Express Bourricot Express

[Frankybaby66]

Hi, I'm just booking my transport options to start my next Camino in SJPdP, and want to book Express Bourricot from Biarritz, as I've used them before. I see that their office is closed until March. Their webpage seems to say I have to book by email and that payment is taken on booking.
Does this mean I have to provide all my credit card information (including CCV code ) in the email, or do they send me a secure payment link after I email with booking request.
Sorry, probably me being a bit dim - I'm sure someone out there in Camino-land can advise. By the way there's no panic as I don't fly in until 9th June next year, I'm just trying to be super- organised!

Thanks

Others may comment here, but the reservation url begins with https so it should be a secured link.

Just wait if you are not comfortable.

So, I can book through a link on the website? I'll have another look. When I navigated to the part of their site which covered airport to SJPdP transport it said to book by email.
(I'm easily confused - it's an age-thing!)

I don’t think you pay till the day. They won’t know how much to charge until they know how many are on the bus.

And June? June is a long walk yet. You could always ask them when they get back from their holidays in March/April

all my credit card information (including CCV code

If that’s what you have to do; I wouldn’t.

Ok, I initially posted a link to their reservation site, but that was for luggage only. I think I would wait until they are back in March. Sorry.

 

[J Willhaus]

Their reservation site for people transport says that you can pay when you arrive but register in advance. There is a registration form that does not take your credit card info.

I just sent them and email which they received but I did not submit payment. I plan to do that when they open. I’m going in May,

You can’t submit payment until they know how many passengers will be on the ride to split the cost. June is forever from now, so simply send the email to secure the date and they will get in touch with you when they reopen for the season.

It just seems like forever . . .

Hi. We went earlier this year and used Express Bourricot for travel from Biaritz to SJPP. As others have said, email your request to them and they will send you confirmation once they open again. They will take a deposit of €19 per person via a secure link they send, which is the minimum charge if every seat is taken, and you pay the rest in cash to the driver on the day. We ended up being the only 2 people on that minibus, despite it being peak starting season (7th May) and paid an extra €92. It was very convenient though as the driver was waiting as soon as we got through passport control and dropped us off in the centre of SJPP. Buen Camino.

what is the custom for tipping drivers ?

 

[J Willhaus]

Call us cheap, but we didn't tip our driver. People are paid a living wage in France unlike in the US for similar service jobs.

Like @J Willhaus posted it is not needed to tip though I tend to round up the total when convenient. For example = 23€ becomes 25 € for me. It is always accepted with kindness.
