Meet-at-curb valet service at Terminal 1
Drop-off happens directly in front of T1 at Nantes Atlantique, where a Blue Valet staffer meets you at the departure curb at the exact time you booked. You hand over your keys, note your mileage on the form, and they drive your car to a secured off-site car park while you walk straight into the terminal.
Blue Valet runs every day from early morning departures through late-evening arrivals, typically covering the first flights out around 05:00 until the last flights landing after 23:00. You must book online in advance, and your booking confirmation includes the precise meeting point at Terminal 1 and a phone number if your flight time shifts.
Pricing for Blue Valet usually undercuts the official on-airport car parks once you hit 3–4 days of parking, especially compared with the covered P3 or P4 lots at Nantes Atlantique. Rates scale by day, so a weekend run of 3 days costs noticeably less than a full week, and long-stay discounts kick in around day 7.
On the return, after your flight lands at T1, you text or call the Blue Valet number once you have your bags. They drive your car back to the same airport curb in roughly 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic around the single terminal building. You do a quick walk-around, verify mileage, sign the digital handover, and you are on the road immediately.
Blue Valet operates as an off-site valet transfer, so your car never sits in the airport’s own P1 or P2 short-stay lots. Instead, it goes to a fenced and monitored car park a short drive from Nantes Atlantique, with access controlled by staff and CCTV. Fuel, washing, or charging add-ons vary by date and are only visible once you start a booking.
Step-by-step: using Blue Valet at NTE
- 1. Book online at least a few hours before arrival and enter your T1 flight times and car details.
- 2. Receive the exact meeting point and contact number in your confirmation email or app.
- 3. Drive to Terminal 1 departures at the scheduled time and meet the Blue Valet staff member at the designated curb zone.
- 4. Note your mileage, hand over your keys, and confirm your return flight number before they take the car to the off-site lot.
- 5. On return, exit baggage claim at T1 and text or call once you are landside.
- 6. Meet the driver at the same curb about 10–15 minutes later, check the car, sign off, and depart.
Practical tip: pad your pickup call until after you reach the T1 curb so your car is not left idling in the busy departure lane while you wait for bags.
