Overview: car trip from Edinburgh to Glasgow
One great way to see Scotland's picturesque heart is by car from Edinburgh to Glasgow. About 46 miles (75 km) distance, this trip provides a mix of metropolitan settings and undulating countryside. From the magnificent Edinburgh Castle to the energetic Royal Mile, Edinburgh's historic appeal will wave you off as you depart. The A8 and M8 motorways drive you westward as you hit the road, providing smooth driving through the central belt and breathtaking views of the Scottish Lowlands.
Why choose a car trip? Mostly, it's about comfort and adaptability. With Daytrip, you can create your own schedule instead of relying on public transport. Ride in comfort as your professional driver takes the wheel and maybe even add some sightseeing stops to your transfer.
Stop at Rosslyn Chapel to admire the intricate carvings or veer to the outdoor art gallery Jupiter Artland? Using a private car transfer with Daytrip from Edinburgh to Glasgow lets you create your own journey rather than just go from point A to point B.
About Glasgow
Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, is situated on the banks of the River Clyde in west central Scotland. Glasgow combines a modern feel with a historical foundation. It is well-known for its cultural scene, strong industrial origins, and welcoming locals.
Glasgow’s History
Glasgow's past is one of transformation. It started out as a small rural community before growing significantly to become a significant industrial and commerce hub in the 18th and 19th centuries. The River Clyde was crucial to the city's growth as shipbuilding increased, and it became known as the "Second City of the Empire".
Founded in 1451, landmarks like the University of Glasgow mirror its intellectual and cultural legacy. Wander around the ancient core of the city and see masterpieces of architecture like the Glasgow Cathedral, a testament to its medieval origins. Every magnificent facade and cobblestone in the city clearly reflects its rich heritage.
Modern Glasgow
Glasgow today is a vibrant city full of innovation and artistic expression. Dotting the city, theaters, art galleries, and museums highlight its rich cultural environment. Glasgow School of Art, founded by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, is a hub of the creative spirit of the city.
Wander around the vibrant Merchant City or the hip West End, and you'll find quirky cafés, fashion-forward stores, and cultural sites, including the historic Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Glasgow's nightlife is a brilliant way to spend time when the sun sets. There is a broad mix of restaurants, bars, and traditional pubs. Glasgow is a vibrant city that will keep you on your toes from its industrial past to its present creative sensibility.
From Edinburgh to Glasgow: travel tips
The Edinburgh to Glasgow transfer is straightforward, but here are some travel tips to make it even more enjoyable and seamless:
Visit some attractions along the way
Maximize this short journey and include a few stops along the route. See the 12th-century Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, or for an amazing family experience, why not find out more about the 120 different species of animals kept at the Five Sisters Zoo?
Dress for the weather
Scotland's weather is famously fickle, so be prepared. Wearing several layers allows you to be comfortable in any weather. You definitely require a waterproof raincoat and some sturdy shoes. Even when those brisk summer winds blow in, a warm jumper could still be useful.
Take advantage of contactless payment
Many stores in both cities, as well as most public transit systems, welcome contactless payment. It's quick, handy, and helps you avoid worrying about lugging around lots of cash. However, for smaller stores or in case you run across any problems with card payments, it is advisable to keep a little cash on hand.
How to get from Edinburgh to Glasgow
Traveling from Edinburgh to Glasgow is straightforward and offers several convenient options. Here’s a breakdown of the best ways to make the journey:
Train from Edinburgh to Glasgow
One of the fastest and most pleasant means of getting between Edinburgh and Glasgow is catching a train. From Edinburgh Waverley or Haymarket terminals, direct trains travel often at different times to Glasgow Queen Street.
There are lots of departures throughout the day on the about 50-minute trip. It's a fantastic way to relax, switch off, and take in the picturesque Scottish countryside. Booking ahead will help you to find some excellent offers. You also escape the trouble of parking and traffic. The main hassle is getting to and from the station, especially if you're traveling as a group with large luggage.
- Price: starting from as low as $17 to $40 (£13 to £29)
- Duration: approximately 50 minutes
Bus from Edinburgh to Glasgow
Another rather cheap choice is bus travel. Regularly leaving Edinburgh Bus Station, buses arrive at Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station. Though it takes around an hour and a half, somewhat slower than the train, the trip is usually less expensive, with bus costs starting from $11 (£9).
- Price: fares from $11 to $27 (£9 to £21)
- Duration: the quickest direct buses take 1 hour and 15 minutes
Private car transfer from Edinburgh to Glasgow
A private car transfer with Daytrip allows you the most freedom. Edinburgh to Glasgow is immediately connected by the M8 highway, making it a simple and quick journey, that usually only takes an hour.
With Daytrip, you don't have to worry about sticking to regular public transport schedules or driving yourself. Instead, your private driver will meet you at your accommodation in Edinburgh and handle your luggage. Feel free to sit back and enjoy the views as your professional driver takes you door to door, hassle-free.
But where Daytrip stands out is that you can add some exciting stops to make this trip more memorable. Explore the village of New Lanark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or experience life as a king as you stroll around the stately Hopetoun House.
- Price: from $45 (£36) per seat
- Duration: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Taxi from Edinburgh to Glasgow
Taxis are a convenient but expensive way to get from Edinburgh to Glasgow. A door-to-door cab ride takes around an hour, depending on traffic. Black taxis and private cars operate 24/7. For group or heavy travel, this is ideal. Booking a cab in advance and confirming the pricing streamlines the process and secures cheaper fares.
Things to do when you get to Glasgow
Glasgow, Scotland's cultural powerhouse, offers a range of activities to fit every inclination. Whether you're interested in history, art, or a great night out, Glasgow provides something unique for you. These three must-do things will help you make the most out of your stay.
Explore Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Scotland's most famous attractions and an excellent site from which to begin your journey. The West End's remarkable red sandstone construction holds a variety of historical artifacts and artwork.
Its 22 exhibitions range from Salvador Dalís "Christ of St John of the Cross" to Egyptian treasures. Aviation buffs will be excited to see a Spitfire airplane hung from the ceiling. Even better, admission is free, providing a means of affordable appreciation for some cultural assets.
Stroll through Glasgow Green
In search of some green space? Head on over to Glasgow Green, the city's very first public park. Relax with a picnic or take a stroll in this expansive park that borders the River Clyde. While there, see the winter gardens and People's Palace. While the neighboring greenhouse features a rich collection of exotic plants, the museum chronicles Glasgow and its inhabitants.
The People's Palace and Winter Gardens are currently under renovation and will reopen in 2027 after renovations, so if visiting before then, bear this in mind. If you come in the summer, you may come across one of the numerous events and festivals taking place in the park, therefore making your trip even more special.
Experience Glasgow’s lively nightlife
After the sun sets, head out on the town for a real Glasgow experience and learn why this city ranks among the friendliest in the world. Starting the evening in Merchant City is fantastic as it boasts hip bars, restaurants, and pubs.
Visit BrewDog for a selection of local craft beers, or stop by one of the traditional pubs, such as The Horseshoe Bar, for a pint. For a night of live music, stop by King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, where artists like Oasis and Radiohead have played. No matter your preferred nightlife, this energetic metropolis has something for everyone.

“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

20 feb. 2025Great way to travel and see some sights on the way
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

10 feb. 2025Excellent service
“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
