Landing early or late at Nîmes Airport: what are your options?
The low-cost flights serving Nîmes-Garons often land early in the morning or in the evening, which is exactly when local transport is hardest to find. Taxis are not always waiting outside, and buses are limited. A pre-booked private driver solves the problem: we track your flight and your chauffeur is there when you walk out, whatever time you land.
The terminal is small, so once you have your bags you are out quickly. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
For your flight home, we agree the pick-up time together. Morning flights can mean a very early start from Avignon or the Alpilles, so it is worth planning when you book your tickets.
How long is the drive from Nîmes Airport to the Camargue?
Aigues-Mortes is under an hour away, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer about an hour, and Arles, the gateway to the Camargue, is about 30 minutes. That makes Nîmes a good arrival point for a holiday combining Provence and the Camargue: white horses, bulls, flamingos, salt marshes, beaches and medieval walled towns.
A handy airport for the Gard and the Alpilles
Nîmes-Garons lies south of Nîmes, outside the city. It is often more convenient than Marseille if you are staying west of the Rhône or in the Alpilles. Some popular destinations:
- Nîmes, about 20 minutes away: the Roman arena, the Maison Carrée and the Jardins de la Fontaine.
- Pont du Gard and Uzès, about 40 minutes. Uzès is known for its Saturday morning market on the Place aux Herbes.
- Arles, with its Roman monuments and its Van Gogh connections.
- Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Les Baux, about 45 minutes, for stays in the Alpilles.
- Avignon and Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, about 45 minutes.
You can also break the journey, for example with an hour at the Pont du Gard on the way to your rental. Just mention it when you ask for a quote.
Who is this transfer best for?
- Families from the UK and Belgium renting a holiday home: one vehicle, a child seat on request and a fixed price per vehicle, not per person.
- Groups of friends travelling for a birthday or a wedding: the 7-seat van takes everyone and their bags in one trip.
- Cyclists heading for the Alpilles or Mont Ventoux: bikes in bags or boxes, depending on volume. Let us know when booking.
- Late arrivals who don't want to sort out transport at the last minute.
Planning the rest of your stay
The airport transfer is often just the start. Once you have settled in, you can book day trips with a driver, such as a day at the Pont du Gard and Uzès, or a tour of the Alpilles. Your chauffeur waits at every stop and brings you back in the evening.
For your departure, we can drop you at Nîmes-Garons or at another airport in the region, depending on your flight. Prices for each destination are on our rates page.
Send us your flight number, the number of travellers and your address, and you will receive a fixed price before you confirm.
