Marseille Airport to Avignon Transfer

Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer: the easiest way to get there

When you land at Marseille Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Avignon. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Marseille Airport to Avignon route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Avignon is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Marseille Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Marseille Airport (MRS)

Marseille Airport (MRS) lies at Marignane, about 25 km north-west of Marseille and about 80 km from Arles, around 1 hour by motorway.

Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Marseille Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer.

Searches for "MRS to Avignon" or "MRS airport transfer" land here for a reason: MRS is the airport code for Marseille Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Avignon.

Marseille Airport to Avignon at a glance

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day.

Taxi or private transfer from Marseille Airport to Avignon?

The airport taxi fare from Marseille Airport to Avignon is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Marseille Airport to Avignon per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Avignon involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Avignon, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Marseille Airport to Avignon: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Marseille Airport runs mainly into Marseille itself: airport shuttle coaches reach Marseille Saint-Charles station in about 25 minutes and fit travellers with light luggage who are staying near the station, while the metro and tram then serve the centre; a private car is simpler for families, large bags, late arrivals and excursions to Cassis, Aix-en-Provence, Arles and the Luberon. Reaching Avignon from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Avignon is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Avignon

Avignon lies on the Rhône in northern Provence, about 90 km north of Marseille Provence Airport. Avignon is the walled city of the popes, who lived here in the 14th century when the papacy moved from Rome. The huge Palais des Papes dominates the old town, whose medieval ramparts run for about four kilometres around narrow streets, squares and the covered market Les Halles. The ruined Pont Saint-Bénézet, the famous Pont d'Avignon, juts into the Rhône, and the Rocher des Doms park gives views over the river and the countryside. In July the Festival d'Avignon fills every square with theatre. The city is a convenient base for the Luberon villages, Orange and the Pont du Gard.

Things to do in Avignon

The reasons most visitors come to Avignon: the Palais des Papes, the Pont d'Avignon, the medieval ramparts, Les Halles market and the Festival d'Avignon. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.

Marseille itself is within reach for a day: The Calanques National Park, The Palais Longchamp and The Cité Radieuse by Le Corbusier - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Avignon

Hotels and places to stay in Avignon: inside the ramparts near Place de l'Horloge, Rue des Teinturiers, the Rhône bank at Île de la Barthelasse and the TGV station area. Tell us yours when you book and the driver plans the last few streets before you land.

Most of the walled centre is pedestrianised or restricted, so give the driver your exact hotel address; during the July festival expect closed streets and book your pickup point in advance.

Meeting your driver at Marseille Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Marseille Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Marseille Airport.

Our vehicles for the Avignon transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.

Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Avignon and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.

Who books the Avignon transfer

Who uses a private transfer from Marseille Airport to Avignon? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Avignon and the ride back to Marseille Airport are arranged in the same conversation.

How to book your Avignon transfer

Send the form on this page, or write to us on WhatsApp: flight number, date, passengers, luggage and hotel. Within a few minutes a member of our team confirms your Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer with the price fixed, the vehicle chosen and the meeting point at Marseille Airport explained. Everything is in writing, in English or Arabic.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Marseille Airport

Parking and one-way streets make the Old Port and Le Panier awkward by car, so give the driver your exact hotel address; book calanque boat trips and the Château d'If ferry in advance in summer, and keep an eye on the weather for the Mistral.

Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Marseille Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.

Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Marseille Airport.

Avignon to Marseille Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Avignon to Marseille Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Marseille Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Avignon transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Marseille Airport to Avignon transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
