The app will also allow you to:

  • Add custom locations to the app map (your hotel…).
  • Create your own list of favourites as you browse.
  • Search the entire contents using a fast and simple text-search tool.

Taxis & Ride Hailing

Edinburgh - Taxis at Station

Various private hire companies (including City Cabs +44 131 228 1211) operate in Edinburgh as does Uber.

The only taxis you can flag down in the street though are black London-style cabs. As a sample fare, getting from Waverley Station to the bottom of Leith Walk in a black cab will cost around £7; £8 evenings and weekends; £15 over Christmas and New Year.
