Taxi from Glencoe visitor center to Oban

Posted by jules m (Twin Cities of MN) on 05/11/26 07:22 PM

I have sent quite a few emails to TIs and Taxi companies and haven't had a response. The issue is likely that it was a weekend and/or people just haven't gotten around to responding. Or I guess that no one is interested.

I really would like to book my airline tickets. I would really like to be able to explore Glencoe visitor center and see the valley with mom. I know I can take a bus to Glencoe from Fort William. Just need the transportation piece from the Visitor center thru the Valley and on to Oban. Would anyone like to guess on the likelihood that I'll be able to find/book a taxi/driver, if I go ahead and book my air?

My guess is that this is putting the cart before the horse, in trying to make a taxi booking 5 months ahead of time.
I can't imagine anyone does that.
The rate of £80 from Kinlochleven to Oban will be based on going down the coast via Ballachulish.

You would need to specify that you are going up the valley, that is via Bridge of Orchy and Tyndrum.

Once you are in the country then you can telephone them.

Ultimately, if worst comes to worst there is the bus, changing at Tyndrum.

I would book air fare and hotels trusting that this will resolve itself a lot closer to the time.

The risk I see is prejudicing a far bigger plan for a fairly small detail.

@Mardee, have an email in to them
@Stuart, I agree it may be too early. I was hoping to get an idea if someone would do it. If not, I might consider adding a day to the trip and rent the car for an additional day out of Oban to go to Glencoe, but I’d really prefer to not be gone from home another day
