The price of an Aberdeen Airport taxi or minicab depends on several factors... the size of the car, the time of day and whether it's a luxury or standard cab. Typical options for Aberdeen Taxis include four or five-seater saloon cars, people carriers, minibuses, chauffeur-driven executive cars (typically Mercedes and Bentleys) and, for those really wishing to travel in style, limousines.
Bear in mind that if you want to travel in executive comfort it is usually cheaper to book in advance. You can hire the driver for a day (especially if making lots of stops), making it cheaper than making separate short journeys. Companies may offer various added extras available on request to improve comfort and style. Extras may include child seats, wheelchair access, refreshments, pillows, newspapers, blankets and even champagne!
Although "airport taxis" is a common phrase, the word "taxi" officially refers to cars that are licensed by the council. This essentially means they're able to be flagged down from a rank or other roadside parking spot. Minicabs, as an example, aren't "taxis" so they can't be legally be flagged down as and when you need one. Instead, you have to pre-book them through an authorised agent. Both taxis and minicab companies serve Aberdeen airport, although the journey will tend to be quicker, cheaper and easier if you can book a Minicab. If you've booked a meet and greet service, the driver will personally meet you at the terminal and park the car in the short stay car park. (The cost of parking is usually included in the overall charge). Otherwise, you can hail a cab from the Aberdeen Airport Taxi rank or meeting them at a pre-arranged point such as a neighbouring car park or terminal exit.
The price of a taxi or mini-cab ride reflects the comfort, facility and size of the car provided. A taxi ride to the city’s train station, situated within Aberdeen city centre, takes approximately twenty-five minutes.

With a good academic reputation, a thriving city centre and access to the Cairngorms National Park, Aberdeen University attracts thousands of students each year. With many students coming from England and southern Scotland, plane is by far the easiest mode of travel to the university and the airport has a significant amount of student traffic passing through.
The Cairngorms National Park itself is an ideal day out for long walks or hikes. Long hikes and pub lunches, a little outside your comfort zone? Why not pay a visit to the incredible Balmoral Castle, owned by the Royal family since 1852. You can book a tour in advance or visit on the day and with a full exhibition and special events, there's something for everyone.
Famous for its beautiful curve of golden sands, this is the perfect location to go with either by yourself or with family! The Beach Esplanade has an amusement area with restaurants, a cinema and the Codonas amusement park.
Hazlehead Park and Zoo is a popular day out for families, walkers and picnickers. It also has a petting zoo, a maze, an ice cream parlour and a memorial garden. Whether it's your ideal day trip or a great way of breaking up the journey with the kids, it's worth a visit.
One must-see local attraction is Glamis Castle, one of the many castles on the outskirts of Dundee. The site dates back to 1372 and some of the current structure dates back as far as the 15th Century. Having been restored in the late 17th-18th Century, today it appears more like a French Chateau than Medieval Fort - a must-see on the tourist trail around Dundee.
