Festival City Cars are a private hire taxi firm operating in Edinburgh. We used to have an account with them with work and they were generally quite reliable, especially when picking up from definite addresses (not so good for hospital environments where the passenger isn't sure where they're going, but I don't know any taxi company that is!). As they are private hire vehicles they are not allowed to pick up fares on the street, and consequently they are more likely to be available at busy times such as Friday or Saturday nights. However, as they are not black cabs it can be quite difficult at times to spot when they have arrived!! The staff are generally pleasant and helpful although not exclusively. Overall, a good choice after a night out, although bear in mind that they do need a more definite pick up address than somewhere on the Royal Mile! read more
