Ordering a Taxi:
Cost – Prices vary. We recommend comparing prices before choosing one.
Taxis Radio Marseille (+33 4 91 02 20 20)
Taxis Marseillais (+33 4 91 92 92 92)
Renting a Car:
Cost – Rental cars go for $60-$100/day.
You can rent a car in advance and split it with your travel buddy. If you are traveling alone, contact me and I can figure out who is arriving the same day if you’d like to split a car with one or more people attending the wedding.
Note: The roads in France are extremely small. Unless you are used to driving in narrow streets I suggest NOT renting an SUV. The more compact the better.
