Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) is located at Vitrolles, approximately 28 kilometres north-west of the city centre, around 25 to 35 minutes by coach depending on the A7/A55 approach and traffic. The airport handles approximately 10 million passengers per year, primarily European short-haul routes with connections to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris Orly (ORY) plus some North African and Middle Eastern destinations.
For groups arriving together, a hired coach from MRS is considerably more practical than multiple taxis, particularly for groups of eight or more with luggage, or for groups heading to Aix-en-Provence (25 kilometres north-east of the airport, about 20 to 25 minutes), where the taxi fare is high and public rail access is indirect. We monitor your flight and adjust if there is a delay.
The airport is 28 kilometres north-west of the city centre via the A7 and A55. Journey time is 25 to 35 minutes under normal conditions; the A55 approach into the Joliette and Vieux-Port areas can be slower during morning and evening peaks. Main hotel areas -- Vieux-Port, the Joliette, La Canebiere -- all have good coach drop-off at the hotel entrance. We can carry luggage for multiple rooms and split the group at a single drop if required.
Aix-en-Provence is only 25 kilometres north-east of the airport, about 20 to 25 minutes by coach via the A8 -- a shorter journey than going into Marseille city centre. For groups destined for Aix, this is often the most cost-effective airport transfer option. Further Provence destinations -- the Luberon (80 kilometres, about 60 to 75 minutes), Avignon (80 kilometres, about 65 minutes via the A7), and the Camargue (90 kilometres, about 70 minutes) -- are all comfortable one-transfer coach runs from MRS.
We track your MRS arrival time using live flight data. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board. If your flight is delayed, the driver adjusts and there is no charge for delays up to 90 minutes. For longer delays we keep you informed and rearrange collection as required. We aim to have you on the road within 15 minutes of clearing customs.
As a guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) runs around 90 to 160 EUR per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 150 to 280 EUR per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 230 to 420 EUR per day. City centre and Aix-en-Provence transfers are at the lower range. Longer Provence destinations such as Avignon or the Luberon are at the higher end. Prices are per vehicle. The final figure depends on your route, the date, vehicle movements, and waiting time. We confirm a fixed price with no hidden charges -- send your details for a free quote.
