Taxi Metz → Saarbrücken
Your Metz → Saarbrücken transfer at €135–€165. 70 km to the Saarland capital.
A taxi between Metz and Saarbrücken (Germany) costs between €135 and €165 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 70 kilometres and a journey time of from 55 to 75 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A320/A4, with ~€3 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €215. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Saarbrücken is the capital of Saarland, Germany's smallest and most Francophile state. This city of 180,000 has a unique history, bounced between France and Germany for centuries — French under Louis XIV, German under Bismarck, French-administered Saar Territory after both world wars, before definitive German attachment in 1957. This dual culture is felt everywhere: Versailles-inspired Baroque architecture (Saarbrücken Castle rebuilt by Friedrich Joachim Stengel), cuisine blending French and German influences, bilingualism in border shops. The Ludwigskirche (Louis Church, 1775), a Stengel Protestant Baroque masterpiece, is considered one of Germany's finest Baroque churches alongside Dresden's Frauenkirche and Hamburg's Michaeliskirche. The St. Johanner Markt is the lively town centre with cafe terraces, breweries and boutiques. Saarbrücken is also a shopping paradise for the French: lower prices on electronics, cosmetics and German beer.
