Strasbourg taxi number: how to book a taxi (and chauffeur alternative)
In Strasbourg, you can book a taxi by phone via local dispatch centres, take one directly at official ranks (TGV station, place Kléber, hospitals) or hail one in the street. For a planned trip, FJ13 offers a private chauffeur alternative bookable online 24/7, by phone at +33 3 74 47 26 67 or via WhatsApp, with a fixed price quoted upfront.
How to book a taxi in Strasbourg
Three main ways to get a taxi in Strasbourg:
1. Calling a dispatch centre. Bas-Rhin taxi dispatch centres centralise orders and send the closest available taxi. Typical waiting time is 5 to 15 minutes off-peak, but can exceed 30 to 45 minutes on Friday and Saturday evenings, during Christmas markets or European Parliament sessions. The dispatcher generally asks for pickup address, destination, name and phone number.
2. Taxi rank. Strasbourg has several official taxi ranks: central station (TGV station, arrivals side), place Kléber (Galeries Lafayette access), place de la République, civil hospital, NHC Hautepierre, place de la Cathédrale (south side), place de l'Étoile. Ranks operate 24/7 but availability varies. Off-peak you may wait, at peak hours the queue grows.
3. Hailing in the street. You can hail a passing taxi if it shows the "free" light (green on the roof or on the dashboard). Taxis with passengers show red or off. This method remains random outside major streets (avenue de la Marseillaise, rue du Maréchal Foch, avenue des Vosges).
Taxi dispatch centres and ranks in Strasbourg
Strasbourg's main taxi dispatch centres have 24/7 switchboards. To get an up-to-date number, check local yellow pages, the Strasbourg tourist office, the city dispatch app or ask your hotel reception. Numbers can change due to merger or closure, which is why we avoid listing a specific one here.
Main physical ranks:
- Strasbourg central station (main exit, place de la Gare side)
- Place Kléber (rue des Grandes Arcades side)
- Place de la République (Palais du Rhin side)
- Civil hospital (main entrance)
- NHC Hautepierre (emergency entrance)
- Place de la Cathédrale (south side)
- Place de l'Étoile
- Strasbourg-Entzheim airport (arrivals zone exit)
Note: FJ13 chauffeurs are not authorised to wait at these ranks (reserved for taxis with municipal ADS licence). For FJ13, pickup happens at the meeting point agreed at booking.

For a planned trip, FJ13 offers a private chauffeur alternative bookable at any time, without depending on dispatch centre availability. Four available channels:

Unlike a taxi call, FJ13 gives you a fixed price quoted upfront, and you choose the vehicle category in advance (sedan, business sedan or van). The vehicle is assigned subject to availability within the chosen category.
Emergency: need immediate transport in Strasbourg
If you need immediate transport in Strasbourg without a prior booking, the taxi remains the most immediate option:
- Go to the nearest taxi rank (TGV station, place Kléber, hospital)
- Hail a passing taxi (green light)
- Call a Bas-Rhin taxi dispatch centre
FJ13 still remains an option for a last-minute ride: a late booking may be accepted, subject to availability. The fixed fare is quoted upfront.
medical emergency, do not call a taxi or a chauffeur: dial 15 (SAMU) or 112 (European emergency number) which will dispatch an ambulance.
unplanned business trips (missed flight, rescheduled meeting, urgent transfer), FJ13 offers a 24/7 urgent chauffeur service, subject to availability: FJ13 urgent chauffeur.

Frequently asked questions
What is the number to call a taxi in Strasbourg?
Several taxi dispatch centres operate in Strasbourg with 24/7 switchboards. Numbers can change (mergers, closures), so it is best to check local yellow pages, the tourist office or ask your hotel reception for the up-to-date number. FJ13 does not give a specific taxi number to avoid sharing an obsolete contact. For a chauffeur alternative bookable immediately, call FJ13 at +33 3 74 47 26 67.
How long do you have to wait for a taxi in Strasbourg?
Waiting time depends on the time and day. Off-peak (morning and midday), a taxi generally arrives in 5 to 15 minutes. At peak times (Friday and Saturday evenings, Christmas market, European Parliament sessions), the wait can reach 30 to 45 minutes or more. At main ranks (station, place Kléber), there is generally a taxi available immediately, but not always. FJ13 confirms the slot at booking.
Can you book a taxi via app in Strasbourg?
Some taxi dispatch centres offer a mobile app to book, track and pay. Coverage varies by company and is not universal. FJ13 does not offer a dedicated app to date, but the FJ13.fr booking form is mobile-optimised: instant fixed-fare estimate, email confirmation. WhatsApp is also available.
Is there a taxi rank at Strasbourg-Entzheim airport?
Yes. The Strasbourg-Entzheim airport taxi rank is at the arrivals zone exit. Generally, taxis wait at each flight arrival. To be sure of the slot and the price, pre-booking an FJ13 chauffeur before the trip is more reliable, especially on late flights or certain low-traffic days when taxis do not always position themselves at the airport.
How do I book a taxi for the next morning in Strasbourg?
Taxi dispatch centres accept advance bookings for the next day (early morning airport transfers, specific trips). The fare remains calculated by meter on the day. For a morning slot and a fixed price, FJ13 is more suitable: booking the day before (or several days in advance), fixed price quoted upfront, confirmation by email. Direct link: FJ13.fr.
How much does a call to a taxi dispatch centre cost?
Calls to taxi dispatch centres are generally free or charged at local rate from a landline. From mobile, the cost depends on your plan. The dispatch centre does not charge the call but the taxi will charge the ride by meter. FJ13 charges no booking or quote fee: the ride price is fixed and quoted upfront.
