Booking Details

How to Take Taxi in Paris?

Being a tourist attraction, this city is always in need of transport either public or private. This city accommodates almost 18,000 licensed taxis.

1. Hire from a Cab Stand

Here are almost 500 authorized cab stands in the city. Just wave down a cab and head towards your destination. It is cheaper as compared to hiring a taxi via phone call.

2. Hire Via Phone/Online

Another way to catch a cab is to hire over a phone call. However, if you are visiting Paris for the very first time, you should take into account that the meter of the taxi starts when the cab driver starts driving to your pickup location. It's legal. If he is a bit farther from your site, hiring a cab can be expensive. So, if you are roaming around some distant suburb of Paris, do not forget this piece of advice. Walk, and find a taxi from a nearby cab driver.

3. Don’t Wait Until Last Minute

Typically, you do not get into the troubled water while finding a taxi. However, if you want to hire the best taxi service during lunchtime, dinnertime, or on a rainy day, you may face some problem if you have not booked a taxi in advance. If you hire at the last minute during the aforementioned timings, either you will have to wait, or you may have to reach your destination by foot. In addition to this, rates increase during rush hours. So, if you want to spend less money as fare then do not hire during peak hours.  

4. Get to Know About Extra Charges

Typically, you'll be charged a little extra for your luggage, pets, baby stroller, or any other heavy item. So, keep it in mind while traveling in this city. Although cab driver will charge for heavy luggage, generally, there are no charges if you need to have a wheelchair along you. Moreover, booking a taxi may also require you to pay some extra fee. In addition to this, you also need to give some tip to the driver. Standard tip percentage is from 5-10%.

5. Pay in Cash

Mostly, you need to pay the charges as cash since most of the drivers do not accept the card. However, if somebody takes credit or debit card, there will be a sign on the back side of the cab.

6. Don’t Hire a Taxi Within 50 Meters Distance from the Taxi Stand

Yes, please. It is not allowed to the taxi drivers to pick up anyone within the range mentioned above. Being a passenger, you too should know this rule. Walk to the taxi stand and hire the best taxi service.

7. Hire a Licensed Taxi

This rule is made for your convenience. If an unlicensed taxi driver harms you, police may not help you in any regard.

To sum up, be careful and abide by the rules whenever you need to hire a taxi. In this way, you will not face any inconvenience and will end up catching the best taxi service.
