Taxi Marseille → Sanary-sur-Mer
Your Marseille → Sanary-sur-Mer transfer at a fixed price of €105–€130. Route via A50. Online booking.
A taxi between Marseille and Sanary-sur-Mer costs between €105 and €130 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 55 kilometres and a journey time of from 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A50 (eastern motorway), with ~€3 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €170. 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.

Sanary-sur-Mer is often cited as the finest harbour on the Provençal coast between Marseille and Toulon. This town of 17,000 inhabitants has preserved the authenticity of its port where pointus — brightly coloured traditional fishing boats — still bob before the pastel-hued waterfront facades. In the 1930s, Sanary became a haven for German intellectuals fleeing Nazism: Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Lion Feuchtwanger and Stefan Zweig all lived here, making this small town the cultural centre of German literature in exile. Today, Sanary charms visitors with its daily Provençal market on the port (one of the coast's most photogenic), its flower-filled lanes in the old centre, its Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel overlooking the bay from its hilltop, and its exceptional seabed that makes it a renowned diving spot. The Embiez Island (Paul Ricard) is accessible by a 12-minute boat ride from Le Brusc, a hamlet attached to Six-Fours but right next to Sanary. A taxi from Marseille is the fastest and most comfortable way to reach this Provençal gem, especially in summer when coastal roads are jammed.
Route
Route Marseille → Sanary-sur-Mer
From Marseille, your driver takes the A50 towards Toulon. The motorway crosses the Huveaune valley and Aubagne before entering the Calanques massif hills through the Cassis tunnel. Emerging from the tunnel, the Mediterranean comes into view at La Ciotat. The motorway then skirts the Bandol vineyards, one of Provence's most prestigious appellations for its Mourvèdre-based red wines. After the Bandol toll (approximately €3), the Sanary / Ollioules exit leads directly to the D559 descending towards Sanary port. The approach via the Route de la Gare offers a first glimpse of the bay, the colourful pointus and the Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel above. Your driver can drop you directly at the port or your accommodation. The journey takes about 40 minutes in light traffic but can stretch to 1 hour in summer, mainly through Aubagne and on the D559 near Sanary.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Marseille → Sanary-sur-Mer route
Sanary's market runs daily on the port, but Wednesdays and Saturdays are the liveliest with an extended market spilling into adjacent streets. In summer, the Wednesday evening night market (8pm to midnight) is enchanting: crafts, jewellery and local specialities in a festive atmosphere. For diving, the CIP Sanary centre offers baptisms and explorations on wrecks and the bay's Posidonia seagrass beds. The Notre-Dame-de-Pitié chapel (10-min walk from the port, steep climb) offers the finest view over Sanary and the coast to the Hyères islands. For literature lovers, follow the German exiles trail (commemorative plaques in the centre). La Tour restaurant, facing the port, serves the best sea urchins on the coast in season (October to April). Avoid arriving by car on Wednesday mornings: the port car park fills up by 9am — by taxi, the driver drops you off and leaves.
