Capital Cars continually work with Edinburgh Airport to enhance its service. This includes adding new hybrid vehicles to its fleet and charge points for electric taxis. This transition aligns with Edinburgh Airport's vision for sustainability through the Greater Good strategy.
New taxi monitoring system and automatic number plate recognition cameras (ANPR) smooth the flow of vehicles through the rank, ensuring taxis are ready and journeys can start without delay.
The airport taxi rank is exclusively operated and managed by Capital Cars. Other taxi operators can access the airport, which remains open to all operators, using the charged or free pickup and dropoff zones.
Charged pickup and dropoff is located in the ground floor of the multi-storey car park.
A free pickup and dropoff zone can be found in the Long Stay car park, around a ten minute walk from the terminal.
