Minibus hire for Mid Calder, East Calder and Kirknewton
Mid Calder is a proper old village, with its 16th-century Kirk of Calder and a main street that was never built for coaches. We cover it alongside East Calder and Kirknewton, since groups often have people in all three.
What people book us for
Edinburgh Airport is about twenty minutes away, so airport runs are the biggest share. Close behind are nights out in Edinburgh, where it's a 25 to 35 minute drive depending on traffic on the A71, and family events like weddings, christenings and big birthdays.
A fair number of walking groups use us too. Almondell and Calderwood Country Park sits between Mid and East Calder, with paths along the River Almond and an old aqueduct that feeds the Union Canal. It's an easy place to drop a group at one end and collect them at the other.
Getting the pick-up right
- Some of the streets in the old part of Mid Calder are tight. If you're booking a 24-seater or a coach, a pick-up on the main road may be easier, and the driver will call ahead if they need to.
- Kirknewton station is the closest train link. If some of your group are coming in by rail, we can collect from there.
- For a return trip, set your return time when you book. If the night runs late, call the number on your confirmation and we'll do our best to move it.
