What is a private chauffeur service in Bordeaux?

Our chauffeur service is a pre-booked alternative to taxis in Bordeaux, which operates on a fixed-price, advance-booking basis and is run by VTC Bordeaux SAS—whose president, Adrien Moreno (professional driver’s license #03322012101), personally organizes and drives the trips.

Unlike a metered taxi, each ride is charged at a fixed rate guaranteed in writing before departure, calculated based on distance and duration, with minimum fares from €30 for Eco to €80 for a Mercedes Van.

This private chauffeur in Bordeaux provides transfers from Mérignac Airport and Saint-Jean Train Station, long-distance trips to the Basque Country and Spain, the wine tours and hourly rental (starting at €55/hour).

How long is the waiting time at the airport?
After landing at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, a 40-minute wait is automatically provided, whether your flight is on time or delayed—it’s included in the flat rate, with no extra charge. We track your flight number in real time 24 hours a day: if the flight is delayed, your driver will automatically adjust the pickup time—you don’t have to do a thing. At Saint-Jean Station, a 15-minute waiting period is included after the train’s arrival, with the same real-time tracking. Beyond this free waiting period, the wait is billed at the hourly rate announced in advance and agreed upon before the ride. By comparison, a taxi charges for the wait by the meter starting from the very first minute. This waiting period more than covers the time needed to collect your luggage and go through security without stress.
Do you have English-speaking drivers?
Yes. Our drivers have a sufficient command of English to welcome, guide, and assist international clients—from the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Australia, and Canada—who frequently use our services for airport transfers and wine tours in the Médoc and Saint-Émilion regions. They’ll help you with your luggage, confirm your destination, and answer practical questions—such as travel time, points of interest, and payment methods. Reservations, quotes, and written confirmations are also available in English, which helps prevent any misunderstandings regarding the address or schedule. For a seminar, a corporate group, or international guests, please specify this when booking: we’ll prioritize assigning a driver who is fluent in English. This attention to detail is particularly appreciated by business travelers and tourists visiting the region for the first time.
How do I meet my driver at the airport or train station?
At Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, pick-up takes place at the express parking lot located directly across from the terminal, past the tram lines: from your flight lands, your driver will send you an exact GPS location via text message and WhatsApp, along with a description of the spot, so you can find it immediately without having to drive around in circles. At Saint-Jean train station, the meeting point is the Hall 3 parking lot on the Belcier side, with the same real-time location update. For international arrivals, a personalized sign with your name on it is available as an option (+15 €), which is convenient when you don't know the driver yet. You keep his direct number: if you're unsure about the meeting spot, just give him a call. This way, you avoid waiting around aimlessly and the parking fees you'd incur if you were using your own car.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation is free up to 12 hours before the scheduled departure time: you will receive a full refund, with no fees and no proof required. Between 12 hours and the departure time, a fee of 15% of the total amount applies to cover the reservation of the time slot and the driver’s time. After the driver has departed for the pickup location, a 50% fee applies; in the event of a no-show, the full fare is due. In cases of force majeure—such as a canceled flight or train service—you will receive a full refund upon presentation of proof: you will never be penalized for an unforeseen circumstance beyond your control. For any cancellation or change to the schedule, address, or number of passengers, please contact us by phone or WhatsApp: we will confirm the change in writing.

Yes. VTC Bordeaux SAS provides service to and from the entire Bordeaux Metropolitan Area and the Gironde department, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Which vehicle category should you choose?
Four vehicle classes cover all your needs. The Eco is the most economical: ideal for 1 to 3 passengers with light luggage, whether in the city or at the airport. The Sedan offers premium comfort for 1 to 3 passengers—a great choice for a business meeting or a long-distance trip. The Eco Van accommodates 4 to 7 passengers or bulky luggage, suitcases, equipment, or cases of wine: perfect for families and small groups. The Mercedes Van is our most upscale option, accommodating 4 to 7 passengers: a modern, spacious vehicle with high-quality finishes, particularly well-suited for weddings, corporate clients, and events. If you’re unsure, please specify the number of passengers and pieces of luggage when booking: we’ll recommend the most suitable vehicle category.
