What is the private transfer from Bordeaux to Beynac?
The private transfer from Bordeaux to Beynac is a door-to-door service with a driver, from downtown Bordeaux—or Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport—to Beynac, a village with a hilltop castle in the Périgord Noir region of the Dordogne, on the right bank of the Dordogne River across from Castelnaud and 18 minutes from Sarlat: 229 km, 2 hours 58 minutes via the A89 and then the roads through the Dordogne Valley.
Fixed rate guaranteed in writing starting at 332 € in Economy class, with a private driver who drops you off at the foot of the castle and remains at your disposal for the day.
A TER train connects Bordeaux to Sarlat, but Beynac doesn’t have a train station, and there’s a 14-km stretch without reliable bus service: the door-to-door private chauffeur service eliminates this final leg and lets you explore the Valley of the Castles — La Roque-Gageac, Castelnaud, Les Milandes, Sarlat — without having to drive yourself or look for parking.
24/7 service with four vehicle categories (Eco, Sedan, Eco Van, Mercedes Van), available as one-way transfers or customizable day-long packages, with no platform commission.

Bordeaux → Beynac: Private chauffeur service, train, car, or tour?
Short answer: A TER train provides good service between Bordeaux and Sarlat (~2 hours 58 minutes, ~6 trains per day via Libourne and Bergerac), but Beynac does not have a train station — After that, there are 14 km without reliable bus service, so you’ll need a taxi or a driver from the Sarlat train station; renting a car means a 2-hour, 58-minute drive, plus parking and tolls; a group tour locks you into a set schedule. The door-to-door private chauffeur service takes the direct route in 2 hours and 58 minutes, with no transfers or final leg, fixed fare listed as of 332 €, and especially the driver remains available for the Valley of the Castles — Castelnaud, Les Milandes, La Roque-Gageac, and Sarlat, which the train does not serve with door-to-door service. In numbers: approximately 40% less than the daytime taxi meter rate and nearly 40% less at night or on weekends. The table below shows the most popular routes compared to taxis.
