University of the Highlands and Islands travel
One university. Many journeys across Scotland.
UHI is different from a university with one main campus. Its teaching and research network reaches across the Highlands and Islands and into Perthshire and Moray.
Crystal Executive Cars provides a University of the Highlands and Islands airport transfer service for students, families, staff and visitors. Your journey can begin at Inverness, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heathrow, Gatwick or another agreed UK pickup point.

Inverness Airport private transfers
Inverness Airport is a practical arrival point for UHI Inverness. CEC can arrange a private pickup to the campus, student accommodation, a hotel or another confirmed Inverness address.
Airport collections can include meet and greet, help with luggage and flight monitoring. When a flight is delayed, we use the updated arrival information when managing the collection.
A larger vehicle can be requested when several passengers or large cases are travelling together.
Coming north from London is a different kind of booking
A London to Scotland chauffeur service can be useful when you want one private vehicle for a long road journey. It can also suit families, staff or visitors carrying more luggage than they want to move between trains or coaches.
A private chauffeur service from Heathrow can continue north in one vehicle to a confirmed UHI destination. London collections can also be arranged for travellers who want privacy, luggage space and a direct road journey.
For travellers looking for a luxury airport transfer from Heathrow to Scotland, the quotation is based on the confirmed destination, passenger count, luggage and any planned rest stops. Gatwick collections can also be arranged for travellers continuing to a UHI location.
Beyond Inverness, every UHI journey changes direction
Moray, Perth and the Highlands can each call for a different airport and road route. These examples show some of the journeys CEC can arrange.
An executive car service from Edinburgh Airport to UHI Moray can take you directly to the confirmed Elgin address.
Students · staff · visitors
A corporate chauffeur service from London to UHI Perth may suit business visitors, academics or families who want one private road journey.

Moving north with a term’s worth of luggage
Student travel is different when the bags contain clothes, bedding, study equipment and everything needed for a new term. For student relocation from London to Scotland, tell us what you are bringing before the vehicle is confirmed.
CEC can arrange a Mercedes V-Class with a driver from London when a larger vehicle suits the group and luggage. It can also work well for families travelling together to the Highlands.
Academic travel may cross more than one Scottish town
UHI’s network can make research visits and partner meetings more complex than a single-campus appointment. CEC can provide private executive transport for visiting professors, external examiners, speakers and other university guests.
For a private car itinerary covering several UHI academic partners, share the timetable in advance. A multi-day chauffeur booking can then follow the airport, hotel and meeting locations in the right order.
When a visit includes several UHI locations, sharing the full timetable helps us keep each collection and arrival in the right order.
Open days and graduations happen in different places
UHI graduation ceremonies take place at different venues across the network, including Inverness, Moray, Perth, Orkney and Shetland. Your invitation gives the venue for your own ceremony.
Open day
CEC can collect or drop off at the campus shown on the event booking, with the arrival time agreed in advance.
Graduation
A UHI graduation chauffeur service can collect graduates and families from an airport, hotel or home address.
Family visit
Private travel can include student accommodation, a hotel and another agreed stop in one booking.
Vehicle access and campus access are two parts of the same journey
For the car journey
Tell CEC about wheelchairs, walking aids or other mobility equipment. Give the size of the equipment and any help needed when getting into or out of the vehicle.
At the UHI destination
UHI advises students to discuss support and accessibility needs before starting. Support is organised through the relevant campus, so check the information for the location you will attend.
The journey home may begin far from the airport
A return booking can start from UHI Inverness, UHI Perth, UHI Moray, student accommodation, a hotel or another agreed address. Give us the flight, airport, passenger count and luggage.
CEC also provides long-distance chauffeur travel between Scotland and London, as well as journeys towards Heathrow, Gatwick, Edinburgh or Glasgow. The route is planned around the pickup point and flight time, with comfort stops where needed.
