Free pick-up and drop-off services are available at Edinburgh Airport (at the long-stay car park) for stays of up to 30 minutes.
Those staying for more than this allotted time will have to pay a tariff (which increases the longer a driver remains there).
Stays of between 30 minutes and an hour will cost £8, while those staying between one and three hours can expect to be charged £18.
For quick and easy pick-ups and drop-offs, there is also a charged zone near the EDI control tower.
Stays of up to 10 minutes will cost motorists £5 with every minute after this costing £1.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
