FAQ: Coach Hire in Bordeaux
1. What happens if our flight into Bordeaux Airport (BOD) is delayed?
We are fully accustomed to managing flight delays. We monitor your flight's status, and the driver will adapt their schedule. For minor delays, the driver simply waits. For significant changes, we coordinate a change of drivers if necessary, ensuring your group is never left stranded and the communication remains clear.
2. Will the coach driver know the best way to get to the wine chateaux?
Yes. We primarily work with local drivers who are regional specialists and are very familiar with the roads, access points, and specific parking requirements for the renowned chateaux in areas like Saint-Emilion and the Médoc. The full itinerary is provided to them in advance so they can study the route and confirm details with our operations team.
3. Will the coach arrive on time for our hotel pickup in Bordeaux?
Our drivers are highly focused on punctuality. They aim to arrive at the agreed meeting point on time, or even early, to allow ample time for loading luggage and departing precisely at the scheduled time. Should any rare traffic issue delay the driver, they will inform us immediately, and we will contact your group leader with an update to reassure you.
4. How do you determine the correct coach size for my group?
When you request a quote, we ask for your group size and an estimate of your luggage. Based on this, Coralie or Arnaud will propose a vehicle (minibus, mid-size coach, or full-size touring coach) from our local partners that is perfectly sized to ensure comfort for all passengers and enough capacity for all luggage.
5. How far in advance should I book coach hire for my Bordeaux wine tour?
For popular peak seasons (April, May, June, September, October) and major destinations like the Bordeaux region, we strongly recommend booking your coach hire as far in advance as possible, ideally three to six months ahead. This ensures the best availability and pricing, particularly for larger coaches.
