    Per-person cost vs. other modes

    For one to four voyageurs, a private driver is usually within 30% of the train + shuttle combo while removing every transfer and timetable risk. Above four voyageurs, a van is almost always the cheapest door-to-door option.

    Seasonality

    April – June — Garden opens 1 April. Highest demand on weekends and bank holidays. Book 3–4 weeks ahead for Saturday day trips.

    July – August — Peak season. Median fares hold (we do not surge), but availability tightens. Weekday departures recommended.

    September – October — Best ratio: full bloom on water lilies, lighter crowds, same prices.

    November – March — Giverny gardens closed (Monet's Foundation). Demand shifts to Vernon, Rouen, Honfleur, Étretat day trips and CDG/Orly transfers; same fare structure.

    Methodology

    Booking history: 1,400+ completed Giverny.taxi reservations between October 2024 and March 2026, deduplicated by route and vehicle class.

    Operator quotes: blind quotes solicited from 5 Paris/Eure VTC operators in Q1 2026 on a standardized 5-route brief.

    Train + shuttle: SNCF Connect Standard fare from Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny (April 2026 fare grid) plus seasonal shuttle price published by Vernon-Giverny tourism office.

    Rental: average daily rate (Q1 2026) for an intermediate car from CDG/Orly counters, plus Giverny parking and fuel for a round trip from central Paris.

    All figures are indicative ranges for a one-way standard booking, exclusive of optional extras (extra waiting beyond 60 min, multi-stop add-ons, ski/golf luggage).
