Why advertise in Edinburgh
Edinburgh packs an unusual amount into a small space: Scotland's parliament and government, one of the UK's largest financial services centres outside London, four universities and a visitor economy that peaks each August when the festivals fill every venue. Its historic core limits space for large roadside hoardings, which makes moving formats such as taxis especially useful.
A taxi campaign can pass through heritage streets, business districts and residential neighbourhoods in the same shift, meeting audiences who would never walk past the same fixed advert. For brands targeting affluent professionals, international visitors or a large student population, Edinburgh offers a concentrated and valuable audience in a city that is easy to cover.

Taxi advertising formats available in Edinburgh
Don’t just take our word
Full cab livery
A full livery transforms the whole cab into a branded vehicle. Against the stone streets of the city centre, a bright, fully wrapped taxi stands out strongly in photos, queues and traffic.
Supersides
Supersides place a large advert along each side of the cab. They are well suited to Princes Street and the Royal Mile area, where pedestrians see passing vehicles at close range.
Interior panels
Interior panels hold passengers' attention during the ride. They are useful for visitor offers, booking links and QR codes, particularly on airport and hotel journeys.
Our taxi fleet across Edinburgh
Edinburgh's taxis move constantly between the city's distinct quarters. In the centre, journeys cover Princes Street, George Street, the St James Quarter and the Old Town streets around the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket. To the west sit the Exchange District near Lothian Road and Haymarket, home to many financial and professional firms, and further out the Edinburgh Park and South Gyle business areas. To the north, cabs reach Leith, the Shore, Ocean Terminal and the new homes along the waterfront, while the south side takes in the university area around George Square, Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Morningside.
The city bypass links outlying shopping destinations such as Fort Kinnaird and the Gyle Centre. Because the festivals dramatically change traffic and footfall in summer, timing matters here, and our Full Campaign Planning service can help you decide when and where your campaign should run.
