International
Cross-border chauffeur from Alsace
Strasbourg to Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and beyond. Drivers experienced in international routes, fixed rates, paperwork handled.
Strasbourg is 5 minutes from Germany, 1h15 from Basel, 2h30 from Frankfurt and Zurich. For businesses and individuals in Bas-Rhin, international travel is part of daily life. But finding a driver who knows cross-border routes, German and Swiss tolls, environmental zones and local traffic rules is not always easy. A Parisian chauffeur dropped off in Kehl may not know how to reach downtown Freiburg without GPS.
FJ13 handles cross-border trips from Strasbourg every day. Our drivers cross the border several times a week. They know the German motorways, Swiss tunnels, Luxembourg access roads and the specifics of each country. Vignettes, tolls and permits are handled in advance. You board in Strasbourg and step out at your destination, without worrying about logistics.

The German border is just minutes from Strasbourg. Kehl for a quick meeting, Offenburg for the court or chamber of commerce, Freiburg for a stay in the Black Forest, Karlsruhe for the Federal Court or Baden-Airpark airport. Our drivers carry the Umweltplakette environmental sticker to drive in German low-emission zones.

Frankfurt is 2h30 from Strasbourg via the A5. Stuttgart is 1h45. Munich is 3h30. For a business meeting, a trade fair or an intercontinental flight from Frankfurt FRA, a chauffeur avoids rail connections and station changes. You work during the ride and arrive directly at your terminal.

Why choose FJ13 for your cross-border trips
Drivers who cross the border every day
Our drivers do not discover Germany or Switzerland on the day of your ride. They make cross-border trips several times a week. They know the usual traffic jams at the Kehl bridge at 8 AM, the chronic roadworks on the A5 towards Frankfurt, the queues at the Saint-Louis customs towards Basel. This experience allows them to choose the best route and give you a reliable arrival time.
Vignettes, tolls and formalities included in the fare
German Umweltplakette, Swiss motorway vignette, Gotthard tunnel toll: everything is handled and included in the fixed rate. You will not receive additional charges after the ride. The rate communicated at booking is the final rate.
Multilingual drivers
Our drivers assigned to cross-border rides speak French and German. Most also speak English. For trips to German-speaking Switzerland or Luxembourg, this language skill facilitates communication with your local contacts when needed.
Who this service is designed for
You have regular appointments in Germany
Every week or every month, you cross the Rhine for meetings in Kehl, Offenburg, Karlsruhe or Freiburg. You are tired of looking for parking in German blue zones and losing time in traffic at the Pont de l'Europe. With a chauffeur, you use the travel time to prepare for your meeting.
You are catching a flight from Frankfurt or Zurich
Intercontinental flights rarely leave from Strasbourg. Frankfurt FRA and Zurich offer direct connections to Asia, the Americas and Africa. A chauffeur ride saves you the train to the airport, the station change in Mannheim and the wait for the Flughafen-Express. You leave from home and arrive at your terminal, luggage in hand.
You are hosting foreign partners in Strasbourg
Your clients or partners land at Frankfurt, Basel or Zurich and need to reach Strasbourg. You want them to be greeted at the airport by a professional driver who takes them directly to their hotel or your offices, without having to find a taxi or a train ticket.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need a special licence to go to Germany or Switzerland?
No. French chauffeur services can carry out cross-border rides within the European Union and Switzerland. The vehicle must have the transport documents and the driver must hold a professional card. FJ13 handles all these formalities.
Are tolls and vignettes included in the price?
Yes. The fixed rate communicated at booking includes French motorway tolls, the Swiss vignette, the German Umweltplakette and any paid tunnels. No surcharge will be billed after the ride.
Do you offer same-day round trips to Frankfurt or Zurich?
Yes. For a meeting or a flight, we offer round trips with on-site waiting. The driver drops you off, waits for the agreed duration and brings you back. The rate is fixed and includes waiting time.
How far in advance should I book a cross-border trip?
Ideally 24 to 48 hours for long distances (Frankfurt, Zurich, Luxembourg). For short trips to Kehl, Offenburg or Karlsruhe, same-day booking is often possible subject to availability.
Can the driver wait for me during a meeting in Germany?
Yes, that is the principle of the chauffeur-on-standby service. The driver parks nearby during your meeting and remains reachable by phone. Waiting time is included in the rate agreed at booking.
