Free pick-up and drop-off services are available at Edinburgh Airport (at the long-stay car park) for stays of up to 30 minutes.

Those staying for more than this allotted time will have to pay a tariff (which increases the longer a driver remains there).

Stays of between 30 minutes and an hour will cost £8, while those staying between one and three hours can expect to be charged £18.

For quick and easy pick-ups and drop-offs, there is also a charged zone near the EDI control tower.

Stays of up to 10 minutes will cost motorists £5 with every minute after this costing £1.
