Taxi Toulouse — Tarbes
Gateway to the central Pyrenees and Pic du Midi
A taxi between Toulouse and Tarbes costs between €295 and €360 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 155 kilometres and a journey time of from 100 to 120 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A64 (A64 motorway), with ~€15 in tolls (Toulouse–Tarbes section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €470. 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.

Tarbes, prefecture of Hautes-Pyrénées, is the gateway to the central Pyrenees. Dominated to the south by the Pyrenean chain and the Pic du Midi de Bigorre (2,877 m), accessible by cable car from La Mongie, Tarbes offers a unique blend of urban culture and mountain nature. The town is known for its National Stud (founded by Napoleon in 1806), its Massey Gardens (one of the finest parks in southwest France) and its Hussars Museum. Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées Airport serves international flights, particularly pilgrims to Lourdes. Tarbes is also an ideal base for ski resorts (Grand Tourmalet, Cauterets) and hikes in the Pyrenees National Park.
