Parisian Taxis: Taxis are free when their sign reads “libre”. The best place to find a taxi is outside a metro station and at a taxi stand. Your taxi fare depends on the time of day and how much luggage you have. You start at 5.20€, and during the day (7 a.m. – 7 p.m.) you pay 1 € per kilometer. From 7 p.m. – 7 a.m. you pay 1.20€ per kilometer. Heavy suitcases that are put in the trunk cost from 1€ to 1.50€ each. If you call a taxi, you are charged from the point where the driver begins his trip to get you. You should tip your driver 10 – 15%.
