FTC Rider provides taxi and private chauffeur (VTC) service in Marseille: transfers to Marseille Provence Airport, Saint-Charles station and the cruise terminals, long-distance city-to-city journeys across France, and hourly hire for day trips in Provence. Book online, fixed price confirmed in advance, English and French speaking drivers, 24/7.

Marseille Provence Airport and Saint-Charles station transfers

Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) sits at Marignane, about 30 km from the Vieux-Port. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and tracks your flight, so a delay costs you nothing: 60 minutes of free waiting time is included on international arrivals. At Saint-Charles station, pick-up is at the drop-off area on the boulevard Voltaire side, or on the platform for passengers with reduced mobility.

Journey times from Marseille

• Marseille Provence Airport: 25 to 35 minutes
• Aix-en-Provence: 35 minutes
• Cassis: 30 minutes
• Avignon: 1 hr 05
• Saint-Tropez: 1 hr 50
• Cannes: 2 hrs
• Nice and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport: 2 hrs 15
• Monaco: 2 hrs 40
• Lyon: 3 hrs 15
• Paris: 7 hrs 30 (overnight long-distance runs available)

Times are off-peak. The A7 and A55 are heavy between 7am and 9am and again from 5pm to 7pm, so for an early flight or train allow an extra 30 minutes — your driver builds that into the pick-up time automatically.

Cruise transfers: La Joliette, Cap Janet and the Mucem terminal

Marseille is France’s busiest cruise port. Ships berth at the Môle Léon Gourret and Cap Janet terminals, ten minutes from the centre but in a port zone where taxis are scarce at disembarkation. We wait at the terminal exit, tracking the actual berthing time, for a transfer to the airport, the station, your hotel, or a full day excursion between two calls.

Hourly hire: the Calanques, Cassis and Provence

Hourly hire — the car and driver reserved for you by the hour or by the day — is the best way to see the region from Marseille. The most requested days out: Cassis and the Route des Crêtes to La Ciotat, the Calanques massif via Callelongue, Aix-en-Provence and Montagne Sainte-Victoire, the Luberon villages (Gordes, Roussillon, Lourmarin), Arles and the Camargue, Les Baux-de-Provence and Saint-Rémy. The driver waits at every stop; no luggage to carry and no parking to find.

Business, conferences and events

We cover business travel to Euroméditerranée, La Joliette, the Prado business district and Parc Chanot, plus hourly hire during trade fairs and congresses. For fixtures at the Orange Vélodrome and other large events, the pick-up point is agreed outside the closed zone and confirmed by message the evening before.
