Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a private car service cost in Bordeaux? Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a private car service cost in Bordeaux?
Starting at 30 for Economy, 50 for a Sedan, 70 for an Economy Van, and 80 for a Mercedes Van (minimum fare guaranteed). An airport-to-city center transfer costs 45 € in Economy; to Saint-Émilion starting at 94 €. The price is fixed and confirmed in writing before departure. Options: name sign +15 €, baby seat +15 €, pet +15 €.
Private Car Service or Taxi in Bordeaux: What’s the Real Difference?
A taxi in Bordeaux charges by the meter: €2/km + €15 during the day, €3/km + €15 at night, on weekends, and on holidays (2024 prefectural rates). A private hire service like VTC Bordeaux offers a fixed price guaranteed in writing before departure, with no meter. For a transfer from Bordeaux to Saint-Émilion, the private hire service costs a fixed €94 in the Eco category, guaranteed in writing before departure. The price difference compared to a taxi widens especially at night, on weekends, and on holidays (€3/km + €15 versus €2/km during the day), when a private hire car can be up to 40% cheaper. Additional benefits of private car services: 24/7 flight tracking, 40 minutes of free waiting time at the airport, English-speaking drivers, and a reservation confirmed in writing. Taxis remain a good option for impromptu short-distance trips within the city. For transfers booked in advance, private car services are more economical and offer greater transparency.
How long is the waiting time at the airport?
A 40-minute wait is automatically provided after landing, whether the flight is on time or delayed—included in the flat rate. At Saint-Jean Station, a 15-minute wait is provided.
Do you have English-speaking drivers?

At Mérignac Airport: express parking lot directly across the street (past the tram tracks), with exact GPS coordinates sent via text message or WhatsApp upon landing. At Saint-Jean Station: pickup at the Hall 3 Belcier parking lot. Optional name sign (+€15).
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 12:00 PM before departure. Between 12:00 PM and departure: 15% of the total. After the driver has departed or in case of a no-show: 50%. Canceled flight or train (force majeure): full refund.
