Paris Taxis

Door to Door Convenience

Paris Taxis are very common in the city, relatively inexpensive and a very convenient way of getting around town.

There is a basic fare set by law and there are supplemental charges for bulky packages, luggage, pick-ups at the train stations, a 4th adult passenger and animals.

It is always a good idea to ask about these charges before the ride so there are no surprises when you reach your destination.

The sign on the top of the Paris taxi will tell you whether the taxi is available. If the sign is lit, the taxi is available.

There are three different rates for Paris taxis within the city:

• Rate A is for trips in Paris between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. except on Sunday and holidays.
• Rate B is for trips in Paris between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and on Sundays and holidays. This fare also applies to daytime trips to the suburbs and to airports.
• Rate C is for trips to the suburbs and to airports from 7 p.m.-7 a.m..

Paris taxi meters start at 2 euros and the minimum fare is 5.50 euros.

All registered Paris taxis have meters. Do not use a taxi without a meter. It is probably a freelance driver, who may not have proper insurance. You run the risk of ruining your vacation.

If you call for a taxi, the meter begins when the driver starts out to pick you up.

There are taxi stands in many places around Paris. If you get a taxi there, take the taxi at the head of the line.

Drivers are not allowed to pick-up passengers on the streets within 50 meters of a taxi stand.

Most Paris taxi fares are cash only. Very few taxis take credit cards.

It is the custom to give a 10% tip to the driver.

Taxi Bleus - Phone: 01.49.36.10.10 English-speaking
