How does the drive from Paris to Madrid work?
Allow about 13 h 30 min of driving for 1,270 km, without traffic or breaks.
The route heads south to Bordeaux, enters Spain at Hendaye, then crosses Castile to Madrid.
The trip exceeds 9 h of driving: we plan an overnight stop or a second chauffeur.
An overnight stop or two chauffeurs: which should I choose?
With an overnight stop, in Bordeaux or the Basque Country for example, you set off again rested the next day.
With two chauffeurs taking turns, you arrive the same day.
Either way, the quote sets out everything before you commit.
Do you have a chauffeur on site in Madrid?
Yes, through our network of partner chauffeurs in Madrid.
They handle transfers from Barajas airport or Atocha station, trips around the city and excursions.
You book with Precellence, which remains your single point of contact; the price is on quote.
When should I choose the road rather than the plane?
When your flight is cancelled and the next flights are full: see flight cancelled, strike: we drive you there.
When you want to stop in Bordeaux, Biarritz or San Sebastián on the way.
Long journeys, in complete peace of mind
On a long journey, your chauffeur stops roughly every two hours, as France's road-safety agency (Sécurité routière) recommends: a few minutes for a coffee, the toilets or a chance to stretch your legs, for you and for your chauffeur. Your chauffeur tells you about the breaks from the start and chooses the moment with you. This is a safety rule we do not compromise on: a rested chauffeur is an attentive chauffeur. Would you rather arrive in one go? Then we recommend two chauffeurs taking turns at the wheel: stops are kept to a minimum, and you arrive at the planned time.
