Essential French Transportation: Navigate with Ease: How to ask for a taxi and give an address in French
To ask for a taxi in French, a common polite phrase is:
- “Je voudrais un taxi, s’il vous plaît.” (I would like a taxi, please.)
If calling a taxi service or asking someone to call a taxi for you, you can say:
- “Est-ce que vous pouvez m’appeler un taxi, s’il vous plaît ?” (Could you call me a taxi, please?)
To give an address to the taxi driver, you can say:
- “Pouvez-vous m’emmener à cette adresse, s’il vous plaît ?” (Could you take me to this address, please?)
- Or more simply: “À cette adresse, s’il vous plaît.” (To this address, please.)
If you want to explicitly state the address, just mention the address after these phrases.
Example:
Je voudrais un taxi, s’il vous plaît. Pouvez-vous m’emmener à 10 rue de Rivoli, Paris, s’il vous plaît?
This way you politely request a taxi and provide the address to the driver or dispatcher.
