Saint-Nazaire VTC: private driver, station and airport transfers

Local area

Private driver in Saint-Nazaire, on the Loire estuary

Saint-Nazaire, a sub-prefecture of Loire-Atlantique with almost 75,000 inhabitants, lies on the north bank of the Loire estuary, facing the Atlantic. Nantes is about 65 km away by road. S.C.O is based in neighbouring Saint-André-des-Eaux, so Saint-Nazaire is part of our home area, day and night.

A VTC cannot pick up passengers who hail it in the street: every journey is booked in advance. You choose the time, the meeting point and the vehicle, whether you are setting off from the town centre, the Ville-Port district, the seafront, Saint-Marc-sur-Mer, Penhoët or a business park. Private transport also spares you parking and connections.

Rail

Saint-Nazaire station VTC: meeting your train, catching your train

Saint-Nazaire station, on Place Pierre-Semard, has direct TGV INOUI services to Paris-Montparnasse in around 3 hours, as well as TER regional trains to Nantes and Le Croisic. Timetables vary by day and season, so check your train on SNCF Connect before booking.

Send us your train number and expected arrival time: your driver meets you at Saint-Nazaire station and takes you to your hotel, your meeting or a neighbouring town. For departures, the pick-up is timed around your train with a margin for luggage, first trains of the morning included.

Airport

Nantes Atlantique airport transfers from Saint-Nazaire

Nantes Atlantique airport, in Bouguenais, is about 65 km from Saint-Nazaire via the dual carriageway and the Nantes ring road: allow around an hour, more at peak times. A VTC transfer drops you right at the terminal, with no connections.

For an early flight, give us your take-off time and we will set a pick-up time with a comfortable margin. For arrivals, include your flight number and scheduled landing time. A family with suitcases or a travelling team can take the minibus, which seats up to 8.

Closer to home, Saint-Nazaire-Montoir airport, in Montoir-de-Bretagne, has a platform dedicated to the Airbus plants and can handle the Beluga XL, the manufacturer’s giant cargo aircraft. A pick-up there can also be arranged in advance.

Business travel

Business travel: Airbus, the Chantiers de l’Atlantique and Montoir airport

Industry is part of Saint-Nazaire’s identity. The Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard, whose site covers more than 100 hectares, builds cruise ships, including Harmony of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas. In Montoir-de-Bretagne, Airbus Atlantic assembles, equips and tests nose and centre fuselage sections, from the A320 to the A350, while its Saint-Nazaire site makes complex parts.

Right next door, Saint-Nazaire Montoir airport serves the Airbus plants, whose Beluga cargo aircraft carry away the fuselage sections, and also welcomes business aircraft and private jets. When your flight lands, S.C.O can meet you with a Mercedes minivan and its driver, on booking, to take you to Saint-Nazaire, La Baule, Nantes or anywhere on the Guérande peninsula.

For your visitors, clients, contractors or teams, S.C.O arranges pre-booked journeys to these sites, the port and the nearby business parks, without implying any partnership with the companies mentioned.

Exploring Saint-Nazaire

Saint-Nazaire bridge, submarine base and beaches

Opened on 18 October 1975, the Saint-Nazaire bridge is one of the largest cable-stayed bridges in Europe: it stretches 3,356 metres to Saint-Brevin-les-Pins and rises 61 m above the Loire. It has been toll-free since 1994 and is the gateway to the south bank of the estuary.

By the harbour, the submarine base houses the tourist office and Escal’Atlantic, a museum devoted to ocean liners, and its roof offers a panoramic view over the port and the estuary. Guided tours of the Chantiers de l’Atlantique and of Airbus Atlantic Montoir also start from here, booking required.

The coastline has some twenty beaches and coves, a 3 km landscaped seafront and the customs officers’ path (GR 34) to Pornichet. About 8 km west of the centre, the beach at Saint-Marc-sur-Mer was the setting for Jacques Tati’s Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday. For a restaurant, a show or a day of sightseeing, your driver drops you off and comes back at the agreed time.
