Taxi Moto and Taxi Scooter
It may not be for the faint of heart taking a taxi moto or a taxi scooter in Paris, but it will be an experience to say the least. This is a fast growing business with a huge clientele of Parisians wanting to get somewhere fast, especially during rush hour.
If you decide to try one at the airport, you’re allowed up to 30 lbs. of luggage. Orly into Paris will run you about 20 € and Roissy CDG is around 45 €, tax included. If it happens to be raining, no problem, they’ll supply you with a waterproof overcoat to wear so you can arrive at your destination perhaps a little ruffled, but at least dry.
For those ladies who have just had their hair done, I suggest taking a regular taxis; you’ll probably not want to put on the helmet that will be given to you to wear. A built-in microphone which allows you to communicate with your driver makes it a must .
One last thing, if you’ve ever seen how Parisians drive, you’ll want to verify that the motoservice that you’ve selected has the necessary insurance to be able to transport people in case of an accident. Legitimate companies welcome your inquiries about their insurance, so don’t be afraid to ask.
Check out Moto Services which not only gives a list of different companies and their policies, but tells you what type of scooter or bike you will ride.
