Long-distance private driver from Narbonne

A long-distance private driver takes you from one address to another, even several hundred kilometres away, with no changes or connections, and with your luggage. From Narbonne, Yago VTC covers any distance, with no limit: Toulouse airport, Montpellier, Marseille, Barcelona, and any other destination in France or Spain. The price of the journey is fixed in advance, and the car picks you up at the address of your choice. The distances in this article are measured by road from the centre of Narbonne.

Why use a private driver for a long trip

A private journey with a driver removes the stages of a long trip: you get in at your door and get out at your destination, with your luggage in the boot from start to finish. It is the same car and the same professional driver for the whole journey, which matters when you are travelling with children, heavy suitcases or an appointment to keep.

Compared with your own car

Taking your own car on a long journey means driving yourself, paying for fuel and motorway tolls, then leaving the car in the airport or station car park for your whole stay. With a VTC, you deal with neither the road nor the parking, and nobody in the family has to make the round trip to drop you off.

• No tiring motorway driving, by night or by day.
• No airport parking to pay while you are away.
• Travel time becomes time for you: reading, working, sleeping.

Compared with the train or a plane

The train and the plane leave you at a station or an airport, and you still have to reach your final address. Narbonne has no airport with scheduled flights: to fly, you have to get to Béziers, Perpignan or Carcassonne anyway, or leave from further away. A car with a driver goes door to door, at the time you choose, without depending on a departure timetable or a connection.

• Pick-up at the time that suits you, 24/7.
• No connections, no change of platform or terminal.
• Luggage, pushchairs and child seats travel with you in the same vehicle.

The main destinations from Narbonne, in France and Spain

The most requested long-distance journeys from Narbonne go to the region's main airports and to nearby cities. A long-distance private driver in the south of France covers an intercity trip from one town to another just as well as a ride to a domestic or international flight. More distant destinations, such as Lyon or another city elsewhere in France, are booked the same way.

Toulouse and Montpellier

Montpellier airport is 99 km from Narbonne and Toulouse-Blagnac airport 162 km. Both are frequent destinations for flights that do not leave from Béziers or Perpignan, but also for a business meeting, a conference or a seminar in town. You are dropped off at the terminal or at the exact address of your meeting, and the WiFi on board lets you work during the journey.

Marseille

Marseille-Provence airport is 238 km from Narbonne. It is the longest journey to the east, often chosen for a flight that does not exist closer by or to reach Provence with the whole family. For this kind of trip, the van keeps room for everyone's luggage.

Barcelona and Spain

Barcelona-El Prat airport is 267 km from Narbonne, and you can be driven there just as you can to your address in the city. Spain is part of the Schengen area: it is a free-movement area with no checks at internal borders, but every passenger must carry a valid identity card or passport, as the French government's Service Public page on the Schengen area points out.

The same service works the other way. If you are arriving in Barcelona, Toulouse or Marseille for a stay on the Aude coast, the car picks you up at the airport and takes you to your accommodation in Narbonne, Gruissan or Narbonne-Plage. From there, our guide to visiting Narbonne gives you your first ideas for outings.

How the price of a long journey is set

The price of a long-distance journey is fixed in advance, before you book, and does not change afterwards. It depends on the journey and the vehicle you choose, saloon or van. You know exactly what you will pay, with no meter running and no unpleasant surprise on arrival, even in heavy traffic.

• The journey: your pick-up address, your destination, one way or return.
• The vehicle: the saloon for up to 4 passengers, or the van beyond that.
• The date and time, so that the vehicle is available at the right moment.

A VTC has no set fare: the price is freely agreed with the customer before the journey, one of the rules that sets it apart from other forms of transport. The details are in our article on the difference between a VTC and the alternatives.

Saloon or van: which vehicle for your passengers and luggage

The saloon suits up to 4 people, and the Mercedes V-Class van 5 or more, or whenever there is a lot of luggage. On a long journey, comfort on board and room for suitcases count as much as the number of seats.

The saloon, up to 4 travellers

The saloon, a Tesla Model 3 or a Mercedes EQE depending on availability, takes 1 to 4 passengers with 3 suitcases. You do not book a specific model: both are comfortable black saloons, suited to solo travellers, couples and business trips.

The van, up to 8 travellers

The Mercedes V-Class van carries up to 8 passengers with plenty of luggage. It is the choice of families on holiday, groups of friends and teams heading to an airport together. For a large group, several vans can make the journey at the same time. All the vehicles are shown on the saloon and van page.

• WiFi and a minibar on board, handy on a long journey.
• Child seats on request, to mention when you book.
• Payment by Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay or Apple Pay.

Booking a long-distance private driver

To book, just call +33 6 75 67 98 78 or send a WhatsApp message with your journey, the date, the time and the number of people. The price is confirmed before you book. For a flight, give your flight number, and for an arrival by train, your train number.

What to tell us

• The pick-up address and the drop-off address.
• The date and time you would like to be picked up.
• The number of travellers and suitcases, and any child seats.
• The flight or train number if the journey starts or ends at an airport or a station.

An airport or station transfer is the most common long-distance journey, but the car will also take you to a hotel, a home, a seminar venue or any other address. To call or send a message, all our details are on the contact page.

Why booking in advance is the rule

A VTC (voiture de transport avec chauffeur, a car with a driver) may only pick up a customer who has booked the journey in advance, and the driver must be able to prove that booking if checked, according to the French government's Entreprendre Service Public website. The driver must also hold the professional VTC card and be listed in the VTC register. Yago VTC is listed under number EVTC031240042.

For a long journey, booking early has another advantage: the driver and the vehicle are set aside for you, and the price is fixed as soon as you book. The earlier you know your date, the easier it is to arrange the time, including very early in the morning for a first flight.
