Train, coach or private chauffeur service for Évreux?

Évreux is served by the Évreux-Normandie train station, on the Paris Saint-Lazare – Évreux – Serquigny line. Normally, allow 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes from Paris Saint-Lazare. It is a good solution when everything is running smoothly. Trains are frequent, but rural Eure around Évreux has almost no public transport.

Our shuttle steps in when the rail service falls short: strikes, engineering work, cancelled trains, missed connections, night flights, or simply when you are travelling with children, professional equipment or too many suitcases for a train platform. We pick you up at your address, at the time we decide together, and drop you off in Évreux without any changes.

Taxi, VTC or private shuttle in Évreux?

Many travellers search for an “Évreux taxi” when they actually need a price known in advance.

• Évreux Taxi: convenient for a short trip in town, variable price, advance booking rarely guaranteed.
• Évreux VTC (Private Hire): booking for a chosen time, known driver, confirmed vehicle, fixed price.
• Évreux Airport Shuttle: 170 € to Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, 165 € to Orly, 145 € to central Paris in a sedan, tolls and luggage included.

For an early morning departure, a late-night return or an Évreux – Paris trip with suitcases, a private shuttle is often cheaper than a metered taxi, and always less stressful than a train with connections.
