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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price per person?

No. You pay once for the whole vehicle, whether one person travels or the car is full.
