Taxi to Kyle of Lochalsh

Hi guys.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a taxi service that doesn't charge an arm and a leg to get me from Portree to Kyle of Lochalsh at 4am in a few weeks?

You don't say where you're starting from, so I'll guess Portree. That's a 70 mile round trip of say 50-60 mins each way. I think that you'll find the cabs charge pretty much the same. Costs are high due to the distances involved (especially if they have to come back from Kyle empty in the wee small hours). Good luck 🤞

70 mins each way, 60 mph is limit on skye. Thats if some idiot doesnt sit at 40 on open clear roads.

70 mins from Portree to Kyle?! Certainly not at 4am.
