Gare du Nord, the busiest station in Europe (220 million passengers per year), requires a specific taxi setup. Three distinct halls share one building: the Eurostar Hall on the first floor (entry after passport control - requires 30 minutes advance arrival before departure), and the Grandes Lignes Hall on the ground floor for TGV Inoui and Intercites to Lille, Arras, Dunkerque.

For Eurostar, border checks and luggage scanning average 15 to 20 minutes. To London, Brussels, Amsterdam or Cologne, the taxi-to-train buffer must include this. Our service factors in your operator (Eurostar, TGV Inoui, Intercites) to set the timing and choose the most practical drop-off zone.

Why choose us

Eurostar buffer pre-built

For Eurostar departures, we factor in the 30-minute passport-luggage check: taxi leaves earlier, arrives at the station 35-40 minutes before announced departure.

Right hall drop-off

Depending on your operator (Eurostar 1st floor vs TGV/Intercites ground), we pick the drop-off point to minimise indoor walking.

International arrivals tracking

For Eurostar arrivals (London, Brussels, Amsterdam), we track the train number and adjust for late running or prolonged border control.

Premium service available

Business-class sedan available for Eurostar Premier or Business Premier passengers, on advance booking.

Where to find taxis

Three pickup zones: the main rank on rue de Dunkerque (south exit, Grandes Lignes Hall); the drop-off zone on rue de Maubeuge (west side); and a dedicated Eurostar access on rue de Compiegne (north side). The neighbourhood is busy (shops, restaurants), so we recommend pre-booking to avoid long queues, especially weekdays between 6pm and 8pm.

Access map & taxi stand

The official taxi meeting point is located directly in front of the main hall. Follow the « taxi exit » signs from the platforms.
