Airport pick-up service

We offer a free Airport Taxi Service for international students arriving at Glasgow International Airport

This service is only available to new international students studying on full-time programmes at GCU.

Sign up via eventbrite, choose the event for the date you arrive and provide details of your arrival time, flight number, programme of study, as well as select a drop-off point in Glasgow City Centre.

When you arrive at Glasgow Airport, you will need to report to the Taxi Information Desk (located next to Domestic Arrivals and adjacent WHSmith and Visit Scotland's Information Desk), sign in with an advisor at the desk and you will then be directed to a taxi. If you arrive later than 11 pm there will be a sign directing you to the taxi rank, tell the Marshall that you're from Glasgow Caledonian University and they will give you a slip to give to the driver.

Please Note you are able to book 1 taxi only, for you and your luggage. If you need an additional taxi for family or extra luggage you will need to arrange this separately and pay for this.

You can register on our Eventbrite.

For more information on the service, please email Student Events.

If your flight time or circumstances change, please email Glasgow Airport Taxis

Public Transport

For students not eligible to use our taxi service, there is a shuttle bus that runs from the airport to the bus station in the city - please make sure you have money to cover the fare (approx £13). You may need to provide proof of student status (offer letter) in order to obtain a student rate. The bus station in the city centre is directly across the road from The University.
