Need a chauffeured ride in Paris? With OunaShuttle, you’re free to choose between a licensed Taxi or a Private Chauffeur (VTC) and we’re here to help you decide which suits your needs best.

The Right Choice for Every Journey

At OunaShuttle, we understand that no two trips are alike.

That’s why we give you the freedom to select either a Taxi or a VTC (Private Chauffeur Service), depending on your personal preferences, time constraints, itinerary, or even traffic conditions.

Not sure which option to choose? Whether you're a frequent traveler, a first-time visitor, a business executive, or simply on your way to a romantic getaway, we’ll help you select the most suitable service for your specific situation.

What Is a VTC (Private Driver), and Why Choose It?

A VTC, or Private Chauffeur Service, is a premium solution offering comfort, discretion, and peace of mind.

With a VTC, you book in advance at a fixed rate, with no additional fees for luggage, time of day, or travel delays.

All of our VTC drivers hold professional licenses and operate elegant, fully-maintained vehicles for a refined travel experience.

Choose a VTC if you:

  • Prefer knowing the total cost upfront
  • Appreciate personalized, flexible service (we track your flight or train in case of delay)
  • Want help with your luggage and seamless handling
  • Value discreet and quiet travel
  • Enjoy in-car amenities like Wi-Fi, device chargers, bottled water, candy, and magazines
  • Need hourly or full-day chauffeured service

The VTC experience is tailored, tranquil, and distinctly high-end, ideal for travelers who value calm and control.

What About Taxis?

Taxis in Paris are a regulated form of public transportation. Each taxi driver holds an official license, and their vehicles are marked with a rooftop sign indicating availability.

Taxi fares are calculated using an onboard meter, based on time and distance, and follow pricing structures established by the regional authorities.

Taxis have privileged access to bus and taxi lanes, which can be a major advantage during rush hour or city congestion.

At OunaShuttle, we’ve gone one step further by offering clear and competitive flat-rate packages for taxi rides. No guesswork, no hidden fees. Even better:

  • If the meter shows a higher fare than the flat rate? You pay the flat rate.
  • If the meter shows a lower fare than the flat rate? You pay the lower amount.

Taxis are ideal when:

  • You’re in a hurry or need a last-minute ride
  • You’re traveling during peak traffic hours
  • You have a strict arrival time to meet
  • You’re heading to or from busy city zones

With OunaShuttle, even taxis come with transparency, fairness, and a touch of elegance.

Whether you book a VTC or a Taxi with OunaShuttle, you benefit from our premium standards across the board:

  • Guaranteed reservations, up to 12 months in advance
  • Transparent pricing with no surprises or hidden fees
  • Professional, courteous, and punctual drivers
  • Personalized airport or train station meet & greet
  • Complimentary wait time in case of flight or train delays
  • The same comfort, the same attention to detail, always

Our mission: to make your journey as effortless, pleasant, and serene as possible, so you never have to worry about logistics.
