Leith’s mix of dockside flats, busy Walk traffic and older tenement streets calls for a driver who knows more than just the main road out. Get Ryde sends local, licensed drivers who move through Leith and onto the bypass without wasted time. Alongside Edinburgh Airport, we also arrange journeys to Glasgow Airport, Prestwick International Airport, Newcastle International Airport, Heathrow Airport, Manchester Airport, and Birmingham Airport. Coverage extends into Trinity, Newhaven, Broughton, Canonmills, and New Town as well.

About Get Ryde
Get Ryde has grown its name across Edinburgh by getting the basics right on every airport run. In Leith, that means finding your close or stair door along the Walk without unnecessary back and forth on the phone. Every fare is agreed before you set off, cars are checked on a routine schedule, and each driver carries an active private hire licence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can drivers find flats tucked along Leith Walk or the closes nearby?
Yes, drivers working this area are used to the layout of stair doors and closes running off Leith Walk, so locating your building rarely takes long. It’s a route our team covers on a daily basis, so the local knowledge is already there.
What happens if my flight time changes while I'm still getting ready?
Nothing changes on your end. Once your flight is linked to the booking, we track it ourselves, and your pickup time adjusts automatically to match whatever update comes through from the airline.
Am I charged extra for bringing several bags?
No, luggage handling is already built into your fare no matter how many bags you’re travelling with. Drivers help load and unload as a standard part of the pickup, with nothing added on top.
How can I be confident my driver is properly checked?
Every driver completes a licensing process along with a background check before they’re allowed to accept bookings through Get Ryde. That step is required for everyone, so passengers can travel knowing it’s been done.
