Eyemouth & the Berwickshire coast

Long journeys,
done properly — not the run to the shop.

Premier Private Hire covers airport transfers, ferry port runs and luggage-heavy journeys across Coldingham, Reston, St Abbs and the wider Berwickshire coast. We don't take local jobs within town — every booking is a proper trip.

A text or WhatsApp gets the fastest reply — calls aren't always possible to pick up on the road
Phones on 8:30am–7pm, every day — booking ahead is strongly advised

Dashed — airport & ferry runs. Solid — the short Berwick hop.

Built for the long way round.

If it involves a flight, a sailing or a full boot of luggage, that's exactly the kind of job we want. Here's what Premier Private Hire is set up for:

Airport transfers

Edinburgh, Newcastle and Glasgow airports, booked around your flight time with tracking for delays. Early starts and late landings are the norm, not the exception.

Ferry port runs

Drop-off and collection at Newcastle's ferry terminal and other Scottish ports, timed to sailings rather than a rough estimate.

Luggage & group transfers

Cases, golf bags, bikes, the lot. Let us know what's coming with you when you book and we'll make sure there's room for it.

Cross-Borders & cross-border

Berwick-upon-Tweed, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow and everywhere between — station-to-station or door-to-door.

Not for local runs. To keep the fleet available for longer bookings, Premier Private Hire doesn't cover trips within a single town (Eyemouth High Street to the harbour, for example). If your journey is between towns, to an airport, a port, or further afield — that's us.

Covering Eyemouth and the Berwickshire coast

Based in Eyemouth and working across the surrounding villages and market towns. If you're not sure whether your journey's in range, ask — most of the Borders and near side of Northumberland is fair game for a long-distance booking.

How do I get from Berwick to Eyemouth?

It's a straightforward 15–20 minute run up the coast. We cover this as part of a longer journey (station transfer, airport connection, onward travel) — message us your times and we'll quote it.

Is there a taxi from Reston to Edinburgh Airport?

Yes — Reston to Edinburgh Airport is one of our regular long-distance bookings, usually around an hour depending on traffic. Book ahead for early flights.

Do you cover Coldingham and St Abbs for airport transfers?

Both are well within range for Edinburgh, Newcastle or Glasgow airport runs, ferry connections, or a transfer onward to Berwick-upon-Tweed station.

Can you take a group with a lot of luggage?

Tell us what's travelling — cases, golf clubs, bikes — when you book, and we'll make sure the car fits it. See the fleet for current capacity.

What about a local run within Eyemouth?

That's the one thing we don't do — Premier Private Hire is set up specifically for longer, booked-ahead journeys rather than short local trips.

Working with businesses

Alongside individual bookings, Premier Private Hire is actively looking to build ongoing relationships with local businesses — a steady, dependable transfer option rather than a one-off booking.

  • Hotels, B&Bs & guest houses Airport and station pick-ups for guests, arranged directly with your front desk.

  • Event & wedding venues Coordinated transfers for guests arriving from further afield, with luggage worked into the plan.

  • Tour operators & golf groups Regular airport-to-Borders transfers for visiting parties, with room for clubs and cases.

  • Local firms & contractors A standing arrangement for staff or client transfers to airports, ports or stations.
