Q
Which area is Glasgow International Airport located ?
A
Glasgow International airport is 4
miles west from Glasgow and 9 miles from
the City Centre. It falls under the control of Renfrewshire Council.
Q
I was told that only certain taxis can pick up at the Airport. Is this true ?
A
Yes and No ! With the exception
of pre-booked hires, only official Airport Taxis
are allowed to pick up at Glasgow Airport. Once any Taxi, licensed from outside
the jurisdiction of Renfrewshire Council, drops off a passenger at Glasgow Airport.
He must head back to his own designated area straight away, without putting his
'for hire' light on.
Q
What happens if I have a taxi firm booked to pick me up at Glasgow Airport and
I find that the taxi is not there ?
A
You can either sit
and wait, or phone the company again hoping that the taxi will
turn up. If you do not want to do that, you can look to use one of the Buses at the
terminal or take a Airport Taxi from the public rank.
Q
Sometimes when I come out to the front
terminal, I can see Taxis with their 'For Hire' light
on. They don't look like the Official white Airport Taxis, can I just hire
one of these Taxis ?
A
No !. These Taxis with their
'For Hire' light on in the Airport Grounds are illegally plying
for hire. It is basically up to the Police to enforce this law and if the Taxi driver doesn't
comply, they will have the Badge suspended. If any Airport Taxi driver spots this he will
take the offending Taxi's details and report them to the Police, Airport Staff and Local
licensing authority.

Please note that illegal Taxi touts may seek to offer their
services. This is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE, and for your own protection, Passengers
are strongly advised not to accept their services and to alert Police or Airport
staff.
