Your Zonetransfers driver waits in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 arrivals with your name and takes you without stops to the Vieux-Port, Gare Saint-Charles, the cruise terminal or any hotel in Marseille, from €70 per vehicle with the price fixed at booking. We also drive to Aix-en-Provence, Cassis, Avignon, Toulon and Saint-Tropez.
How do you get from Marseille Airport to the city centre? The airport is at Marignane, about 27 km north-west of central Marseille on the A7. A private car service takes 25 to 35 minutes to your door, up to 50 at rush hour, and costs from €70 per vehicle for up to four people, with tolls, fuel and VAT included.
Many travellers land at Marignane to continue by train, ferry or cruise ship. These are the four connection points we drive to most, each from €70 per vehicle for up to four people:
| Where | Distance and time | From | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gare Saint-Charles | 27 km · 25–35 min | €70 | The central high-speed station, with trains to Paris, Lyon, Nice, Montpellier and Barcelona. Drop-off on the forecourt by the great staircase. |
| Aix-en-Provence TGV station | about 18 km · 20 min | €70 | High-speed station in open country between the airport and Aix, handy for trains to Paris or onward trips to the Luberon. |
| Cruise terminal (Cap Janet) | about 20 km · 25 min | €70 | Marseille Provence Cruise Terminal in the northern port; it cannot be reached on foot, and the car stops at your ship's terminal. |
| Gare Maritime de la Joliette | about 26 km · 30 min | €70 | Ferry terminal for Corsica, Sardinia, Tunisia and Algeria, 23 place de la Joliette. Give us the ferry company and boarding time. |
Leave at least 2 hours between landing and the boarding cut-off. When you come off the ship, your driver waits at the terminal exit with your name.
Terminal 1, renovated in 2024, handles traditional airlines; Terminal 2 (MP2) handles low-cost carriers. We see it from your flight number.
Early or late, the driver adjusts. You have 60 minutes of waiting from the real landing; delays over 1 h 30 are subject to availability.
After baggage reclaim the driver waits at the exit with your name. Your voucher has a 24-hour assistance number.
A7 towards Marseille or the fastest route to your destination, tolls included.
Non-EU travellers register in the EU Entry/Exit System on their first trip, which can lengthen passport queues for flights from the UK or North Africa.
Where to stay in Marseille? Give us the hotel name or exact address and the driver stops at the door. These are the areas our passengers book most:
The old harbour and heart of the city: morning fish market, boats to Château d'If, terraces on the quays.
The oldest quarter, steep lanes and coloured façades next to the MuCEM and the ferry terminal.
The seafront road towards the Vallon des Auffes and the Prado beaches.
Residential streets at the foot of the basilica, minutes from the port.
Next to the station, practical for an early train.
For very early flights or late arrivals.
