FTC Rider Cassis

Your private chauffeur in Cassis — Marseille airport transfers, the calanques, and the Provence vineyards.

Private Chauffeur Cassis

FTC RIDER provides private chauffeur and VTC services to and from Cassis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A fishing port tucked between Cap Canaille — the highest sea cliff in France — and the calanques, Cassis is one of the loveliest stops in Provence, and one of the hardest to reach by car in summer.

We operate across the south of France with more than 150 drivers.

Looking for a taxi in Cassis or a private chauffeur you can rely on? FTC Rider gives you the convenience of a taxi — booked and paid online, a fixed price agreed before you travel, a professional driver — with no meter and no surcharges. We cover transfers from Marseille-Provence Airport, runs to Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, and days out in the calanques.

Marseille-Provence Airport to Cassis transfers

Allow about fifty minutes from Marseille-Provence Airport, skirting Marseille on the A50. Your driver tracks your flight and meets you in arrivals with a name board.

Cassis station sits three kilometres from the port, up in the hills — something many visitors discover on arrival with suitcases. There is a shuttle, but it thins out off season, and the walk down is a long one.

Journey times from Cassis

As a guide, in normal traffic:

– La Ciotat: 15 minutes

The Route des Crêtes towards La Ciotat, running along Cap Canaille, gives one of the finest panoramas on the coast — a detour our drivers are happy to suggest.

The calanques and summer traffic

From June to September, car access to the calanques is heavily restricted and parking in Cassis becomes a headache: car parks full by mid-morning and queues at the entrance to the town.

This is exactly where a driver saves you time: dropped at the port for the boat to Port-Miou, Port-Pin and En-Vau, or at the trailhead, then collected at an agreed time, with no space to hunt for.

Boat trips leave the port all day and run from 45 minutes to two hours depending on how many calanques you take in.

Vineyards and days out in Provence

Cassis holds one of the oldest appellations in France: a dozen estates work the slopes between the town and the cape. Several open to visitors and offer tastings — which pairs badly with driving.

Half-day or full-day hire lets you take in two or three estates, then Marseille or the Provence hinterland, safely.

Why choose FTC Rider in Cassis

A fixed price confirmed before departure, with no meter and no surprise surcharge. Booking and payment entirely online, 24 hours a day. Drivers who know the town’s access restrictions in season and the boat timetables. French and English spoken.
