Edinburgh and Glasgow are about 45 miles apart along the M8 — usually around an hour to an hour and a quarter by road, depending on traffic and where you are going in each city. For a group, a minibus or coach with a driver is often simpler than the train: you are collected from your door, luggage goes straight in the back, and you are dropped at the venue entrance.
Popular Edinburgh to Glasgow trips
- Glasgow Airport — for flights not available from Edinburgh. See our Glasgow, Prestwick and Aberdeen airport transfers.
- Concerts and events at the OVO Hydro, the SEC and other city venues, with a return pick-up after the show.
- Football and rugby — Hampden Park, Celtic Park, Ibrox and Scotstoun.
- Business meetings and conferences in Glasgow city centre.
- Shopping and nights out — Buchanan Street, the Merchant City and the West End.
One way, return or hire
For a concert or match, book a return transfer and choose the time you want collecting. If you will be in Glasgow for the day with several stops, hourly or daily hire keeps the driver with you. Allow extra time on event days, when roads around the big venues are busy.
Vehicle sizes
Choose from executive cars and MPVs, 8, 16 and 24-seat minibuses, and 33 to 72-seat coaches. Enter your group size and luggage when you book and we show the vehicles that fit, each with an itemised price.
