These are "from" prices for Edinburgh to Dundee with a weekday daytime pick-up, worked out from our current rates and updated automatically when they change.

Pick-up tips
The waterfront is the easiest drop-off for the V&A and Discovery. On match days, roads near both grounds are busy, as the two stadiums sit on the same street, so agree a collection point a short walk away.
Luggage and vehicle sizes
A 16-seat minibus suits most clubs and friendship groups. For a school visit to the V&A or the Discovery, a 33 or 53-seat coach is usually the better choice.
