The GLA Transfers app

Book a fixed price Glasgow airport transfer in under a minute, track your driver on the day, and manage every journey from your phone. Free on iPhone and Android.

Track your driver in real time

Why not just use a ride hailing app?

Because an app that finds you a driver now is solving a different problem from one that guarantees a driver at 4am on Tuesday.

Ours is built around pre-booked journeys. Your price is fixed when you book rather than estimated. Your driver is assigned in advance, usually the day before, rather than found on the night. Your flight is tracked with live data from FlightRadar24, sitting inside the driver’s own app. And when something goes wrong there is a phone number with a person on the end of it.

Same convenience, without the part where the price moves or nobody accepts the job.

Prefer not to download anything?

You do not have to. Everything above works when you book on the website too, including live tracking and the safe contact feature. Or call 0141 473 4300 any hour of the day and we will do it for you. The app is the quickest route, not the only one.

Common questions

Is the app free?

Yes, on both iPhone and Android. There is no booking fee and no card surcharge on fares booked through it.

Can I book the 16 seater minibus in the app?

Yes. Every vehicle we run is bookable in the app with an instant fixed price and immediate confirmation, from a saloon through to the 16 seater carrying 16 passengers with 16 large suitcases. No enquiry form and no waiting for a quote.

Do I need the app to track my driver?

No. Tracking and the safe contact feature work on web bookings too. The app makes it quicker, but nothing is exclusive to it.

Can I see my driver’s photo and vehicle before they arrive?

Yes. In the GLA Transfers app you see your driver’s photo and a photograph of the actual vehicle with its licence plate visible, so you can match the car in front of you against the car on your screen before you get in. That is a step beyond being told a make, model and registration, because you are comparing a picture to what you can see. On bookings made on the website or by phone, your driver’s name, mobile number and vehicle details are sent to you by text and email ahead of the pickup.

Can I change a booking in the app?

Yes, free of charge and as many times as you need, provided you have more than two hours before your pick-up time. Inside two hours, call us on 0141 473 4300 and we will do what we can.
