The taxi arrived 50 minutes late so I missed the event. When I complained, I was advised that when you make an advance booking, central taxis guarantee a taxi but not what time it will arrive!! (kinda defeats the point of booking a taxi in advance!) Not the service you would expect of a company that calls itself 'Edinburgh's most reliable taxi company'!

Waited a long time after ordering a taxi. Was told 5 minutes more 3 times. Uber worked a lot betterread more

I heard about West End Cabs from a local friend staying at the Lindisfarne Island. The owner Martin…read morehelped me organize a pick up for my trip to the area to do some archaeology. While my original booking became untenable due to a car service in London missing a connection with me, Martin was very helpful in getting me booked with another taxi and then came through when it was time to leave the island (which is tricky due to tides and a causeway). KUDOS to Martin and West End Cabs, my highest compliments!

At the end of the castle tour, my sister became extremely unwell and we called Martin back to pick us up. At the time, we thought he would just take us back to the bus station. However, he agreed he would take us all the way back to Edinburgh (and he hauled a$$)!! He went out of his way to help us and we greatly appreciate him! He literally was a God send for us that day. I don't think any other cab driver would have done that. THAT will forever be a day we won't forget from our vacation!

I rarely use a car service when traveling, but this trip, we had a lot of luggage and knew it would…read morebe a struggle to get to the taxi stand after 14 hours of air travel. I chose Edinburgh Executive Carriages (ECC) because they were listed on the Edinburgh Airport Web site. I booked a driver from the airport to our hotel through the ECC Web site. The site requires you to submit your arrival date and time as well as the number of passengers and your preferred vehicle (sedan or van). According to the site, the company will contact you by e-mail with payment instructions if the timeslot is available. Having been through this sort of thing before, I was somewhat concerned about the length of time before I'd hear back. My concern was unnecessary since I received a reply within minutes with a link to worldpay to prepay the booking. We were going to be in Edinburgh for two weeks and had a lot of luggage, so I'd requested a van because I didn't think the sedan would have enough trunk space. There was some confusion on my part because the reply email specified a Mercedes as the vehicle. After a very quick back-and-forth series of emails, ECC confirmed that it was a V-class (van) with plenty of luggage space and we'd be fine. Whole point of sharing these details is to illustrate how refreshingly quick ECC is with email communicate. 5-stars for communication. I'd been to the Edinburgh airport only once before and since I couldn't find any details on international pick-ups with ECC (they go into detail about their planeside pickup, but that's only for UK travel), I had some uncertainty about where we'd meet our driver. We found him immediately upon exit from the Customs area. He introduced himself took my wife's bags as well as some of mine and led us out the door to the van, which was maybe 100 feet from the airport exit. The van was the most comfortable van I'd ever sat in and had no problem holding all of our bags (including our carry-ons) in the back. Our driver was quite personable and during the 15-20 minute drive to our hotel, we had a pleasant conversation. He seemed genuinely happy that we were visiting Scotland and made us feel welcome from the start. When we arrived at the hotel, he unloaded our bags and helped us inside to the desk where we parted ways. I have zero complaints about ECC, their staff, or the driver. On the contrary it was a great experience and the next time I need transportation from the Edinburgh Airport, I won't hesitate to use Edinburgh Executive Carriages.

I was welcomed at the station exactly on time. Tim knew what time my train was coming and had the door open ready and waiting for me the second i stepped of the platform. He was also extremely helpful and offered to collect me from the airport as my flight was delayed. He was understanding and patient and worked around me when my flight was late and i had to change the collection time. Quality service. 5 star service right from the beginning. Got me to and thro from my destination in record time. Arrived on time both ways. I would highly recommend and I also got the history of the town on my journey which was an extra bonus.
