Taxis & Ride Hailing
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.
