Why Choose a Private Driver in Épernay?

Épernay is a must-visit destination for champagne lovers and travelers looking to discover the Champagne art of living. The city also serves as a convenient starting point to explore the region’s wine-growing villages and estates.

However, a trip dedicated to discovering champagne often involves multiple journeys throughout the same day. Visiting locations can be spread out, and tasting schedules require precise planning.

A private driver allows you to plan your journeys around your itinerary, without the stress of driving, parking, or coordinating transfers between multiple locations yourself.

Fully enjoy your day

By booking your transport in advance, you can organize your trips around your visits, lunch, and arrival or departure times.

This allows you to enjoy a schedule tailored to your stay, with the flexibility to plan multiple stops throughout the day.

Travel in a comfortable vehicle

Comfort is particularly welcome when you’ve just arrived on a long-haul flight, are travelling with luggage, or are planning to spend several hours exploring the region.

ELRON VTC offers a chauffeur service in Mercedes vehicles, including saloons or Mercedes V-Class people carriers, depending on your requirements, the number of passengers and the amount of luggage.

Enjoy a personalised service

A private chauffeur does more than simply drive you from point A to point B. The service can be tailored to suit your schedule, your accommodation, your itinerary and your preferences.

For international visitors, being able to communicate in English also makes it easier to organise travel arrangements and coordinate their stay.

What trips should you plan during a stay in Épernay?

Before booking your private driver, it is a good idea to work out the main journeys you will be making during your stay.

1. Your transfer from Paris or an airport

Many visitors begin their trip to Champagne from Paris, Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport or a railway station.

A private transfer allows you to travel directly to your hotel, guesthouse or meeting point, without having to make multiple changes whilst carrying your luggage.

When making your booking, please remember to provide the following:

• Your starting point and your exact destination.
• The preferred date and time for collection.
• The number of passengers.
• The number and type of items of luggage.
• Any time constraints you may have.

If you are arriving by plane, providing your flight number enables us to monitor your arrival and anticipate any changes to the timetable.

ELRON VTC offers private transfers between airports, railway stations and destinations in Champagne, including Épernay and Reims.

2. Your journeys between the champagne houses

Épernay is particularly well known for its Avenue de Champagne, home to several prestigious champagne houses.

Depending on your bookings, you can plan various visits during your stay. Some establishments offer discovery tours, cellar tours or tastings, usually by appointment.

The advantage of having a private chauffeur is that they can organise your journeys between your various appointments, whilst taking into account visiting times and the time needed to make the most of each stop.

We recommend that you book your visits before finalising your travel arrangements. Availability and duration vary depending on the venue.

3. Exploring the wine-growing villages

Champagne is not just about Épernay. The wine-growing villages and the vineyard landscapes are also an important part of the experience.

Hautvillers, Aÿ-Champagne and the villages of the Montagne de Reims are just some of the places that can be included in a personalised itinerary.

Depending on what you fancy, your day could include exploring several villages, visits to local producers and stops to admire the scenery.

However, the itinerary must take into account distances, opening times and confirmed bookings. A realistic itinerary allows you to get more out of each visit, rather than rushing from one place to the next.

Private Champagne Tour: how to organise a day out exploring the region?

If your aim is to discover the many different aspects of the vineyards, the private Champagne Tour is an attractive option.

Unlike a standard transfer, a chauffeur service allows you to have a driver at your disposal for a set period, in accordance with the terms agreed at the time of booking.

This allows you to put together a programme tailored to your interests.

Example of a one-day itinerary

Here is an example itinerary for a day out starting from Épernay or Reims. Visits must be booked in advance and the order of the stops adjusted according to availability.

Morning: a tour of a champagne house

Start the day with a pre-booked tour of a champagne house. This first stop gives you the chance to discover its history, its production methods and, depending on the package you choose, its cellars and cuvées.

Late morning: a tour of the vineyard

Continue on to a wine-growing village or a place of interest in the region. Hautvillers, for example, could be a stop-off to explore the heritage of the Champagne region.

Lunch: a break at your own pace

Plan to have lunch at a restaurant that fits in with your itinerary. It is best to book a table and let your driver know your preferred times.

In the afternoon: a meeting with a producer or a second visit

Depending on your preferences, you can spend the afternoon at another winery or with an independent winegrower, subject to availability.

At the end of the day: return to your accommodation

Your driver will take you back to your hotel or to the agreed address.

This itinerary can be adapted as required. The number of visits should be adjusted to take account of their duration and the travel time required between the various stops.

Private transfer or car hire: which option should you choose?

These two services cater to different needs. The right choice depends mainly on your programme.

Private transfer

A transfer refers to a specific journey between a departure address and a destination.

This formula is particularly suitable for:

• A transfer between Paris and Épernay.
• A pick-up service at the airport.
• A journey from a railway station to your hotel.
• A one-off journey between two towns or two places of interest.

The price is calculated based on the journey, the pick-up arrangements and the details of your request.

Chauffeur-driven transport

This service provides a driver for an agreed period, for several consecutive journeys.

It is particularly suitable for travellers who wish to organise a day of sightseeing, attend several business meetings or keep their itinerary flexible.

The price depends, amongst other things, on the duration of the booking, the vehicle chosen and the terms of the service.

If you are unsure which of these two options to choose, please provide ELRON VTC with your itinerary so that they can draw up a tailored proposal.

Which car should you choose for your trips in Champagne?

The choice of vehicle depends on the number of passengers, the amount of luggage and the type of service.

The Mercedes saloon

A saloon car is generally suitable for solo travellers, couples or small groups whose luggage fits in the boot.

It is particularly well suited to private transfers, business travel and journeys between hotels, railway stations and airports.

The Mercedes V-Class van

For a family, a group of friends or travellers with plenty of luggage, the Mercedes V-Class can offer more suitable space.

It is also ideal for day trips when several people want to travel together.

When making your final choice of vehicle, you should take into account the number of passengers and the total amount of luggage. When requesting a quote, please specify the dimensions or the number of suitcases if you are travelling with bulky luggage.

How can you make sure your booking is sorted?

To ensure your journey goes smoothly, we’d like to ask for a few details so that we can organise a service tailored to your needs.

Set out your programme. Please provide the departure and arrival addresses, the planned visits and any stop-offs along the way.

Please confirm your bookings. For champagne houses and wine estates, please check opening times, availability and visitor policies.

Please specify the number of passengers and the amount of luggage. This information helps you to choose a suitable vehicle.

Plan ahead for timetables. Allow plenty of time between visits and let us know about any train or flight constraints you may have.

Request a personalised quote. The price depends on the journey, the vehicle, the duration and the terms of the service.

By preparing these details in advance, you’ll make it easier to organise your trip and minimise any unexpected issues.
