VTC Perpignan prices: how much does a private chauffeur cost?
No meter, no surprises: here's exactly how a VTC fare in Perpignan is built, line by line.
The principle: a fixed fare, shown before departure
Unlike a metered taxi, a VTC applies a fixed fare calculated in advance, based on the actual distance and duration of the trip. This amount is shown before you confirm your booking, and it does not change afterwards — not for traffic, a detour, or an unexpected delay.
For trips under 50 km
On local rides (Perpignan-Rivesaltes airport, the train station, the nearby coast, towns within the metropolitan area), the price combines a rate per kilometre and a rate per minute, with a minimum fare set at 20 € regardless of the distance travelled.
For trips of 50 km and more
Beyond 50 km (Barcelona, Toulouse, Montpellier, Andorra, Costa Brava…), a decreasing per-kilometre scale applies: the longer the distance, the lower the rate per kilometre. Toll and electric vehicle charging are already built into the displayed price — there are no hidden fees to discover along the way.
Night, Sunday and public holiday surcharge
A 30% surcharge automatically applies to any trip made at night (7pm-8am), on a Sunday or a public holiday. Like everything else, it is included in the price shown before booking — never added afterwards.
Comfort & Services options
Some options carry a fixed surcharge, also shown before you confirm:
- Name sign at the airport or station: 10 €
- Child seat: 10 € (+5 € for a round trip)
- Booster seat: 5 € (+5 € for a round trip)
- Pet: 10 € (+5 € for a round trip)
