When to use us

When booking ahead makes all the difference.

Very early flight or train

The first departure of the morning, before any shuttle is running. Book the day before: a vehicle is assigned to you.

Bulky luggage

Suitcases, skis, a pushchair, a musical instrument, professional equipment: let us know and we will make room.

Families or groups

Several passengers, young children, a child seat on request. We adapt the vehicle or arrange several pick-ups.

Welcoming a client or partner

A sign with your company's name in the arrivals hall. First impressions count, especially at 10 pm.

Reduced mobility

We meet you on the platform or in the arrivals hall, help with your luggage and drop you off as close to the entrance as possible.

Travel disruption

Cancelled train, cancelled flight, missed connection: we step in quickly whenever we can.

Long-distance travel

When door-to-door beats a connection.

Your questions

Transfers and long distance.

How long does it take to get from Nantes to the airport?

Nantes Atlantique airport is in Bouguenais, about fifteen kilometres from the centre of Nantes. Allow around twenty minutes outside rush hour.

Between 7:30 and 9 am, and again in the late afternoon, traffic on the southern ring road can add significant time. We always build in extra time for morning flights.

What if my flight or train is delayed?

Give us your flight or train number when you book: we track the actual arrival time and adjust, without you having to let us know.

We do not charge waiting time for a delay we can track. That is exactly the point of booking ahead.

Can the driver meet me in the terminal or on the platform?

Yes, on request. The driver waits for you with a sign bearing your name and helps carry your luggage to the vehicle.

It is particularly helpful for older travellers, families with children, visitors from abroad and late arrivals.

North or south entrance at Nantes train station?

The station has two entrances, one on each side of the tracks. The north entrance serves Nantes' historic city centre, while the south entrance is where passengers are picked up and dropped off.

Tell us where you are going and we will agree on the exact meeting point together. Going to the wrong side with luggage means crossing the whole station for nothing.

How is this different from long-distance medical transport?

The framework. Long-distance medical transport requires a prescription, may be covered by French health insurance and, over 150 km, needs prior approval.

Here, long-distance travel is charged on a quote based on the prefectoral rates in force and the amount shown on the taximeter.

you cannot miss?

Book the day before to be sure a vehicle is waiting for you, at the right entrance, at the right time. For a departure in less than three hours, call us directly.
