Marseille-Provence Airport Transfers to Avignon and All of Provence

What happens when you land at Marseille-Provence Airport?
Your driver is already waiting when you walk out of baggage reclaim. Marseille airport in Marignane has two terminals: Terminal 1 for most scheduled airlines and Terminal 2 for low-cost carriers. Your chauffeur stands in the arrivals hall of the right terminal, holding a sign with your name.
Here is how a typical arrival works:
- Before you fly: send us your flight number, the number of passengers and bags, and the exact address of your villa, hotel or rental.
- While you are in the air: we track the actual landing time. If the flight is late, the pick-up time moves with it. You don't need to call anyone.
- On arrival: if the luggage takes a long time, just send a message by phone or WhatsApp. Your driver then helps with the cases and walks you to the car.
- On the road: a direct ride to your door, even when the last stretch is a narrow country lane to a farmhouse.
How long is the drive from Marseille Airport to the Luberon?
It takes about 1 hour to reach the heart of the Luberon (Gordes, Lourmarin, Bonnieux), traffic permitting. The best route depends on where you are staying:
- Via the A7 motorway and the Cavaillon exit: the most direct way to Gordes, Ménerbes, Oppède and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
- Via Aix-en-Provence and Pertuis: often better for Lourmarin, Cucuron, Ansouis and the southern Luberon.
Your driver picks the route according to the time of day and live traffic. For Avignon, the drive follows the A7 past Salon-de-Provence. For Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and the Alpilles, you leave the motorway earlier.
When is the airport busiest?
A little planning helps at certain times of year:
- Saturdays in July and August, when holiday rentals change over: the A7 motorway is often congested in both directions.
- Weekday rush hours around Marseille, Vitrolles and Aix, in the morning and late afternoon.
- Spring weekends, when flights to Provence fill up.
For your departure, we work out the pick-up time with these periods in mind. It is always better to arrive early than to rush to the check-in desk.
Who is a private airport transfer best for?
Getting from Marignane to Avignon or the Luberon by public transport means combining a shuttle bus, a train and often a taxi. With luggage or children, it quickly becomes tiring. A private driver makes most sense for:
- Families: a child seat is fitted on request, and the 7-seat van takes pushchairs and suitcases.
- Groups of friends renting a house in the Luberon or the Alpilles: one vehicle, one fixed price per vehicle, not per person.
- Golfers and cyclists: the van carries golf bags and boxed bikes, depending on volume. Just mention them when you ask for a quote.
- Business travellers heading to Aix-en-Provence or Avignon who want a quiet ride in a sedan or Classic Premium car.
- Late arrivals, when train connections have stopped for the night. We run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Can you stop on the way?
Yes, as long as you mention it when booking. Many guests like a short break in Aix-en-Provence, about 30 minutes from the airport, or a stop at a supermarket to stock up before arriving at a holiday rental. Your driver waits during the stop, and the quote includes it.
