Oxford Royale

Transfer Service

Details of Our Transfer Service

Our transfer service gives parents and students peace of mind when they arrive in the UK or USA for their course, including being met by a friendly Oxford Royale (R) Staff Member at the Airport, provided the flight lands within a certain window of time (see further details below).

We are pleased to be able to offer an airport transfer service to the majority of our 2023 students, covering particular airports and campuses. Please see below for information and prices.

Modes of Transport

Journeys made as part of the Oxford Royale Transfer Service in 2023 will be delivered using a variety of modes of transport. The mode of transport could be one of:

a. Private (individual) taxi journey
b. Shared taxi journey
c. Minibus
d. Coach

The mode of transport utilised for each student’s transfer will be determined closer to the summer school, and will be based on factors including the number of Oxford Royale students who have booked transfers who are arriving on the same flight, or arriving at the same airport/terminal at the same time, and studying in the same location. It is not possible to request a specific mode of transport.

  • Monday 3rd July, 0700-1500 BST

Note that, due to the anticipated small number of students making use of this transfer, our staff are likely to be moving between the operational terminals of London Heathrow, so there may be a short wait until you are met by an Oxford Royale staff member. We will send instructions regarding where to wait in each terminal should that be required.

The mode of transport is flexible, although given the anticipated small number of students taking advantage of the Oxford Royale transfer, we anticipate private or shared taxis to be the most common mode of transport for students travelling to Imperial College London.

UC Berkeley

Kindly note that there is no Oxford Royale arrival or departure transfer service for our courses at UC Berkeley.

Arrivals and Departures outside supervised hours

If students require assistance from our supervisory team – either for arrival or departure – they must book flights that land or take off in the time windows given above. For this reason, our system will only allow transfer bookings in line with these windows.

If the student and, where relevant, the parent or guardian of the student, is happy that they will be able to arrive and depart without customs/immigration or check in assistance, and are content that they will be unsupervised at the airport, we will be able to book them a transfer outside of our hours of supervision. Please contact our team if you wish to book a transfer outside of supervision hours, via our Contact Us webpage.
