Where to find your chauffeur

  1. 1Collect your luggage and walk through the arrivals exit.
  2. 2Your chauffeur is waiting in the hall, holding a board with your name on it.
  3. 3He walks you to the vehicle and loads your luggage.

There is a single arrivals hall. The taxi rank (37 drivers from the Montpellier Airport Taxi Association) is directly in front of it, operating from the first flight to the last. The airport’s official website does not list a private hire area separate from the general drop-off and pick-up zone at the foot of the terminal; the drop-off is free for the first 10 minutes, after which car park hourly rates apply.
