Taxis
are only allowed to pick up from taxi ranks ("station de taxi" indicated
by a square sign with "Taxi" in white on a blue background) or you can
hail one in the street (if it is available, that is the "Taxi" sign
on the roof should be fully lit, and the small lights under the sign should be
switched off). The fare depends on the price and on the pick-up and the price
per km. To find out about taxi charges throughout France consult the 'taxis
fare' section of the website Taxis de France.
Check
with the driver before starting if your ride takes you out of town and for transfers
from airports. Normally there are extra fees for baggage, animals or a fourth
person. Note that when called to pick up passengers, taxis add the cost of that
journey to the fare.
Tipping
is customary but completely at your discretion; generally is acceptable that taxi
drivers are tipped 10-15% of the meter fare.
