What does booking an Abeilles taxi involve?
It is not a question of booking an identified Abeilles taxi (except in special cases: please contact us in advance), but of taking into account a search for an Abeilles taxi 15 to 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time, depending on the pick-up location, the characteristics of the Abeilles taxi requested and the expected traffic conditions.

Is the booking automatic?
Abeilles taxis reserve the right to refuse requests in advance on certain days, at certain times or in certain geographical areas depending on the number of requests already recorded and/or the estimated taxi supply.

In principle, no, but some of our drivers accept pets:
– for a dog: inform the size and weight of the animal
– for a cat: these are generally accepted on condition that they are in a closed box
For any other animal: please consult us in advance
In all cases, please inform us in advance of the presence of the animal.

Special case: a blind person and his guide dog cannot be refused under any circumstances. Taxis are legally obliged to accept them unconditionally and without extra charge.
