Taxi Strasbourg → Colmar
Your Strasbourg → Colmar transfer at €145–€175. 75 km via the A35 through Alsatian vineyards.
A taxi between Strasbourg and Colmar costs between €145 and €175 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 75 kilometres and a journey time of from 45 to 65 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A35, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €230. 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.

Colmar is the capital of Alsace wines and one of France's most picturesque towns. Its perfectly preserved old town blends 16th and 17th-century half-timbered houses, flower-lined canals and cobbled lanes. The Petite Venise quarter, with its pastel-fronted fishermen's houses lining the Lauch river, is the town's iconic image. The Unterlinden Museum, housed in a former Dominican convent, contains Grünewald's famous Isenheim Altarpiece, a masterpiece of late Gothic art. Colmar is also renowned for its five distinct Christmas markets, which transform the town into a luminous wonderland from late November to late December, drawing over 2 million visitors. The town is the ideal starting point for exploring the 170 km Alsace Wine Route through the wine villages of Riquewihr, Kaysersberg, Eguisheim and Ribeauvillé. Taxis from Strasbourg are popular with tourists, wine lovers and Christmas market visitors.
