A private transfer between central Bordeaux and Bordeaux–Mérignac airport (BOD) is a fixed €40 in a private SUV (€52 in a 7-seater van). The price is agreed before you travel and never changes — whatever the traffic, waiting time or time of day.
Why a metered taxi price is unpredictable
A traditional taxi runs on a meter: the final fare depends on traffic, red lights, the route taken and any waiting time. On a busy morning or a slow ring-road, the same trip can cost noticeably more than expected — and you only discover the total once you arrive.
A private transfer works the other way around. You know the exact price before you get in, so there is nothing to check on a screen and no surprise at drop-off.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from Bordeaux airport to the city centre?
With Bordeaux Privilège it is a fixed €40 in a private SUV (€52 in a 7-seater van) between central Bordeaux and the airport. You know the rate before you travel and it never changes. A metered taxi, by contrast, varies with traffic and waiting time, so the final fare is only known on arrival.
Is the price cheaper than a metered taxi?
It is above all predictable. You pay the agreed fixed rate whatever the traffic — no meter running, no waiting-time supplement, no bad surprise at the end of the ride.
Do you charge extra if my flight is delayed?
No. We track your flight in real time and adjust the pickup time at no extra charge, whether your plane is late, early or cancelled.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. The SUV rate (€40) or van rate (€52) covers the whole journey for your party, not each passenger.
