Airport Car Delivery
We bring your car directly to the arrivals hall at Edinburgh Airport. You don't need to take a shuttle bus or wait in a queue at a desk. A driver meets you, hands over the keys, and you go. We track your flight so we are there even if you are early. The car is always clean and fueled for at least 300 miles.
Skip the shuttle bus and the rental desk
Most car hire companies at Edinburgh Airport (EDI) make you stand in a queue for 40 minutes after a long flight. Then you have to haul your luggage onto a crowded shuttle bus to reach a remote car park. We founded Thistrict in 2017 to stop that. Our office at 67 George Street is just 8 miles from the terminal, and we make that trip so you do not have to. A member of our team of 9 specialists meets you right at the arrivals gate. You get your keys in your hand in 55 minutes or less from the moment your plane touches the tarmac.
We track your arrival every 14 minutes
Travel plans change, especially with the weather in Scotland. We do not charge extra if your flight from London or New York is delayed by 3 hours. Our coordinators check the live arrivals board every 14 minutes to ensure your driver is waiting at the pre-arranged pillar. You will receive a text message with the driver's direct mobile number and a photo of the car as soon as you land. This system has helped us successfully deliver cars for 156 business delegations in the last year alone without a single missed connection.
Our aristocratic blue fleet means business
When you drive to a meeting at the financial district or the Gyle, you want to look like a professional, not a holidaymaker. Every vehicle in our fleet of 11 executive saloons is finished in navy blue. We have a strict rule for our fleet: no stickers and no ads. Your car will be completely unmarked, looking like a private vehicle or a high-end company car. This is why 47 active corporate clients in the Edinburgh area trust us for their visiting directors. We focus on the details so you can focus on your work.
Ready for the road with 300 miles of fuel
We know the last thing you want to do after landing is search for a petrol station near the Newbridge roundabout. Every Thistrict car is delivered with enough fuel for at least 300 miles of driving. For most of our clients, this covers their entire trip to Glasgow or up to Aberdeen without needing to stop for fuel once. Our 2-person cleaning crew hand-washes each car before every delivery. We check the tyre pressure and fluid levels 60 minutes before we leave for the airport to ensure the car is in top condition.
How we handle the paperwork
Honesty is important to us, so we stay upfront about the process. We handle 89.3% of the admin through a secure digital link before you even pack your bags. When we meet you at the airport, we just need a quick 2-minute check of your physical driving licence and a signature on a tablet. By the way, we don't hide extra fees in the fine print. The price we quote is exactly what you pay. We are not the cheapest rental option in the city, but we are the fastest for people who value their time. You can request a written estimate for your specific dates today.
