Your taxi in Besançon
Capital of French watchmaking and Vauban-fortified city, Besançon is nestled in a loop of the Doubs. Franche-Comté TGV station is outside the city: a taxi is the most convenient way to reach the centre, the Citadel or the Métabief slopes.
Booking a taxi in Besançon means choosing between a metered ride and a fixed price quoted before departure. 110 partner drivers cover the city, for an average wait of 6 min. The most frequent pick-ups are in Centre historique, Battant and Chaprais. The most requested route, Gare TGV — Centre-ville, is offered at €20–€30. The metered fare is not set freely: it follows the department's prefectoral order, which caps the pick-up charge, the price per kilometre and the waiting hour, with a higher rate from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The meter shows the letter of the current rate, which lets you check it. The price booked in advance includes luggage and the driver's approach and does not change in traffic. Card payment can never be refused, and a receipt is issued automatically from twenty-five euros.
