Paris Gare du Nord Taxi — Fixed Price, Before or After Your Eurostar
Gare du Nord is Europe's busiest train station — the London Eurostar terminal, plus Thalys to Brussels, Amsterdam and Cologne. It's an impressive but often crowded place, and dragging suitcases to the metro is nobody's idea of fun. Allo Taxi Premium drops you off or picks you up right outside the station, fixed price confirmed before you travel.

Catching a Eurostar: how much time to allow
Eurostar check-in and platform access close 30 minutes before departure, and you still need to go through security and passport control. We recommend arriving at Gare du Nord 60 to 75 minutes before your train, and booking your pickup accordingly depending on where you are staying.
Our fixed price to Gare du Nord from anywhere in central Paris is €39 in a standard car, €59 in a VIP sedan and €75 in a 7-seat van, tolls and luggage help included.
Arriving from London, Brussels or Amsterdam
Gare du Nord is Europe's busiest railway station. Give us your train number: the driver follows your arrival, waits for you with a name sign and walks you to the car — much easier than the taxi queue outside the station at rush hour.
Connecting to a flight? Gare du Nord to CDG is a fixed €65 in a standard car, with flight tracking on your departure.
Where will the driver drop us for the Eurostar terminal?
Ask for Gare du Nord, Eurostar departure when booking, and the driver drops you as close as possible to the international terminal entrance. The Eurostar terminal is upstairs, on the rue de Dunkerque side of the station, not on the main-line concourse.
London departures involve check-in, a security scan and passport control before the platform, which closes 30 minutes before departure. For a train to Brussels, Amsterdam or Cologne, arriving 30 to 45 minutes ahead is usually enough.
Why take a taxi rather than the metro to Gare du Nord?
Because Gare du Nord is Europe's busiest station, with more than 200 million passengers a year. On top of the international trains, it handles regional trains to Hauts-de-France and RER lines B and D, and its forecourt and drop-off area are congested for much of the day.
A taxi takes you from your door to the station entrance, so you never cross the crowded hall or a metro connection with suitcases. For the first Eurostar of the morning, when the metro has barely started, it is often the only reliable option.
How are Gare du Nord fares calculated?
From anywhere in central Paris, the fare to Gare du Nord is €39 in a classic car, €59 in a VIP sedan and €75 in a 7-seat van. These are reference fares, tolls included; from the near suburbs the fare is quoted according to distance.
The exact price is confirmed when you book, depending on time, demand and availability, and a night surcharge may apply. It can then be adjusted for waiting beyond 15 minutes, an added stop, a changed route or exceptional traffic.
Changing stations: Gare du Nord to Gare de Lyon, Gare de l'Est or Montparnasse
Gare de l'Est is only about ten minutes on foot from Gare du Nord, but with heavy bags a short taxi ride is easier. Gare de Lyon, for TGV trains to Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Switzerland, is 15 to 30 minutes away by taxi, and the transfer costs €39 in a classic car.
For a tight connection between a Eurostar and a TGV, give us both train numbers: the driver follows your arrival and you avoid crossing Paris by metro with your luggage.
Gare de l'Est also has its own trains to eastern France and Germany, so travellers arriving from London and continuing to Strasbourg or Frankfurt often only need the short hop between the two stations. Allow a comfortable margin either way, as the forecourts of both stations are busy for much of the day.
Going on to Disneyland, Beauvais or Orly from Gare du Nord?
Yes. Many families arriving from London continue straight to Disneyland Paris: €90 in a classic car, €115 in a VIP sedan or €140 in a 7-seat van, for a 40 to 55 minute drive. A transfer to Beauvais airport costs €179 in a classic car, and to Orly €49.
The driver meets you at the station exit agreed at booking, with a sign showing your name, and helps carry your luggage to the car.
Arriving from London with children: what should you book?
Book a car with child seats fitted before pickup: infant carrier, group 1 seat or booster, all free on request. Tell us the age of each child so the right seat is installed.
A family of five or more, or four with large suitcases and a pushchair, will be more comfortable in the 7-seat van, which costs €75 from Gare du Nord to an address in central Paris and takes 4 to 6 large suitcases plus hand luggage.

Book online in English, or by phone or WhatsApp on +33 7 69 31 87 78, 24/7. Enter your pickup address, Gare du Nord as the destination (or the reverse for an arrival), the date and time and your train number.
