Royal Ascot Transfers
Royal Ascot is five days of racing at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire each June, with a strict dress code in the Royal Enclosure. Arriving in morning dress or a long dress and hat is easier from a private car than from the train, and Heathrow is close to the course.

Race-day logistics
The racecourse sets the drop-off and pickup areas for cars each year; the driver uses the official arrangements. Book your return pickup for after the last race, add a phone number, and allow for slow traffic leaving the course.
Dates
Royal Ascot is held every year in June. Check the official dates for your year before booking.
Vehicles
A sedan takes four passengers and three large suitcases, a First Class Sedan the same in a quieter car, a van six passengers and four large suitcases, a First Class Van six and five, and a minibus up to 16 passengers and 10 large suitcases.
For a group going together, one van or minibus usually costs less than several taxis and keeps the group together.
