Azur Taxi Grasse

What Azur Taxi Grasse offers English speakers in Grasse

This is a family taxi business in Grasse, running from father to son since 1997, and it holds two affiliations that are worth understanding. It is conventionné CPAM, so medical journeys prescribed by a doctor are covered without you paying up front. It is also affiliated to G7 and partnered with the roadside assistance and repatriation schemes that car insurers use, which means if your vehicle fails on the autoroute and your insurer arranges recovery, this is the sort of taxi that turns up. One reviewer describes exactly that, picked up on an express road after a breakdown truck had handled things badly.

Laurent is the driver named throughout. What he does beyond driving is the interesting part: he delivered a customer's supermarket shopping, made restaurant reservations for a group staying in a villa near Grasse, and had a phone charger in the car that recovered three quarters of a passenger's battery over a thirty-minute run to Cannes station. A couple booked him for their entire wedding night in Grasse, one in the morning through to five, on a quote they thought reasonable. The American visitors staying at that villa describe his English as fantastic and credit him with the best restaurants they found all week, which is a guide's job rather than a driver's.
