Express Burricott

Just to let anyone thinking of using their service from Biarritz to SJPdP. Their web site shows dates that taxis have been booked where there are available seats. At present it lists days until the end of April and it says that it will show the May ones at the start of April. Their booking facility is for the booking of new taxis (ie at 72 euros for the whole taxi, later reduced as others share it). I looked at their booking calendar and found some dates greyed out and unavailable for booking so I guessed (correctly) that someone had already booked a taxi for my date (May 10th). I emailed them asking if this was the case and they replied within 24 hours that it was, asking me to confirm if I wanted a seat. I did so immediately and they promptly replied with a confirmation at 16 euros (what I paid last year)..
My suggestion therefore is if you wish to share it might be worth your while to replicate this process.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Caroline is one of the busiest, yet flexible, person I found in my attempt tog et to SJPP. It's worth every Euro you spend, even if you don't have anyone to ride with.
 
So right. I was on my own /caroline is easy to talk to. If you're lucky to coincide with someone else's timeline , fine. Myself, after Sydney-Paris And overnight train to Bayonne. Just so happy to be collected and taken to sjpdp Go prepared to pay all and anything else lower is a bonus.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I too booked a taxi last May after having an email conversation with Caroline during which she assured me she would try to fill it, which she did (there was only one vacant seat). Some of those on the mini bus became travelling friends at points along the way.
