Share shuttle Biarritz to St. Jean - June 6, 2025

[BertaP54758]

Hello. I am flying into Biarritz on June 6, 2025 and looking to share the cost of a shuttle to St Jean Pied de Port about 16:40. If no interest I will just take the train and I know this is a ways off but I am just looking to get some items taken care of on my checklist. Thank you in advance.

Just be aware, and I think it is still the case, that passengers need to book directly with Express Bourricot.
Otherwise they may turn up and find there are no seats.
I once made the mistake of 'collecting' a couple of Pilgrims I met at Bayonne station and offered them a lift in the shuttle. The owner / driver was not impressed, but as I had booked the shuttle and was the only passenger, they were allowed to join me.

Maybe more recent users could update us on the 'etiquette' of using Express Bourricot.

That's is correct. According to their license they must have advance written (email) reservations. This is from their website:

I booked EB for a shuttle from Biarritz airport in mid-September of this year, and at the time of booking (about a month before) I was the only passenger. By the time I actually arrived at Biarritz, three others had joined me, and a fourth was trying to beg a ride (and ran into the 15-minute rule). Total cost ended up being somewhere in the high 20-Euro range (don't quite remember), which is waaayyyyyy cheaper than taking a taxi, and drops you off about a half-block away from SJPdP's old town centre, and also quite close to the town's TI.

Just my €0.02 worth.

EB does the work of filling the shuttle for a person booking a ride with them. As Getwood stated, it is a transportation choice from BIQ where the available seating is sold out. I have been in their office in SJPdP on other business and while waiting for my turn at the desk listened to back to back phone calls that were requesting a ride that day and were told there were no seats available for that entire day.

All good information so far. I never had to pay full amount any time I used EB. All you have to do is wait for the driver to come in the terminal. They will find you if you wait by the exit from the baggage hall. I can highly recommend EB.
