Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, the second largest city in Scotland after Glasgow and the seventh-most populous in the United Kingdom.

Many people regularly use taxis on business trips, holidays or when out for an evening. In Edinburgh, taxis are highly regulated with both drivers and vehicles operating under stringent conditions.

Edinburgh has a modern taxi fleet second to none with many skilled drivers, all of whom have taken and passed a difficult test of their knowledge of Edinburgh's streets, housing areas, hotels and other places of interest, as well as the best routes to take to get you there quickly and as cheaply as possible.

Most taxi drivers drive traditional black cabs, they pick up passengers and drive them to their destination, charging a fare and taking payment. They work out the fastest and most efficient route, and drive to the destination. Drivers may help load and unload passengers luggage.

Edinburgh Hackney Carriage drivers may also be linked by radio to an operating centre. In addition, they are allowed to either wait at a taxi rank or drive around near railway stations, airports, shopping centres, hotels, pubs and clubs, or any areas where pedestrians may want to hire a taxi.
