From Biarritz Train Station
Biarritz Train Station to Bayonne Private Transfer
It happens more often than you would think: the TGV stops at Biarritz, but the hotel is in Bayonne, or the connection to a regional train is easier from Bayonne station. The 10 km transfer takes about 35 minutes from the platform exit at Biarritz for a fixed €40, with the driver tracking your train so a delay costs nothing.

Your pickup at Biarritz train station
Biarritz SNCF station is in the La Négresse district, about three kilometres from the seafront, and there are no trams or metro to take you into town. A booked car at the platform exit is the simplest way to start your stay in Bayonne, especially with luggage or after a long TGV ride.

- A WhatsApp message tells you where the car is parked as your train pulls in.

About Bayonne
Bayonne is the largest town of the Basque Coast and its oldest: Roman walls, a Gothic cathedral listed as part of the Camino de Santiago, ramparts by Vauban, and two rivers that split it into three districts. Grand Bayonne holds the cathedral and the shops, Petit Bayonne the bars and the museums, and Saint-Esprit, on the north bank of the Adour, the railway station. The Fêtes de Bayonne in late July turn the whole city white and red for five days.
From Biarritz station the car crosses Anglet on the D260 or joins the A63 for one exit, reaching Bayonne in about 35 minutes. Whether you are staying in the old town, catching a train at Bayonne station or heading to the Nive quays for dinner, the fare is fixed at €40 for the car, and the same applies to the hospital, the Adour docks and the outer districts.
Highlights
- The cathedral of Sainte-Marie, its cloister and the arcaded streets of Grand Bayonne
- Chocolate houses on Rue du Port-Neuf and Bayonne ham at the covered market

Bayonne to Biarritz Train Station
If your train leaves from Biarritz rather than Bayonne, the transfer takes about 35 minutes door to door: no security, and the platforms are a short walk from the forecourt. The price is €40 for the car. If you are unsure which station to use, Bayonne has more TGV departures and is closer to the old town, while Biarritz is better placed for Bidart and Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
