Taxi Marseille — Bandol
The seaside resort at the heart of the vineyard
A taxi between Marseille and Bandol costs between €95 and €120 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 50 kilometres and a journey time of from 40 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A50 towards Toulon, exit 11, Bandol, with ~€4 in tolls (Marseille–Bandol section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €155. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Bandol is one of the most elegant seaside resorts on the Var coast, world-famous for its AOC Bandol appellation, one of Provence's most prestigious red wines. Its colourful marina, golden sandy beaches (Renécros beach, Central beach) and secret coves make it a popular destination year-round. The journey from Marseille takes the A50 motorway along the Provençal coastline, offering glimpses of the calanques and Toulon harbour in the distance. Bandol is also the departure point for Bendor Island, a small paradise created by Paul Ricard, accessible in 7 minutes by shuttle.
