St Andrews is one of our busiest routes. Golf groups head for the Old Course and the other links, families travel up for university graduations, and visitors go for the beaches, the cathedral ruins and the town itself. The trip from Edinburgh crosses the Queensferry Crossing and is about 40 miles, taking about 1 hour 5 minutes in normal traffic.

These are "from" prices for Edinburgh to St Andrews with a weekday daytime pick-up, worked out from our current rates and updated automatically when they change. The exact price depends on your date, time, group size and exact addresses, and the booking form shows it before you pay. Same-day return prices allow for the driver waiting about 5 hours at St Andrews.
Pick-up tips
For golf, tell us your tee time and we will suggest a pick-up time that leaves room for traffic on the bridge. Clubs and trolleys can be dropped right at the clubhouse. On graduation days the town centre is very busy, so it helps to agree a drop-off point near the university buildings beforehand.
Luggage and vehicle sizes
Golf bags take up far more room than suitcases. As a guide, count each set of clubs as a large case. A group of eight golfers with clubs usually needs a 16-seat minibus rather than an 8-seater.

Questions about this trip
Can the driver wait while we play a round?
Yes. Book a same-day return and set the return time for when you expect to finish. The prices on this page allow for a wait of about five hours.
Will our golf clubs fit?
Add each set of clubs as a large case in the booking form. It then only shows vehicles with enough room for your group and the clubs.
Can you pick up from Edinburgh Airport instead?
Yes. Change the pick-up to Edinburgh Airport in the booking form and the price updates for that journey.
Can we play other courses nearby?
Yes. Kingsbarns, Crail and Carnoustie can be added as extra stops or booked as separate journeys.
