Taxi Carpentras → Mont Ventoux
Carpentras → Mont Ventoux transfer at €70–€85. 35 km, ascent of the Giant of Provence.
A taxi between Carpentras and Mont Ventoux costs between €70 and €85 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 35 kilometres and a journey time of from 40 to 65 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes D974, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €110. 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.

Mont Ventoux is one of France's most iconic peaks. At 1,912 metres, this isolated giant offers a 360-degree panorama spanning the Alps, the Mediterranean, and the Massif Central. Classified as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its unique biodiversity — Arctic species at the summit, Mediterranean flora at its base. A legendary Tour de France climb since 1951, the Ventoux has witnessed triumphs and tragedies of cycling's greatest champions. The Tom Simpson memorial marks where the British cyclist perished in 1967. The Bédoin ascent via D974 (21 km, 1,610m elevation gain) is the most famous and feared. The bare white limestone summit resembles a lunar landscape. Your driver takes you to the top in 40 minutes — where cyclists need 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
