Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport (BOD), located in the commune of Mérignac, 11 km west of Bordeaux, is one of the busiest airports in France. When considering your Bordeaux Airport transfer to the city center there are four main options; taxi, private transfer, tram and a shuttle bus.
Considering traffic, a door-to-door Bordeaux Airport Taxi trip usually takes 35 minutes and can carry up to 4 passengers. If price is your main concern, the recently opened tram line is a great option for you, taking around 35 minutes to get downtown, not including waiting time.
Another budget option is the shared shuttle service operated by Navette Shuttle, which takes around 30 minutes to reach the central train station of Bordeaux and is perfect if you are traveling elsewhere.
Lastly, you can opt for a pre-booked private transfer, which will drop you off at your accommodation in around 35 minutes, with the added benefit of a fully customizable service and a trained English-speaking driver.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Bordeaux at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
