Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Moving Groups Around the City

Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Moving Groups Around the City

During the Fringe, Edinburgh's population roughly doubles. Coaches and minibuses are by far the sanest way to move a group through it.

Stay outside the centre and shuttle in. Hotels in the Old Town sell out and cost a premium. Base your group in surrounding areas and let us run timed shuttles to the Royal Mile and venue clusters.

Book venue drop-offs with timing in mind. The High Street closes to traffic during peak Fringe hours. We'll plan drop-off points a short walk from your venue and pick a window that avoids the worst congestion.

Keep one vehicle on call. A dedicated minibus for the day means your group can come and go between shows, grab dinner, and head back to the hotel without rebooking each time.

Plan the late-night return. Fringe nights run late. We'll hold a driver for the last run back so no one's stranded after the final show.
