With its three halls spread between the 14th and 15th arrondissements, Gare Montparnasse is one of the most complex Paris stations to navigate by taxi. Hall 1 serves short platforms 1 to 9 (short Atlantic TGV to Le Mans, Rennes), Hall 2 covers long platforms 10 to 24 (long-distance Inoui TGV to Bordeaux, Toulouse, Brest, Nantes), and Hall 3 Pasteur handles Transilien suburban trains on the Vaugirard side. Picking the right hall saves 5 to 8 minutes of walking with luggage.

Our booking service factors in your platform or TGV type to drop you off at the optimal hall. The main taxi rank is on the Vaugirard forecourt, with a coordinated drop-off near the Atlantic halls depending on time of day and crowds.
