About Taxis in Inverness 🚕

You can get taxis in Inverness by booking by phone, online, or at taxi ranks near busy places like the railway station and airport. The airport also has a dedicated taxi zone just outside the terminal.

Inverness taxis are usually black cabs or private hire vehicles, and many local firms also run minibuses. Private hire cars should be pre-booked, while hackney-style taxis may be picked up at ranks or arranged by phone.

For travel to places like Drumnadrochit or Loch Ness, local private hire firms are commonly used. One route from Inverness to Drumnadrochit takes about 25 to 30 minutes by taxi, and booking ahead is wise in busy periods.

Safety is generally good when you use licensed local firms and confirm the fare before starting. It is also sensible to carry cash, because some drivers may not accept cards, and to check the vehicle and company name before getting in.

If you arrive late or with a lot of luggage, a taxi can be easier than the bus or train. Taxis are also useful if your accommodation is far from the city centre or across the river.
