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 quoted upfront for budgeting, a vehicle category chosen at booking, an English-speaking chauffeur on request, subject to availability, flight schedule monitoring for airport transfers, a compliant invoice with itemised VAT.
FJ13 was founded in 2019 in Strasbourg to meet these expectations, as a private chauffeur service rather than a taxi. The goal: to offer a professional transport service that is fully bookable and plannable, complementary to the traditional taxi.
