Pickup tips for Rosyth
Using Rosyth railway station as your pickup
Type Rosyth railway station as the pickup address and choose the matching suggestion. National Rail lists the station on Queensferry Road, which helps you check you have picked the right one. The station is at the northern edge of the town, so if you are elsewhere in Rosyth, use your own street address, and add a note for your driver (up to 200 characters) saying where you will be standing.
Timing a booking around your train
Schedule a pickup for any day in the next 7 days, including today, in 30-minute slots from 07:00 to 22:30 (UK time). Slots begin at 07:00, so for an early train check that the first slot still leaves you enough time, and confirm the train time itself with ScotRail or National Rail. Booking ahead lets you sort out your pickup before you travel, instead of leaving it until you reach the station.
Booking Edinburgh Airport journeys
You arrange Edinburgh Airport journeys ahead of time in the app, as with any other booking. Going out, enter Edinburgh Airport as your destination. Coming back, set it as your pickup and your Rosyth address as the destination, then choose the date and time slot when you book.
Groups of 5 to 8
The standard car takes up to 4 passengers. For 5 to 8 passengers, get a WhatsApp quote for an 8-seater. Choose the 8 seater option in the app and WhatsApp opens with a quote request, ready for your Rosyth pickup, destination, passengers, luggage, time and notes.
