What is included

The journey

The centre runs along the Garonne quays, from the Place de la Bourse and its Miroir d'eau to the Chartrons. The Rue Sainte-Catherine and much of the old town are pedestrian, and trams run on several streets, so the driver stops at the nearest point.

Arriving at Bordeaux Airport

Bordeaux-Mérignac is west of the city, just outside the Rocade ring road. It has the main terminal halls and a separate low-cost terminal called Billi. The driver waits in the arrivals area of your terminal after baggage reclaim, with your name on a sign.

How long it really takes

Maps says 29 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.

Realistically, 59 to 104 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.

When to book

Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.

A week aheadJuly, August, Fridays and Saturdays. The busiest arrivals of the year.
As soon as you have the flightGroups of five or more. Vans and minibuses go first, always.
Two or three daysLanding between 23:00 and 06:00. Fewer drivers are working.
The day before is fineEverything else. The same morning usually works too.

Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.

Before you land

Main terminal or BilliMérignac has its main halls and a separate terminal, Billi, used by low-cost flights. Check which one your flight uses; the driver meets you there.
Meeting point after customsYour driver waits in the arrivals hall after baggage reclaim and customs, with your name on a sign. The flight is tracked, so if it lands late the pick-up moves with it.
Motorway tolls are includedMost French autoroutes are toll roads. Any toll on your route is inside the fixed price, so there is nothing to pay on the day.
VTC or taxi licenceEvery driver holds a French VTC professional card or a taxi licence, both issued by the prefecture. We check the licence and the insurance before a company takes its first ride.

FAQ

How long does it take to get from Bordeaux Airport to Bordeaux city centre?

About 29 minutes for the 19 km, outside peak traffic. Your driver knows the route and follows the flight, so a delayed landing moves the pick-up rather than costing you the transfer.

How much is a transfer from Bordeaux Airport to Bordeaux city centre?

From €85 for up to four passengers, and €102 for a group of five or six in a van. The price is fixed when you book — tolls and taxes included, nothing added at the end.

What happens if my flight is late?

We track the flight number you give us. The driver waits and adjusts to the actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting after the plane touches down.

Where do I meet the driver at Bordeaux Airport?

In the arrivals hall after you clear customs. The day before your trip we send you the driver's name, phone number and vehicle, and they contact you with the exact spot.

Can I cancel?

Free up to 24 hours before pick-up, refunded in full and automatically. On many routes you can also book without paying and we only charge the card 48 hours before you travel.
