Avignon, with its stunning medieval ramparts, the majestic Palais des Papes, and the famous Pont d’Avignon, is a captivating city at the heart of Provence. For any international group travelling here—whether for a school trip, a family reunion, or a corporate event—arranging transportation can feel like a daunting task, especially when you are unfamiliar with French logistics. We specialise in taking that stress away. Our goal is to provide a seamless, reliable, and comfortable coach hire service so that you can focus entirely on enjoying the history and charm of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

When you book your coach or minibus with a professional service in France, you are choosing clarity and expertise. We understand that punctuality, clear communication, and safety are your top priorities. That is why we work exclusively with experienced, local drivers who know the region and the complexities of navigating French cities. You can trust that from the moment you land or meet your driver, your group’s logistics are fully handled by seasoned professionals.

Coach Hire Services available in Avignon

Travelling as a group in a historic European city like Avignon requires a transport solution that adapts to local constraints. Avignon’s city centre, enclosed by its ancient walls, is highly regulated, and large coaches are generally not permitted to access the central areas. This is a common situation in many beautiful, old French cities, but it requires local knowledge to manage effectively.

When you request a quote from us, we carefully review your itinerary. Based on your schedule and destinations within the city, we will determine the most convenient and authorised pickup and drop-off points. The City of Avignon regulates where coaches can stop, and we always inform you exactly where your driver will meet or drop off your group well in advance. This avoids any confusion on the day of travel, ensuring your group is never left alone trying to find the coach in a complicated area. Whether you need a simple transfer from a local train station, a full-day excursion into the Provençal countryside, or transport for a multi-day tour, our reliable service ensures your journey is comfortable and your schedule is respected.

Popular Transfers from Avignon

Avignon’s central location in the South of France makes it a key hub for transfers, connecting you quickly and efficiently to major transport links. For international travellers, these transfers are often the first or last stage of a successful trip, and we know how crucial it is for them to run perfectly. Our experienced drivers and operations team are well-versed in managing these routes, giving you the confidence that your arrival or departure will be smooth and on time.

Transfer to Avignon TGV Station (Gare d'Avignon TGV) This is one of the most frequent transfer requests. The TGV station, located just outside the city walls, serves high-speed lines connecting Avignon to Paris, Lyon, and other major French and European cities. Arranging a private minibus or coach transfer ensures your group and all its luggage are moved efficiently from your accommodation or a central drop-off point to the station platform with plenty of time to spare.

Transfer to Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) Marseille Airport is the main international gateway for visitors to Avignon and Provence. The drive is straightforward but having a dedicated coach means your group bypasses the complexities of public transport or multiple taxi bookings. We are used to adapting to all kinds of travel schedules, including late-night or early-morning transfers. Should your flight be delayed, our operations team is ready to adjust, ensuring your driver is there when you finally arrive, or that a replacement driver is swiftly organised for significant changes.

Transfer to Nimes Airport) A smaller, yet important regional airport, Nîmes–Garons Airport offers connections, particularly for European carriers. A coach transfer from Avignon to Nîmes is a swift, comfortable option, providing door-to-door service that is especially valuable for groups carrying substantial luggage or facing restrictive flight times.

Suggested Day Trips from Avignon

Avignon is the perfect starting point for discovering the unparalleled beauty and rich history of Provence. Having a private coach at your disposal transforms these excursions from complicated logistics into effortless, memorable experiences. You can enjoy the scenery and the destination while your experienced driver handles all the navigation and parking.

Pont du Gard The Pont du Gard is an absolute must-see, representing a staggering achievement of Roman engineering. This massive, three-tiered aqueduct is now a protected UNESCO site. When planning this trip, it is vital to remember that groups arriving by coach must use the designated parking area on the left bank (Rive Gauche). To avoid paying the high coach parking fee—even for a self-guided visit—we strongly advise that your group pre-books its entry and visits the site's museum and educational areas. Booking in advance simplifies the arrival process and ensures you are treated as an official visitor group. You can find more information about the site here: Pont du Gard.

Arles and the Camargue A day trip to Arles offers a dive into Roman history, famous for its Roman arena and theatre, and its deep connection to Vincent van Gogh. From there, a journey into the rugged, wild landscape of the Camargue is easily achievable. This unique region is famous for its pink flamingos, white horses, and black bulls. A frequent destination is Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a coastal town that offers a taste of the Camargue's unique culture and seaside charm. This combined trip gives your group a fantastic contrast between ancient history and natural wilderness. If you plan to stay in Arles, note that we also hire coaches in Arles.

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vineyards For groups interested in the world-renowned wines of the Rhône Valley, a visit to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation is an excellent choice. This area boasts iconic vineyards and historic cellars (caves). A minibus or coach allows your group to move comfortably between different domaines for tastings and tours without the worry of driving. The experience of visiting these prestigious vineyards and learning about the traditional wine-making process in such a beautiful setting is a highlight for many international visitors.
