St Andrews to Glasgow Airport, at a fixed fare.
Glasgow is the long way west — 1 h 45 min across the country and onto the M8. You agree the fare before you book, not with a meter afterwards, and we follow the flight number you give us so the car is where it should be when you land.

The fare is the same in each direction and covers the car, not the seat, so a party of four pays once. Anything not named here — a hotel stop in Glasgow, an onward leg to Prestwick — is quoted before you book.
One figure, from the door to the terminal.
A longer drive is not a longer bill. The distance is already in the fixed fare, and so is everything the road asks for on the way.
- Road charges along the way, counted into the fare rather than added at the end
- Terminal parking at Glasgow, on the way out and on the way back
- The inbound flight tracked, so an arrival that slips costs you nothing
- Boot room for long-haul cases, or the MPV when four of them will not fit
Long-haul mornings start earlier.
Glasgow carries the transatlantic departures, and those want you at the desk well before the gate.
For anything leaving before 09:00 we plan the journey backwards from the departure rather than forwards from your alarm. The drive is longer than the Edinburgh one and the check-in window is wider, so the pickup lands earlier than people expect.
Send the departure time and, if you are connecting onwards, the airline you are connecting with. We would rather build the margin in now than look for it on the M8 in the rain.
- 01The check-in windowTell us what your airline asks of you. Long-haul desks want more of your morning than a domestic hop does.
- 02The drive westWe allow the full 1 h 45 min and then some, because the M8 is the part of this journey that can go wrong.
- 03The pickupWe propose a time and confirm it back to you rather than leave you working it out at midnight.
Book it now, sort the rest later.

Is the fare really fixed?
Yes, after online prepayment. Named-route fares include tolls, airport parking and agreed waiting time. Pay the driver instead and the displayed price is an estimate; the meter determines the final fare.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track the flight number you give us and move the pickup to match. There is no charge for a delay outside your control.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, yourself. Use your booking reference and the email you booked with at elitetaxistandrews.co.uk/manage — free up to 12 hours before pickup.
How many passengers and bags fit?
A saloon takes four passengers with luggage. Five to seven travel in the estate or MPV — choose the passenger count and we will send the right car.
Do you take card payments?
Card or cash with the driver, or ask us for a secure card payment link when you book if you would rather settle the fare in advance.
