Private Transfer Inverness to Edinburgh: Scenic route option

The route itself becomes part of the journey, not just the getting there.

A private Mercedes minivan transfer from Inverness to Edinburgh accommodates up to six passengers and their luggage, collecting you from your hotel or airport and dropping you at your Edinburgh accommodation or city centre location. You can take the direct route or request a scenic alternative through the Great Glen, Glencoe and the Trossachs on the way.

The experience

The minivan collects you from your Inverness hotel or airport and heads south toward Edinburgh with your luggage stowed. The vehicle holds up to six standard suitcases plus six carry-on bags, so a family or small group travels with everything in a single booking. Bottled water is provided for the journey.

You have two routing options. The direct transfer takes you straight to Edinburgh and your accommodation or preferred drop-off point near the city centre. Alternatively, you can ask the driver to incorporate a scenic route down through the Great Glen and Glencoe, then through the Trossachs before reaching Edinburgh: turning the transfer into a landscape tour without the stop-and-start of a scheduled group excursion. The longer routing adds hours to the journey but keeps you moving through some of the Highlands' most recognizable terrain.

Pickup is included in the booking. The driver collects you at a time that suits your arrival, and you specify where in Edinburgh you want to be dropped off. Service animals are welcome on board.
