    I must start by complimenting the driver of taxi 204 who was friendly and polite and very helpful. What a gentleman!

    I have a lot of confidence in this company having used it many times with no fuss. Taxis arrive on time and drivers are polite. Recommended!

    I'm fairly sure this is the biggest taxi firm in Edinburgh, if not then it's definitely one of the biggest.

    We arrived at Edinburgh Airport and headed to the taxi area. There, we were greeted by a man who…read moreentered our destination into a ticket machine, which gave him the fare. When the taxi arrived, we were surprised to find that it wasn't an official taxi, it was an Uber-style car with no meter. When we arrived at the hotel, the driver quoted us a higher price than the ticket machine. Eight (8) pounds more. We called the police, and surprisingly, the police sided with the driver! The police officer argued that there wasn't that much of a difference. It's clear that the Edinburgh police protect taxi drivers, not tourists. A double scam, for the driver and the police. I travel a lot, but I've never seen this in any civilized country. It's on par with an underdeveloped country. Don't take taxis at the airport; the train is much better. I don't think I'll ever go back to Edinburgh on holiday. Avoid Capital Cars.

    I would not use this company again. We reserved a vehicle to take 4 of us and our luggage to the…read moreairport. Pickup time was 3:20 a.m. At 3:30 they had not arrived and my son-in-law called to see what was going on. We were told they didn't have any drivers and it would be a while. Luckily, another taxi happened to drive by that could accommodate us (which was surprise at 3:30 a.m.). So we did get to the airport on time. Capital Cars had our number so I feel like they could have least sent us a text letting us know about the delay. A driver finally called at almost 3:50 a.m. but by then we were almost at the airport. If we reserve a car, I expect them to show up and if they are running late, I would expect a call. Very disappointed. I would give zero stars if I could.

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.
