How does pick-up work at Marseille Saint-Charles?
Your driver meets you at the station exit with a name sign, timed to your train's actual arrival. Saint-Charles is a large city-centre station with several exits and heavy traffic around it, so agreeing a precise meeting point saves time. The exact spot is given to you when your booking is confirmed.
A typical transfer:
- When booking, give us your train, the number of passengers and bags, and your final address.
- Your driver tracks the train; if it is late, the extra waiting is free.
- Your luggage is handled for you, so there is no hauling suitcases down the grand staircase.
- The fare is fixed in advance, whatever Marseille's traffic is doing.
How long is the drive from Marseille Saint-Charles to Aix-en-Provence?
Allow about 35 minutes by car from Saint-Charles station to Aix-en-Provence, outside rush hour. Other drive times from the station:
- Marseille-Provence Airport: about 30 minutes.
- Aix-en-Provence: about 35 minutes.
- The Luberon: about 1 hour, depending on the village.
- Avignon: about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Getting out of Marseille is the least predictable part of any journey: tunnels, the urban motorway and office hours can all add time. Your driver picks the route according to the time of day and builds in a margin when you have a flight or train to catch.
Cruise passengers and travellers in transit
Marseille is a major cruise port. If your ship sails from or returns to Marseille and you are travelling by rail, your driver can link the station and the cruise terminal, luggage included. On a port day, hourly hire lets you leave the city altogether, for Aix-en-Provence, the Luberon villages or Avignon, with a fixed return time. Tell us your all-aboard time and the day is planned around it.
Other common situations:
- Train-to-plane connections to Marseille-Provence Airport, when the timing is tight or you are carrying a lot.
- Late arrivals: the last train gets in, public transport thins out, and your driver is there. We operate 24/7.
- Change of plan: your TGV is cancelled or cut short and you need to reach Avignon or Aix by road. Call or WhatsApp us for a quick quote.
