Taxi Niort → La Rochelle
Your Niort → La Rochelle transfer at €125–€155. 65 km, from the Marais Poitevin to the Atlantic pearl.
A taxi between Niort and La Rochelle costs between €125 and €155 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 65 kilometres and a journey time of from 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A10, with ~€6 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €200. 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.
