Skip the taxi queue at Gare du Nord
Gare du Nord is the busiest railway station in Europe. Eurostar from London, Brussels and Amsterdam, TGV from Lille, regional trains, RER B and D: every time a train pulls in, hundreds of travellers head for the taxi rank at once.
With a pre-booked taxi, there is no queue and no tout to deal with in the hall. Your driver knows your train number, follows its actual arrival time and waits for you at the meeting point given in your confirmation. The price is set before you travel, from €52, and does not change, even in heavy traffic on the ring road or the A1 motorway.

Where is the taxi rank at Gare du Nord?
The official taxi rank is in front of the station, on the Rue de Dunkerque side. Follow the blue "Taxis" signs from the main hall.
Off the Eurostar, turn right in the hall and leave through the side exit: the taxi queue is just outside. From the RER B or D, take the escalators up to the main-line level, then follow the same signs. At peak times and when a full Eurostar arrives, the wait is often over 20 minutes.
With a booking, your driver tells you the most convenient meeting point. With the meet & greet option, he comes to meet you holding a sign with your name. All the details, including the scams to avoid, are on our Gare du Nord taxi rank page.
| Taxi from the rank | Pre-booked taxi | |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting | Often 20+ min at peak times | Driver already there |
| Price | Metered, known on arrival | Fixed, known before you go |
| Traffic jams | The meter keeps running | No extra charge |
| Late train | You queue when you arrive | The driver tracks your train |
| Luggage, children | Whatever car comes next | Sedan or van chosen in advance |
Gare du Nord taxi 24/7
First Eurostar of the morning, last TGV from Lille, Sunday evening return: booking matters most when taxis are hardest to find.
- Late arrivals: when several trains arrive together, the queue grows while the metro runs less often. Your driver is already booked.
- Early departures: the first Eurostars leave around 7am. Book the day before so a car is outside your hotel at the right time.
- Airports at night: to CDG and Orly, the Eco sedan costs the same at any hour. For rides within Paris and for the van, the evening fare is a little higher, and the calculator shows it before you book.
