What to know before your transfer at Bordeaux Airport (BOD)

Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Bordeaux Airport (BOD).

Where your driver meets you

Your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of your terminal — Hall A, Hall B or the Billi Terminal — holding a name sign. With three terminals, flight monitoring ensures the driver is at the right one even if your arrival changes.

ZFE and tolls included

Bordeaux's Zone à Faibles Émissions, in force since January 2025 inside the rocade, plus any road charges, are fully covered in your fixed Transfeero price. The toll-free A630 adds nothing — you pay zero extra on arrival.

Drive time on the A630

The airport links to central Bordeaux via the A630 rocade, exit 11b, about 12 km away. Expect 35–45 minutes door to door, longer during weekday peaks (7–9 a.m., 4–6 p.m.) when the rocade and Garonne bridges clog.

Licensed French drivers

All Transfeero partners in France operate under the standard professional VTC private-hire registration, meaning fully licensed, insured drivers. You travel with a vetted professional, not an unregulated ride.

Transfer insights for Bordeaux Airport

Bordeaux Airport operates three terminals: Hall A, which handles the majority of flights (Aegean, Iberia, KLM, Vueling and others), Hall B, dedicated to Air France, and the Billi Terminal for low-cost carriers such as easyJet. In Halls A and B departures occupy the upper floor and arrivals the ground floor, while Billi keeps both on a single level. After immigration and baggage reclaim, you walk into the arrivals hall, where your Transfeero driver waits at the baggage-hall exit holding a name sign. Note that the airport closes to the public overnight, roughly between midnight and the early hours.

The drive into town runs along the A630 autoroute — the ring road locals call the "rocade" — leaving at exit 11b for the airport. Central Bordeaux lies about 12 km east, and a typical door-to-door run takes 35 to 45 minutes. Expect heavier going during weekday peaks, broadly 7–9 a.m. and 4–6 p.m., when the rocade and the Garonne bridges become the main bottlenecks and Friday afternoons start early.

Since 1 January 2025 Bordeaux Métropole runs a Zone à Faibles Émissions (ZFE), covering the area inside the rocade and requiring a Crit'Air sticker; the rocade ring road itself stays outside the perimeter and open to all. There are no road tolls on the A630 and no urban congestion charge. With Transfeero, any applicable ZFE requirement and every road charge are already covered by your fixed price, so you pay nothing extra on arrival.

The alternatives each carry trade-offs. Tram A connects the airport to the centre in about 40 minutes for €1.70, but you change and carry luggage; the 30'Direct shuttle reaches Gare Saint-Jean in roughly 30 minutes for €8. The metered taxi rank averages around €35 with night and Sunday surcharges, and queues build at busy times. A pre-booked private transfer removes the wait, the surcharges and the luggage juggling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific answers about transfers at Bordeaux Airport — booking, pickup zones, local tolls, and what changes between terminals.

Where exactly will my driver meet me at Bordeaux Airport?
Your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands — Hall A, Hall B or the Billi Terminal — holding a sign with your name. In Halls A and B arrivals are on the ground floor. There is no need to search for a desk or counter; simply clear baggage reclaim and walk out to find your driver waiting.
Are the ZFE and tolls included in the price?
Yes. Bordeaux Métropole's Zone à Faibles Émissions, active 24/7 inside the rocade since January 2025, and any road charges are all built into your fixed Transfeero fare. The A630 rocade route from the airport is toll-free and there is no urban congestion charge, so you will never face an extra payment when you arrive or reach the city.
How long does the transfer to central Bordeaux take?
The airport sits about 12 km west of the centre via the A630 rocade, exit 11b. A typical run takes 35 to 45 minutes door to door. During weekday peaks — roughly 7–9 a.m. and 4–6 p.m. — the rocade and the Garonne bridges become congested, so allow extra time, especially on Friday afternoons when traffic builds early.
How does Transfeero compare with Tram A or the shuttle?
Tram A reaches the centre in about 40 minutes for €1.70, and the 30'Direct shuttle serves Gare Saint-Jean in roughly 30 minutes for €8, but both mean carrying luggage and changing vehicles. A Transfeero transfer takes you straight to your address in 35–45 minutes with no changes, fixed at EUR 52.61 for the whole car.
What if I land at a different terminal than expected?
No problem. Transfeero monitors your flight in real time, so if your aircraft is reassigned to Hall A, Hall B or the Billi Terminal, your driver simply moves to the correct arrivals exit. This adjustment is automatic and costs nothing extra — the fixed price you booked stays exactly the same.
Are the drivers properly licensed in France?
Yes. Every Transfeero partner operating at Bordeaux Airport holds the standard French professional VTC private-hire registration, which is the legal requirement for chauffeured transfers. That means you ride with a vetted, insured professional driver in a properly registered vehicle, rather than an informal or unregulated service.
Is a transfer available late at night or very early?
Yes, Transfeero transfers can be booked around the clock and your driver tracks your flight to be ready when you land. Be aware that Bordeaux Airport itself closes to the public overnight, roughly from midnight to the early hours, so very late arrivals are limited by the airport's own operating schedule rather than by Transfeero.
How do I pay, and should I tip the driver?
You pay when booking online, so the fare is settled before you travel and confirmed as a fixed price — no cash needed in the car and no metered surprises. Tipping is not expected in France and is entirely at your discretion; if you feel the service was excellent, a small gratuity is welcome but never required.
Can I request a child seat for my family?
Yes. Transfeero provides child seats free of charge on request — simply add the requirement when you book, specifying the age or weight of your child so the right seat is fitted. This saves you carrying bulky equipment through the airport, and there is no surcharge added to your fixed transfer price.
What happens if my flight is delayed on arrival?
Transfeero monitors your flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically, so a delay never means a missed transfer. You also have 60 minutes of free waiting time from the moment your flight lands at Bordeaux Airport, giving you ample time to clear immigration and collect your baggage without any extra charge.
Can I cancel my booking if my plans change?
Yes. You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time and receive a full refund, which makes booking ahead a low-risk choice. This flexibility is useful if your itinerary shifts, letting you secure a driver and fixed price now without committing yourself irreversibly.
