Bordeaux → Le Porge: 46 km in 1 hour, flat rate from 118 € — drop-off at the beach, campground, or rental property.
Le Porge is an ocean beach in the Médoc region of Gironde: your driver will drop you off right at the beach, the campground, or your rental—with your surfboards and coolers already loaded—and then take you to Lacanau (13 min) or Cap Ferret (32 min) — an alternative to a taxi—no need to worry about trains or parking.
Four Simple Commitments
Toll-Free Coastal Route
The route goes through Saint-Médard-en-Jalles and then along the D107 to Le Porge, with no highway exits required. The confirmed price remains the same even if traffic slows down on this route during the summer months.
Equipment announced before the trip
Please specify the number of surfboards, the stroller, and the child seats you need before the vehicle is assigned. The town, the campground, and Le Porge-Océan do not have the same luggage capacity or drop-off location.
Arrival Instructions in English
The confirmation can be sent in English, including the name of the accommodation, the Le Porge area, and the return pickup time. This is helpful when the reservation is made from the airport to travel directly to the coast.
Verified town or ocean
The quote checks whether the address is in the town center, on the forest road, at a campground, or in Porge-Océan. This distinction prevents the ride from ending in the village when the intended destination is Gressier Beach.
What is the private transfer from Bordeaux to Le Porge?
The private transfer from Bordeaux to Le Porge is a door-to-door ride with a driver, from downtown Bordeaux—or Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport—to Le Porge, an ocean beach in the Médoc region, in Gironde: 46 km, about 1 hour via Saint-Médard-en-Jalles and the D107. Fixed rate guaranteed in writing from 118 € in the Eco class, with drop-off directly at the beach, the campground, or your rental.
It's the ideal solution for a family or a group of surfers heading out to the ocean: No need to change trains with your surfboards and suitcases, no need to rent a car or look for parking by the beach in the summer. The driver loads the surfboards, coolers, and beach umbrellas, installs the child seats, and drives you directly to your destination. From Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, expect a trip of 104 €.
Le Porge-Océan can be reached after the town center via the D107 and Avenue de l'Océan: this final stretch runs through the pine forest and gets congested during the summer peak season. Therefore, a specific direct reservation is required the campground entrance, the lodging area, or the Gressier parking lot, as well as the equipment to be transported.
