Cross-border chauffeur from Alsace
FJ13 handles your cross-border journeys from Strasbourg and the Grand Est to Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium. Drivers used to border crossings; vignettes, tolls and formalities are included in a fixed price. Available 24/7, reply within 2 business hours at contact@FJ13.fr.
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 central 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.

Germany: Kehl, Offenburg, Freiburg, Karlsruhe
The German border is just minutes from Strasbourg. Kehl for a short 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 1h45 via the A8, Munich 3h30. Stuttgart is home to automotive headquarters (Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bosch) and the Messe Stuttgart exhibition centre: for a meeting, a trade fair or a flight from Stuttgart (STR) or Frankfurt (FRA), a chauffeur avoids rail connections and station changes. You work during the ride and arrive directly at your terminal.
Switzerland: Basel, Zurich, Bern, Geneva
Basel is 1h15. Zurich is 2h30. Bern is 2h. Geneva is 4h. Our drivers carry the Swiss motorway vignette and know the smoothest border crossings. For regular trips to Basel, we offer recurring rates suited to weekly commutes.

Why choose FJ13 for your cross-border trips
Drivers used to crossing the border
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, tolls: 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.
German- and English-speaking drivers on request
German- or English-speaking drivers are available on request, subject to availability. 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

Yes. The fixed rate communicated at booking includes French motorway tolls, the Swiss vignette, the German Umweltplakette. No surcharge will be billed after the ride.

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 how the chauffeur-on-standby service works. The driver parks nearby during your meeting and remains reachable by phone. Waiting time is included in the rate agreed at booking.
