What to know before leaving the airport
The airport shuttle connects Toulouse-Blagnac Airport with Toulouse Matabiau; it is not a direct service to Montauban. Matabiau is a transport hub with an SNCF station, an intercity bus station and the Marengo-SNCF metro station.
Find the shuttle stop on the ground floor of the arrivals level at Gate C2. Other stops include Pierre Baudis Palais des Congrès and Jeanne d’Arc. The shuttle runs every 15 minutes, seven days a week, with airport-to-city departures from 5:40 a.m. to 12:10 a.m.; it does not run on 1 May.
The shuttle fare is €9 per trip. You can also use the ticket across the Tisséo metro, tram and bus network, though fares may change without notice.
How do you connect to Montauban by public transport?
The airport shuttle gets you to Toulouse Matabiau, but it is not a direct service to Montauban. From Matabiau, plan the onward leg separately; the SNCF station and intercity bus station are both part of the transport hub. For the onward rail leg, Montauban train connections are part of the journey planning.
Bus lines 30 and 31 provide lower-cost ways to reach Toulouse city-centre connections. The fare range is €1.70–€2, and the approximate journey to Place du Capitole using bus, tram and metro is 45 minutes. These details describe a Toulouse city-centre connection, not an airport-to-Montauban journey.
A listed bus service includes Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, Toulouse Matabiau and Montauban, among other stops. Its current operation and timetable are unconfirmed, so check the official site before you go.
Driving and transfer options
Driving gives you a direct road journey, while taxi and rental services let you arrange transport from the terminal. For planning the drive after arrival, getting around Montauban by car and finding parking covers the town side of the trip.
Taxi
The airport has 55 licensed taxis available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Find the ranks on the ground floor at arrivals, between Gate B3 in Hall B and Gate C1 in Hall C. You can call the airport taxi centre on +33 (0)5 61 30 02 54 to book.
The airport’s published flat taxi fares cover Toulouse Zones 1 to 4, not a fare to Montauban. Ask the taxi provider about the price for your destination before setting off.
Car rental
Six car-rental operators are available through the airport’s rental platform. If you plan to drive onward, compare availability and terms with the operators before choosing a vehicle.
Ride-sharing
The ride-sharing meeting point is at the Express Park drop-off area near the terminal. Free parking there is limited to 10 minutes; after that, Express Park drop-off charges apply.
Choosing an option for your arrival
Choose based on whether you want to make the connection through Toulouse or arrange a vehicle at the airport. The shuttle has a stated route to Matabiau, while taxi and rental services are available at the terminal; the airport bus route that includes Montauban has no confirmed current timetable.
- For a public-transport connection: take the airport shuttle to Matabiau, then plan the onward leg to Montauban separately.
- For a vehicle from the airport: use the taxi ranks or compare the airport’s car-rental operators.
- For the listed bus route: verify that the service is operating and confirm its timetable before relying on it.
Before travelling, check the airport’s official site for current shuttle fares, operating details and transport information.
