The group organiser’s briefing for Edinburgh Airport — meeting points, real costs, and the coach pick-up detail no one else writes down.
Edinburgh is Scotland's busiest airport and its single terminal keeps things refreshingly simple: one arrivals hall, one drop-off forecourt, one coach park — all beside the multi-storey car park directly outside the door. This is the group organiser's briefing: where an arriving party is met, what the drop-off really costs, and exactly how a coach is charged and called to the stand. Every figure below shows the date we last checked it against the official source.
Collecting a group by coach
Edinburgh keeps coaches simple — there is no permit to buy and nothing to pre-book. Coaches, and any minibus with eight seats or more, use the coach park to the south of the multi-storey and pay by how long they stay, from £9 for the first ten minutes up to £40 an hour. Because the tariff climbs by the ten-minute band, the trick is a prompt meet: your group leader checks in at the terminal via the crossing point at stand 10, and the coach comes forward to load.
| Terminal | Coach stand | Meet your group |
|---|---|---|
| MAIN | Coach park south of the multi-storey; check in at the terminal via the crossing point at stand 10 | Arrivals hall, ground floor of the terminal building |
“We meet Edinburgh groups in the arrivals hall and time our coach so it is on the stand as your party clears baggage reclaim — keeping the coach-park duration low, since Edinburgh charges the coach park by the ten-minute band rather than issuing a flat permit.”— Airport Coaches · first-person operational note
