgh taxi site at www.fastblacks.com.
