Transfer from Pau to SJPdP

[indyinmaine]

My daughter and I are flying into Pau on Tuesday morning, 10 September. I've inquired about a taxi to St. Jean. The Pau flight eliminates the transfer of airports in Paris and gets there EARLY!

Anyone want to join us? I think the total price, regardless of number of passengers is around 100 Euros. The train costs about 25 Euros anyway!

The Pau airport to SJPdP is 113 km according to Google maps, and French taxis run about 2E per kilometer. You may want to check your fare estimate. Gas prices have gone up, and so have taxi rates. Since a return fare from SJPdP is unlikely for the driver, he pay gas both ways.

There are three afternoon trains from Pau to SJPdP with a fare of about 25E per person.

Buen camino!

Falcon,

There was a post from two Danish people, "Landing in Pau on 6 August", saying they had a quoted price of 116 Euros. That's where I got it from. Is this a misquote?

Pau airport to Lourdes is 90 to 110 Euro (day and night rates) for a distance of 53 km. You should contact a taxi company at the Pau airport and get a quote, I think.

Passengers are able to travel by taxi from Pau Airport to Lourdes at a cost of around 90.00 Euro during the day, and about 110.00 Euro at night, on Sundays or on public holidays. These prices are an estimation, and may vary according to the distance of the journey, the destination and the number of passengers in the vehicle.

Taxis in France are metered, which means that they have a device which records the number of kilometres travelled. The rate charged to the customer is then calculated accordingly. However, there may also be additional charges, such as those for luggage loaded, more than four adult passengers in a taxi and for animals transported. The meter may also start at a small minimum fee, and there could be surcharges for journeys commencing from an airport location. The price for your journey can be discussed with the taxi driver before leaving the airport, and it is sometimes possible to find out the average cost of your trip from the airport information desk. It is often wise to learn a few worlds in French as well!

It's not necessarily a misquote, but the price may be negotiable depending on gas prices, availability of drivers, etc., and the negotiable may not necessarily be downward. If you do take the train, bring a lunch with you--- the restaurant at the station, or one nearby, will happily make you something. It is a 4-5 hour journey (if my memory serves me right) without a snack car.

It is 4 hours 43 minutes to St. Jean with a 2 hour 10 minute layover in Bayonne.
