Alternative to taxis in Strasbourg: private chauffeur VTC, 7 days a week
FJ13 is the VTC alternative to taxis in Strasbourg: mandatory advance booking, flat-rate fare announced before departure, Mercedes E / S / V-Class fleet exclusively, English-speaking chauffeurs trained in institutional protocol. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on fj13.fr.
Why look for an alternative to taxis in Strasbourg
Strasbourg concentrates situations where a traditional taxi ride can prove unsuitable: airport transfers where punctuality is critical, welcoming international delegations, European Parliament sessions with specific access requirements, weddings and events where vehicle quality matters, business travel requiring centralised invoicing.
The expectations of executives, Alsatian companies and international visitors have evolved: a fixed fare announced before departure for budgeting, a professional vehicle known at booking, an English or German-speaking chauffeur available, flight tracking for airport transfers, a compliant invoice with itemised VAT, the ability to assign each ride to a cost centre.
FJ13 was founded in 2019 in Strasbourg to meet these expectations, with a clear VTC positioning (not a taxi). The goal: to offer a professional transport service that is fully bookable and plannable, complementary to the traditional taxi.
