In the summer of 2026, Glasgow will once again take centre stage as it welcomes the Commonwealth Games, bringing together thousands of athletes, officials, and spectators from across the globe.
With events spread across the city and surrounding areas, efficient, reliable, and safe transport will be a top priority for visitors. Whether you’re landing at Glasgow Airport, Edinburgh Airport, or travelling from another part of Scotland, Trident Taxis ensures you get to your destination comfortably and on time.
During major events like the Commonwealth Games, public transport networks can be crowded, unpredictable, and subject to delays—especially near major venues. Booking a private taxi or minibus transfer with Trident Taxis means you can:
Travel on your schedule – No waiting in queues or struggling with timetables.
Get direct door-to-door service – No carrying luggage through busy stations.
Enjoy guaranteed fixed prices – No Games-time surge fares.
Choose your ideal vehicle – From executive saloons to spacious 8-seater minibuses.
We have extensive experience handling event transport in Glasgow, including previous Commonwealth Games and major concerts.
Many visitors will arrive via Scotland’s main airports:
Glasgow Airport (GLA) – Just 15–30 minutes from the city centre and many Games venues.
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) – Around 1 hour from Glasgow, with direct motorway routes.
Prestwick Airport (PIK) – Ideal for budget airline travellers, approx. 45 minutes to Glasgow.
Our meet-and-greet service ensures your driver is ready at arrivals with a clear name board, assisting you with luggage and taking you straight to your hotel, accommodation, or venue.
The 2026 Games will take place across multiple world-class venues in Glasgow, and Trident Taxis covers them all:
Hampden Park – Athletics, ceremonies, and marquee events
Emirates Arena & Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome – Track cycling, badminton
Tollcross International Swimming Centre – Swimming
Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre – Lawn bowls competitions
Scotstoun Sports Campus – Table tennis, squash
Ibrox Stadium – Rugby Sevens
SECC & Hydro – Gymnastics, boxing, and other indoor events
We also handle hotel-to-hotel transfers and can arrange multi-stop journeys for spectators attending events at different venues on the same day.
For larger groups—such as sports teams, officials, media crews, or fan groups—our 8-seater minibuses are ideal. These vehicles can carry:
8 passengers
8 large suitcases
8 pieces of hand luggage
We can also arrange multiple vehicles for even bigger delegations.
