Scotland’s capital city is home to the world’s biggest arts festival, the inspiration for Sunshine on Leith, and the most loyal canine companion there ever was. As of today, we’re very proud to be the latest bairns on the block to be calling Edinburgh home. From 4pm today, Edinburghers will be able to request a car at the touch of a button.

So whether you’re planning a night out on George Street, catching a one man show at The Stand, or hitting The Shore you’ll never be more than a tap away from a reliable ride!
