The Paluds zone, straddling Gémenos and Aubagne, is home to many companies and thousands of employees. Public transport does not cover all hours. For those who start at 6am, finish at 10pm, or need to connect to a flight from Marseille Provence Airport, it is complicated. And it is not an isolated case: it is the reality of all the large business parks in the Marseille hinterland.
Since 2012, MR Taxi has worked with companies in these zones, directly with HR directors, executive assistants, and sometimes employees themselves with a personal professional account. Here is how I can complement your corporate mobility arrangements without adding to your administration.
The industrial zones I serve daily
My B2B activity covers the whole area between Marseille and Aix.
- Paluds zone (Gémenos / Aubagne), many companies in industry, logistics, health and technology. Between Marseille, Marseille Provence Airport and Aix-en-Provence.
- La Barque business park (Fuveau) and the Rousset industrial zone, the Pays d'Aix technology hub, several major semiconductor and aeronautics employers.
- Aubagne industrial zone and ZAC Napollon, continuous service from Aubagne TER station and the A50.
- Rousset, Peynier, Trets industrial zones: a converted mining basin.
- La Penne-sur-Huveaune industrial zone and Saint-Menet, the eastern entrance of Marseille.
- Vitrolles, Marseille Provence Airport, Rognac zones around the airport, logistics, aeronautics.
If your zone is not listed, it does not mean I do not go there, daily coverage extends to the whole département, and I arrange regular trips as far as the Var and the Vaucluse.
Three profiles that call me every week
Technicians and operators on unusual hours
Shift start at 5:30am, shift end at 10pm, on-call duty, urgent intervention. When public transport does not cover the slot, a solution is needed. For temps without a licence or employees on short fixed-term contracts, a simplified company account saves the employee from advancing the fare, you invoice internally or include it in the mobility package.
Sales staff and managers on the move
A return train arriving at 10pm in Aubagne, a return from a mission via Marseille Provence Airport, client appointments to chain between Gémenos in the morning and Aix in the afternoon. An engineer I take two or three times a month always tells me he prefers the taxi for business trips because he can answer his emails in the car, without worrying about parking or the road. That is exactly the point of the service.
Temporary assignments and delegations
A consulting firm setting up a team for three months in Gémenos, external auditors visiting for two weeks in Rousset, a foreign delegation received at head office: for these cases, I provide regular transfers from Marseille, Aix, Aubagne, the airport, or the TGV stations. Just let me know in advance.
What I offer companies
The company account
Quick set-up. You send me the company name, billing address and estimated monthly volume. In return: preferential rates on recurring trips, centralised monthly invoicing with VAT, a detailed summary per employee, and supporting documents suited to expense claims.
Accounting matters for a company, a vague receipt will not pass. My invoices are structured to integrate directly into your expense software, with no manual cross-checking to do.
Airport and delegation welcome
For visitors arriving at Marseille Provence, a named welcome at the baggage claim exit, with a sign showing the employee's or company's name. A van at your disposal for groups of up to 8 people when you host a delegation. Coordinated trips if several flights arrive on the same day.
Long assignments: chauffeur hire
For field assignments or multi-site visits that take a full day, the dedicated day driver option is often more efficient than a series of one-off rides. See the Chauffeur hire page for how it works.
The Huveaune valley in the morning: what I handle for you
Between Marseille and Aubagne, the A50 in the morning can run late because of the Trois-Lucs traffic jams, and the bypass via the D8n is not always faster. I know the time windows and the relief routes. I always leave with a margin, a business appointment missed because of a late taxi has never happened to me.
The same goes for the airport side: the exit towards Marseille Provence Airport can be saturated at rush hour, I know the pivot time.
To open an account or simply try it
The most effective way to see if the offer suits you is to test it on a real ride, a return from a mission, a manager's trip, an airport transfer. For that, or to open a company account directly, contact us directly.
For recurring trips and multi-day assignments, the Chauffeur hire page details the dedicated driver format.
HR directors who have already set up this kind of arrangement will tell you: it is not a huge expense item, but it is one less irritant for your teams, and a concrete argument on quality of life at work in an area where mobility remains a real obstacle.
