What is the private transfer from Bordeaux to Marseille?
The private transfer from Bordeaux to Marseille is a long-distance, door-to-door trip with a private chauffeur, from Bordeaux—or the Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport—to Marseille, France's second-largest city and the prefecture of the Bouches-du-Rhône department [1] : 645 km, about 6 hours via the A62, A61, and then the A9 [4], starting 1013 €.
Let’s be honest: for this distance, you’ll need to check the TGV schedules and travel times for your travel date on SNCF Connect [3]; flying from Bordeaux-Mérignac is also an option. These modes of transportation are often cheaper for a single traveler. The executive car service doesn’t claim to beat those prices for a single traveler: its strength lies in offering a private, direct service with no transfers or fixed schedules.
It really makes sense with family or in a group (4 to 7 people; the cost is split), with large pieces of luggage or equipment, a pet, for travelers who prefer to avoid flying, or for a trip with stops along the way, in complete discretion. Available 24 hours a day across four vehicle categories—Eco, Sedan, Eco Van, and Mercedes Van—free Wi-Fi and water, direct booking no commission.
