SNCF strike in Cherbourg: how to reach Paris, the station or the airport

Strike, cancelled or delayed train: leaving Cherbourg anyway

Industrial action, a signal failure, line maintenance or a replacement bus that doesn’t show up: in Cherbourg, the station can find itself blocked overnight. A line terminus: an incident upstream and the train is cancelled, with no fall-back solution in the evening.

We put vehicles into circulation on those days, with a driver, from your address in Cherbourg to the destination of your choice: Paris, a Parisian station still in service, Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, Orly, Beauvais, or another town in Normandy. A call to 06 88 14 67 82 is enough to find out what is still possible in one minute.

How much does it cost from Cherbourg?

The price is for the vehicle, not per person. With four passengers to Paris, this comes to approximately 104 € per person, often less than a last-minute ticket, with no connections and no queues.

Situations we handle most often

• National or local strike: traffic reduced to one train in three, crowded platforms, booking impossible.
• Train cancelled in the morning: you have an appointment, an exam, court, or a board meeting.
• Missed connection: you are stuck at an intermediate station, we will come and pick you up.
• Flight to catch: there are no longer any trains early enough for a 6 a.m. departure.
• School bus or regional line cancelled: nothing serves your area anymore.
• Returning from an evening out: the last train left at 9 p.m., you are still at the table.
• Team travel: five to nine colleagues to be taken to the same place, in a single vehicle.

Urgent booking: how it works

1. Call 06 88 14 67 82 providing the pick-up address in Cherbourg, the destination, and your required arrival time.
2. We confirm in a few minutes the vehicle, the driver, and the firm price.
3. The driver arrives at the specified address; they will call you upon arrival.
4. You pay by card on board or by invoice if your employer is covering the trip.

Tip: as soon as a strike notice is announced, book the day before. The 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. slots go first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a vehicle on the day in Cherbourg?

Yes, subject to availability. On strike days, call as early as possible: demand far exceeds supply between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Does the price increase on strike days?

No. We apply the same price list as on a normal day, with the usual night and public holiday surcharges, announced in advance.

Can my employer pay for the trip?

Yes, we issue an invoice in the company’s name, including VAT, payable by bank transfer.

Do you offer carpooling between different travelers?

The vehicle is private. However, nothing stops you from sharing the ride, and therefore the cost, with colleagues or other stranded travelers: this is common on strike days.

Do you drive at night?

Yes, 24/7, including for 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. departures to the airports.
