Taxi Valence → Avignon
Valence → Avignon transfer at a fixed price of €240–€290. 125 km through the Rhône Valley from Drôme to Vaucluse in 1h15.
A taxi between Valence and Avignon costs between €240 and €290 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 125 kilometres and a journey time of from 75 to 100 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A7, with ~€10 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €380. 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.

The Valence to Avignon transfer is a majestic descent of the Rhône Valley, from the Dauphiné to the heart of Provence. The A7, the Autoroute du Soleil, crosses landscapes that shift from Drôme orchards to Provençal lavender around Montélimar, then to the southern Rhône vineyards (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras) as you approach Orange and Avignon. Avignon, the City of Popes and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is dominated by the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace ever built. The famous Pont Saint-Bénézet, intact 14th-century ramparts and the Festival d'Avignon (the world's largest theatre festival, every July) make this a world-class cultural destination. This transfer is used by festival-goers, wine lovers visiting the southern Rhône estates, and travellers connecting the Valence and Avignon TGV stations.

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Valence → Avignon route
In July the Festival d'Avignon transforms the city: book your transfer well in advance as demand is very high. A stop at Montélimar (km 50) for nougat or at Orange (km 100) for the Roman theatre is possible. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is only 15 km north of Avignon: a wine-tasting extension to this legendary vineyard is highly recommended. The mistral wind can blow hard in the Rhône Valley, especially between Montélimar and Avignon, but the A7 remains perfectly driveable. On summer Saturdays, the A7 is one of the busiest motorways in France: plan to depart before 8am or after 3pm.
