Welcoming an international client is a unique opportunity to strengthen a business relationship. Every detail counts — and transport is one of the most important. A client who waits 45 minutes for a taxi at Mérignac airport after an 8-hour flight is not in the best frame of mind for a productive meeting. Here's how to avoid this scenario and offer an impeccable welcome experience.
Anticipate arrival as soon as the flight is booked
As soon as you know your client's flight number and arrival time, book their BordeauxRide VTC. Specify the flight number — our system tracks arrivals in real-time and automatically adjusts the pick-up time in case of delay. Your client doesn't have to worry about transport as soon as they get off the plane.
Personalized welcome: a detail that makes all the difference
Request a welcome with a personalized sign. Your client exits the arrival area of Mérignac airport and immediately sees their name — or your company's name. This sends a strong signal: everything has been prepared, they are expected and taken care of. For a client coming from Asia, the United States, or South America after a long journey, this is exactly the message to send.
The journey: a first conversation
The journey from the airport to the hotel or your office takes between 20 and 40 minutes. This is an opportunity — your client can relax in a comfortable vehicle, watch Bordeaux pass by the window, and start to soak up the city. If you have requested a bilingual driver, they can share some anecdotes about Bordeaux and break the ice even before your first meeting.
Organize all their movements during their stay
Don't leave your client to fend for themselves during their stay in Bordeaux. BordeauxRide can handle all their transfers — hotel to your offices, evening restaurant, vineyard tour, return to the airport. A dedicated driver can even be made available for the entire duration of their visit. Your client focuses on business, BordeauxRide handles the logistics.
The return: perfecting the last impression
The last impression is as important as the first. Organize the return to the airport with the same care — comfortable vehicle, departure time calculated with a margin, baggage assistance. Your client leaves with a positive image not only of your company but also of Bordeaux.
