Like many big cities, Paris has experienced the rise of hybrid passenger cars in recent years. Unlike taxis, the price of the journey is fixed in advance with the drivers of the Uber, Heetch, Kapten or Bolt applications.

However, according to several studies, the prices of taxis taken from the street and vehicles for hire are very close.
For Ubers, prices can change intensively depending on demand at time T but at least they are fixed and known before the trip.

Taxis can take the bus route in Paris, which can be quite an advantage in the event of complicated traffic. Similarly, they can travel on a special lane on the motorway to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport.

• It is cheaper to take a hailed taxi in the street than to book it in advance.
• The taxi price is cheaper from Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Avoid taking a taxi when traffic is dense.
• If you are booking a taxi, get out a little before the meeting time to avoid paying extra charges.
• Beware of the many fake taxis at the airport entrance. Do not respond to direct requests and check that the vehicle has a sealed plate at the front, a taximeter and a counter which must be activated when the race starts.
