Heading from Glasgow to St Andrews for golf, graduation or a weekend away? Here is every realistic way to make the journey, with honest times and trade-offs. Written by Constantine Chauffeurs, a Glasgow chauffeur service. Golfers can book a private golf transfer from Glasgow to St Andrews, door to door with clubs in the boot. Planning a Scotland golf tour? We provide golf transport with your own private driver and car service, course to course.
St Andrews is about 80 miles from Glasgow, around 1 hour 45 minutes by road, and the car takes you all the way to the door. There is no direct train to St Andrews — the nearest station is Leuchars, six miles away. A private chauffeur is from £320 in a Mercedes C-Class, at a fixed price.
St Andrews sits on the Fife coast, around 80 miles north-east of Glasgow. Public transport works, but every option involves at least one change: a train to Leuchars followed by a local bus or taxi, or a coach with a longer journey time. With golf clubs, luggage or a group, that change is where the trip gets harder.
Here are the four ways to travel, at a glance — then in detail.
| Option | Journey time | Changes | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train + bus from Leuchars | about 2h15–2h45 | 1–2 | Light travellers on a budget |
| Coach | about 2h30 | Depends on route | The lowest fare, with time to spare |
| Driving yourself | about 1h45 | None | Those who want a car in Fife — if parking is sorted |
| Private chauffeur | about 1h45 door to door | None | Golfers, groups, luggage and special occasions |
Times are typical and vary with traffic, connections and time of day. Check ScotRail and Stagecoach for current timetables and fares before you travel.
Trains from Glasgow reach Leuchars, the station for St Andrews, usually with a change at Edinburgh or Dundee. From Leuchars a frequent local bus runs into St Andrews in around 15 minutes, and there is a taxi rank at the station. Allow two and a quarter to two and three quarter hours in total. It works well for light travellers; with golf bags it means lifting them on and off two or three times.
Stagecoach runs express coaches from Glasgow towards Fife, with journeys to St Andrews taking around two and a half hours. It is usually the cheapest option, but the slowest, and luggage space is limited.
The drive takes around an hour and three quarters via the M80 and M90. The challenge is at the other end: St Andrews is a small town, parking is limited and much of the town-centre parking is metered, and it can be hard to find a space during tournaments, graduation and summer weekends.
A pre-booked chauffeur collects you from your door in Glasgow and drives you straight to your hotel, the course or your address in St Andrews — no changes, no parking and space for clubs and luggage. A Mercedes C-Class from Glasgow to St Andrews starts from £320 with Constantine, with your price confirmed when you book. For a group, the Mercedes V-Class takes up to six passengers — tell us how many golf bags you have and we will recommend the right car.
Travelling alone with a small bag? The train and bus via Leuchars is the budget choice. Want your own car in Fife and happy to hunt for parking? Drive. Travelling with golf clubs, as a group, for a graduation or on a tight tee time? A private chauffeur takes you door to door in one step. Flying in?

Good service and good price. Needed a car quick from Trump Turnberry to Glasgow Airport and these guys came thru for me. Great V-Class. Will use again if I’m in the area.Read on Tripadvisor →
Pickup was easy. They sent a tracking link to my phone, which took the guesswork out of it. I didn’t need to phone anyone or stand outside waiting. The car was clean and the driver was pleasant and friendly throughout the journey.
The car is amazing and the whole experience was amazing. I didn’t catch the driver’s name but he was brilliant. Thank you very much.Read on Tripadvisor →
Within 90 minutes they had organized an entire itinerary, arranged a luxurious vehicle and an excellent driver, John. That level of responsiveness and service was impressive.
A luxurious service from start to finish. An assortment of entertainment & refreshments giving that extra touch.
Very grateful — an excellent service, I recommend it. Reliable, punctual, friendly, great service. (Translated from Spanish)
John thoughtfully stopped at scenic locations so we could photograph the Highlands’ extraordinary beauty rather than simply admire it through the windows.
Came across this company by chance. Booked them for a return journey to Murrayfield Stadium for a concert.
Booked my airport pickup over WhatsApp while I was still out in Thailand, which made the whole thing dead easy.
My friends were having a small wedding in the city centre — I wanted to buy the transport as a gift.
It felt like a genuinely personalized Highland adventure rather than a conventional sightseeing tour. An absolutely memorable day and five stars without hesitation!
A fantastic transfer experience. Our flight arrived later than scheduled but our driver kept everything organised.
After a long flight it was such a relief to have these guys pick me up to save the hassle. Can't recommend them enough.
Constantine Chauffeurs picked me up after a long flight and honestly couldn't have asked for better.
