New Year’s Eve in Scotland, or Hogmanay, is an experience like no other. Whether you’re heading to Edinburgh’s legendary street party and fireworks or celebrating in Glasgow’s vibrant pubs and venues, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable night.

However, the one thing that can put a damper on the festivities is the chaos of getting around. Public transport schedules are heavily restricted, taxis are nearly impossible to find, and surge pricing can be astronomical. This is where Raz Private Hire & Airport Transfers steps in, transforming your Hogmanay travel in Glasgow and Edinburgh from complicated to completely simple.


The Hogmanay Travel Challenge

New Year’s Eve presents unique logistical challenges in both Glasgow and Edinburgh:

  • Limited Public Transport: Trains often stop running early on New Year’s Eve, and there are often no services at all on New Year’s Day. Key bus and tram routes are also severely limited, especially late at night.
  • Road Closures & Crowds: City centre celebrations, particularly in Edinburgh for Hogmanay, mean extensive road closures, making driving your own car a nightmare.
  • The Midnight Rush: Trying to find a ride immediately after the bells ring at midnight is a massive headache, with enormous queues for limited taxis.
