Sumburgh Airport to Lerwick transfer round trip flexible timing

Get to your hotel without waiting for a shared shuttle or arranging a taxi

Round-trip private transfer from Sumburgh Airport to Lerwick accommodation, with pickup and drop-off timed to your flights. The driver meets you at the airport terminal. On the return, collection happens from your hotel with enough time to meet Loganair's check-in windows (60 minutes for domestic, 90 for international flights). Vehicles range from 7 to 57 seats, so the service scales from couples to large groups.

The experience

The drive from Sumburgh to Lerwick takes 30 minutes to an hour depending on traffic and your exact destination. Your driver will be waiting at the airport when you land. You walk out, find them, and head straight to your accommodation without queuing for a shuttle or negotiating with a taxi rank. On the way back, they collect you from your hotel at a time you choose, leaving enough buffer for you to check in and clear security before your flight departs.

The fleet includes air-conditioned vehicles ranging from 7 seats up to 57, so whether you're traveling alone, with family, or as part of a larger group (school parties, sports teams, business delegations) there's a vehicle that fits. Parking fees are covered in the price. The service is available at times that work for you, which means if your flight lands at an odd hour or you need an early morning pickup, you can arrange it without hunting for alternatives.
