Pre-booking vs. on-demand: what's the difference for your VTC (private hire vehicle) in Bordeaux?

Réserver vs commander à la volée : quelles différences pour votre VTC à Bordeaux ?

Undecided between booking your VTC in advance or ordering at the last minute? Both options are available at BordeauxRide — here are their differences and when to prioritize one over the other.


Advance booking

Do you know your departure time? Book in advance. This is the ideal solution for airport transfers, important professional appointments or occasions where punctuality is non-negotiable. By booking in advance, you are guaranteed a vehicle available at the exact desired time, even during peak hours or events in Bordeaux.


Immediate ride

Need a VTC now? BordeauxRide intervenes in less than 15 minutes throughout the Bordeaux metropolitan area. Ideal for unforeseen events, spontaneous outings or when your schedule changes at the last minute. The price is communicated to you before confirming – even for immediate rides, no surprises.


Is there a price difference?

At BordeauxRide, the fare is fixed regardless of the booking method. No surcharge for an immediate ride, no discount for an advance booking – the price depends on the journey, not when you book.


Which option to choose depending on your situation?

For a flight or a train: always book in advance, at least 2 hours before. For an evening or an outing: an immediate ride is perfectly sufficient. For an important professional event: advance booking is recommended to guarantee your punctuality. For an unexpected return: order immediately, your driver will arrive quickly.

In all cases, BordeauxRide adapts to your pace.
