Station and airport

From La Rochelle station and airport to the island

Arriving by train or by plane? Your driver waits for you at La Rochelle railway station or at La Rochelle Île de Ré airport, which is one of our client references.

Your train or flight number. Give it to us when you book: the driver tracks your actual arrival time. A delay never costs you your transfer.
Luggage loaded. He greets you, loads your bags and drops you directly at your address on Ré.
Early departures. For a first train or a morning flight from Saint-Martin-de-Ré or Ars-en-Ré, book the day before at the latest: the pick-up time is set accordingly.

Families and groups

7 or 8-seat van for families and groups

A stay on the island often means a whole family, suitcases and a pushchair. Rather than two cars, a 7-seat or 8-seat van takes everyone together, luggage included.

Child seats on request. Tell us the children's ages when you book.
Several vehicles together. For a larger group, several vehicles leave and arrive together. MyCourse has already put 18 vehicles on the road in a single day.

The simplest way for a group: the quote form, with the number of people, the addresses and the times.

Booking in high season, in the evening and at night

Summer and long weekends

Arrivals on the island cluster on the same days and the same time slots. Book as soon as your train or plane tickets are confirmed: your transfer is locked in and you no longer have to think about it.

In the evening, the service continues

Dinner in La Flotte, a night out in Saint-Martin-de-Ré, a ride back to La Rochelle after a concert: phone bookings work 24/7. For a precise time late in the evening, book during the day rather than at the last minute.

Weddings and events

Weddings and events on Île de Ré

For a wedding on the island, the most frequent request concerns the guests: they arrive via the station or the airport, stay in several villages, and nobody should have to drive at the end of the night.

Van shuttles between the accommodation, the ceremony venue and the reception, with rotations timed to your programme, then the late-night returns. A saloon car for the newlyweds can be added on request.

The same set-up works for birthdays, family celebrations and events. The Francofolies festival is among our references.

Businesses and organisers

Seminars and delegations on Ré

A seminar in an island hotel, a board meeting in Saint-Martin-de-Ré, a delegation to welcome at the airport: the success of a trip often comes down to the transport. MyCourse Business handles group transfers, a driver at your disposal for the day, meet-and-greet on arrival, including business aviation, and VIP transport. More than 3,500 companies transported.

Private driver to Île de Ré: your questions

Private driver or taxi to get to Île de Ré?

MyCourse is a private chauffeur service, booked in advance. Unlike a taxi, the car cannot be hailed in the street and does not wait at a rank: it is reserved in your name, at the time you choose, with a fare given before departure. For a transfer to the island from La Rochelle, the station or the airport, it is the simplest alternative to a taxi to organise ahead of time.

How much does a private driver from La Rochelle to Île de Ré cost?

The fare depends on the destination village, the time and the vehicle (saloon car or van). It is given to you before the journey. For the exact amount, run a simulation in the MyCourse app or request a quote.

How do I get from La Rochelle to Île de Ré without a car?

The most direct way is a private, door-to-door transfer. Your driver collects you at your address, at the station or at the airport, and drops you at your accommodation on the island, with your luggage. No connections to plan.

Can you pick me up at La Rochelle airport or station to go to the island?

Yes. Give us your flight or train number when you book. The driver waits for you on arrival and takes you straight to your village. The return to the station or the airport is booked the same way.

Which villages on the island do you serve?

All ten: Rivedoux-Plage, Sainte-Marie-de-Ré, La Flotte, Saint-Martin-de-Ré, Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré, La Couarde-sur-Mer, Loix, Ars-en-Ré, Saint-Clément-des-Baleines and Les Portes-en-Ré. Journeys between two villages on the island can also be booked.

Is a driver available at night on Île de Ré?

Phone bookings are open 24/7, including for a late-night return or a very early departure to the station or the airport. To have a vehicle at the time you want, book ahead, especially in high season.

Another question?The quickest way is still to call us.
