Travel

You can claim travel costs for your final journey to Cardiff for yourself and your immediate family.

This should usually be by the cheapest reasonable means possible. Should you wish to travel by a more expensive means, your relocation allowance will not be increased to accommodate the higher costs.

The University will also pay for:

  • excess luggage costs
  • the cost of transportation of pets from overseas and quarantine expenses.

If you and your partner need to visit Cardiff to look for a house/visit schools, you can claim for one return journey for yourself and immediate family, if appropriate, as long as the trip is related to your move to Cardiff.

Should you be travelling a significant distance, which necessitates an overnight stay, the University will cover the cost of moderately-priced hotel accommodation.
