Bordeaux → Castets: Private chauffeur, train, car, or tour?
Short answer: Castets is a Landes crossroads town without rail service. The nearest station, Dax, still requires a final 15-minute road transfer; renting a car means driving for 1 hour and 36 minutes, paying tolls, and finding parking; a group tour fixes the schedule. The door-to-door chauffeur service covers the direct route in 1 hour and 36 minutes, with a fixed fare from 220 €. Your driver can also remain at your disposal along the Landes coast for Léon, Moliets, Dax, and the ocean beaches. The executive car service rate is agreed in writing before the trip; taxi fares in the table are indicative estimates that vary with time and traffic.

Taxi Bordeaux to Castets: The executive car service—the fixed-price alternative

From Bordeaux, taxis charge by the meter (as a rough guide: about €2 per kilometer during the day, €3 at night, on weekends, and on holidays, plus a €15 initial fare). Over a 129-kilometer trip, the price difference widens especially at night—and the private chauffeur remains the only one to confirm the price in writing before departure.
