How our private driver service organizes your ride in Bordeaux

When you rent a car with driver in Bordeaux through 8Rental, the trip is planned before the engine starts. After submitting a quote on 8rental.com, our dedicated coordinator confirms the essentials.

Pickup address
Passenger count
Luggage volume
Schedule

That single contact stays with you from booking to drop-off, so you never repeat details to someone new.

Your assigned chauffeur receives the full itinerary in advance, including alternate routes for peak traffic on the Rocade and parking plans for restricted zones around Place de la Bourse. Our drivers carry a French VTC license and know where curbside stops are permitted and where a short walk to a compliant pickup point saves time.

You receive the drivers direct phone number 24 hours before departure. On the day, your car arrives cleaned inside and out, with the chauffeur in position 15 minutes early. For arrivals at Bordeaux-Merignac, your driver will track your flight and adapt the pickup time when possible if landing is delayed. Pricing is confirmed upfront with no surcharges on arrival, and free cancellation comes with every booking.

Our fleet of cars with driver

Our chauffeur service fleet in Bordeaux fits your group

Our Bordeaux fleet consists of cars no older than 5 years, maintained to Euro 6 emission standards. A Business Class sedan such as the Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series seats up to 3 passengers with room for 2 large suitcases, a solid match for airport runs or city meetings. The First Class range includes the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8, also seating 3 with leather reclining seats, individual climate control, and USB charging.

Every car comes equipped with air conditioning, GPS tracking, and full luggage capacity for the booked party. If you're traveling with golf clubs for a round at Golf du Medoc or oversized sample cases for a trade fair at the Bordeaux Exhibition Center mention it at booking so your coordinator assigns the right vehicle. Unlike a taxi line at Gare Saint-Jean, a private chauffeur in Bordeaux meets you at an agreed spot, handles bags, and follows a route that accounts for pedestrian zones in the Chartrons district.

Who books a car with driver in Bordeaux

Corporate travel managers use our chauffeur service in Bordeaux during trade events at the Bordeaux Exhibition Center or for delegations visiting Pessac-Leognan estates. A single booking covers multiple stops across the day, with your driver waiting at each location and adapting the route if a meeting runs long. Invoicing and account management come standard for business clients.

Private travelers and tour operators book a luxury car with chauffeur in Bordeaux for Saint-Emilion day trips, Arcachon Bay excursions, or multi-day routes through the Medoc, and because your driver manages all parking and access logistics, the group simply steps out at each stop. Wedding planners rely on the same service for timed arrivals at venues like Chateau Pape Clement, where staged vehicle access prevents delays.

Questions & Answers

8Rental calculates the price for chauffeured car rental services in Bordeaux according to the distance (we measure the distance by kilometers) or the duration. If you book the car for a whole day, it’s more profitable to calculate the charge on an hourly rate. For multi-day tours, we apply big discounts.

Our Bordeaux fleet is quite an extensive one with a series of premium cars for comfortable and secure driving in France including BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E Class, and other business-class models. If you are more for luxury, we recommend considering First Class cars such as BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, or Mercedes S Class cars. All the mentioned models are fabulous for driving with up to three passengers only. If there are more than three in your group, we’d like to draw your attention to Volkswagen Caravelle, Mercedes V Class/Vito, or Ford Transit models. These vehicles are more capacious yet cheaper since they are Standard Class cars.

Depending on the address you specify as your pick-up address, our chauffeur and car will meet you there. If you include a meet and greet service, the driver will pick you up right from the Bordeaux Airport or station. Otherwise, you can mention your hotel, apartment, or any other address in Bordeaux as your pick-up address. In case there are any vehicle restrictions, the driver will wait for you at the nearest allowed place. In all cases, you will exchange contacts to get in touch if necessary.

Yes, they differ in quality. Standard Class models have basic features such as an air conditioner, ordinary seats, a basic music system, etc. Business Class cars, meanwhile, have premium features including heated leather seats, a built-in audio system, dual-zone climate control, better noise isolation, etc. However, the price of renting a Business Class car is higher, too.

We always recommend our clients to check the amount of their luggage with our booking specialist before heading to Bordeaux to make certain it can fit in the chosen car. If you book a small vehicle yet bring a bigger luggage piece than allowed, it won’t fit and we shall face a problem. Therefore, please, inform us of the exact quantity and size of your luggage in advance so that we can allocate an appropriate vehicle for your tour.
