Taxi Montpellier → Avignon
Your Montpellier → Avignon transfer at €195–€235. 100 km, the City of the Popes.
A taxi between Montpellier and Avignon costs between €195 and €235 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 100 kilometres and a journey time of from 65 to 85 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A9 then A54, with ~€10 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €305. 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.

Avignon is one of Provence's most iconic cities, known worldwide for its Palace of the Popes, the world's largest Gothic palace and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From 1309 to 1377, Avignon was the papal residence, eclipsing Rome as the centre of Christendom. The famous Pont Saint-Bénézet (the 'pont d'Avignon' of the song), with only 4 of its original 22 arches remaining, partially spans the Rhône. The 4.3 km ramparts, entirely preserved, encircle a vibrant old town with plane-tree-shaded squares, mansions and restaurants. The Festival d'Avignon, created by Jean Vilar in 1947, is the world's largest theatre festival (July) with the 'In' (Palace of the Popes courtyard) and 'Off' (1,500 shows across the city). Avignon's TGV station offers fast connections to Paris (2h40). Taxis from Montpellier are used by festivalgoers, tourists and TGV travellers.
