The most flexible way for the Marseille airport shuttle is to use specialized VTC services. Indeed, some brands are exclusively responsible for transportation to and from Marignane airport. These services are available 24/7 every day and allow you to go to the airport from any place. This is a good solution if you are ever faced with (e) time constraints compared to the Marseille airport shuttles. The mountain bikes take you back to the destination of your choice. As such, several vehicle choices are available and can accommodate up to 7 passengers and their luggage.

However, the services offered by VTC shuttles are relatively expensive and target professionals.
