Urgent delivery in Paris, arrondissement by arrondissement

Yes. A licensed taxi operator may carry goods and documents for payment, with the journey recorded on the taximeter like any other fare. It is a long-standing and perfectly regulated practice: what matters is that the pickup takes place inside the licence's home zone, which is the case for any collection in Paris or Île-de-France.

In Paris and the inner suburbs, allow thirty to sixty minutes between your call and the driver reaching the pickup point. In the outer suburbs it is often one hour to ninety minutes. If you know the time in advance, a scheduled job guarantees the slot to the minute.

The basis is simple: a €40 pickup charge, then €2.63 per kilometre beyond the first ten, plus €10 for the dedicated vehicle assigned to your shipment alone. The online calculator measures the real road distance and applies that rate card. Tolls and fuel are already included.

The figure shown online is an honest estimate based on the most direct route. On arrival, the certified taximeter is the reference. In practice the gap is small; when there is one, it comes from a detour requested en route, waiting time on site or a regulated hourly surcharge.

Yes, across Western Europe. Brussels, Luxembourg, Geneva, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Milan, Barcelona and London are regular routes. For Switzerland and the United Kingdom, customs paperwork — ATA carnet, pro forma invoice, export declaration — is supplied by the sender and presented by us at the border post.

Yes, and it is one of the cases where a dedicated taxi makes the most sense: your shipment never leaves the cabin and passes through no depot. For a high declared value, tell us when booking so an ad valorem insurance extension is arranged before departure.

In a saloon, the equivalent of three suitcases: envelopes, cartons, garment bags, medium-sized parts. In a Mercedes V-Class van, up to eight or ten bulky items, panels, flight cases or garment bags carried flat. Beyond that it is no longer a taxi fare but a charter, and we will say so plainly.

Always, at no extra cost. As soon as the hand-over is done you receive a time-stamped photo of the parcel in the recipient's hands, the name of the person who took delivery and the GPS position of the delivery point. The receipt follows by e-mail.
