Taxi Metz → Thionville
Your Metz → Thionville transfer at €60–€70. 30 km via the A31.
A taxi between Metz and Thionville costs between €60 and €70 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 30 kilometres and a journey time of from 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A31, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €95. 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.

Thionville is a dynamic town in northern Moselle, Lorraine's third-largest conurbation, at the heart of the Three Borders Country (France, Luxembourg, Germany). The town is intimately linked to Lorraine's steelmaking history — the Uckange blast furnaces (U4, preserved as an industrial monument illuminated by artist Claude Lévêque) and converted industrial sites attest to this past. The historic centre revolves around the Belfry (14th century), a listed monument, and the Tour aux Puces, a medieval keep housing the town museum with Gallo-Roman and Merovingian collections. The Moselle riverbanks offer a pleasant walk. Thionville is also a major rail hub for the approximately 100,000 French cross-border workers commuting to Luxembourg — Thionville station is one of France's busiest for cross-border traffic. The town sits midway between Metz and Luxembourg.
