Marseille Provence: taxi to hotel, station or cruise port

The airport locates its taxi rank outside Terminal 1 and publishes booking contacts. For Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, station or port, give the exact destination and request fare terms. A city-centre estimate does not automatically cover another municipality or boarding gate.

Check the terminal on your ticket and official signs after landing. A booking should specify the meeting point and arrangements for flight delays.
