Do Glasgow Airport Taxis Accept Card? GLA Transfers is 100% Prepaid
Planning a trip through Glasgow Airport and wondering if you can pay by card for your taxi? At GLA Transfers, we take the guesswork out of the process. All of our airport taxi transfers are pre-paid at the time of booking — so you know your fare, your payment method, and your pickup time before you even leave home.
GLA Transfers: A Prepaid, Cash-Free Taxi Service

- You pay for your journey in full when you book, using a secure online system.
- No need for cash or card machines in the vehicle.
- Fixed fares — the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

This system provides peace of mind, especially for airport pickups where clarity, speed, and reliability are essential.

- Faster pickup — no fumbling for cash or worrying about payment terminals.
- Better for international travellers — no currency exchange issues.
- More reliable — your booking is confirmed once payment is received.
- Fully contactless — ideal for modern, hygienic travel.
