Latest update · v10.18.0

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

New: G7 is now available in Bordeaux From this summer, book your G7 in Bordeaux and the surrounding area. Whether you’re getting around the city center, traveling from the train station or the airport, or heading to some of the region’s most iconic destinations such as Cap Ferret, Dune du Pilat, or Lacanau, G7 is with you for every journey.

Recurring themes

Payment Issues negative
A pervasive problem where users report credit card payments failing, especially with 3D Secure verification, leading to inability to book rides. Many mention trying multiple cards or being forced to use competitors like Uber. Some also report double charges or charges for cancelled rides.R3R11R13R14
Overcharging/Pricing negative
Many users report being charged significantly more than the estimated price or the taxi meter, with no clear explanation. Concerns include hidden fees, automatic default tips, and charges for services not rendered or for driver errors.R16R17R29R40
Driver/Service Quality positive
Despite app issues, many users praise the G7 drivers for being professional, courteous, punctual, and helpful, especially for airport transfers and travelers with special needs. Cars are often described as clean.R1R2R6R7
App Functionality mixed
While some find the app easy to use, many report issues like incorrect addresses, drivers not seeing passenger counts, lack of real-time tracking, vague ETAs, and occasional crashes. The app's language support is also a concern for non-French speakers.R5R21R22R28

Who it's for

This app is for travelers in Paris who prioritize reliable, professional taxi service and are willing to navigate potential app payment issues or prefer to pay cash. It's particularly useful for those needing scheduled airport transfers or specialized vehicles R18R90. It is not for users who expect transparent, fixed pricing, seamless credit card payments, or advanced app features like real-time tracking R67.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, primarily due to persistent payment issues and overcharging concerns. This contrasts sharply with the high lifetime rating, suggesting a recent decline in app quality or user experience, particularly around payment processing and pricing transparency. The developer's notes mention expansion to Bordeaux but do not address any of the widespread technical or billing issues reported.

Frequently asked

Does the G7 TAXI app accept all credit cards?
No, the G7 TAXI app frequently has issues accepting various credit cards, including US Visas and Mastercards, often due to 3D Secure verification failures R11R13R19. Some users report success with specific cards like American Airlines Citibank MC R4 or Mastercard over Visa R12, but many are unable to process payments through the app .
Are the prices in the G7 TAXI app accurate?
No, many users report that the estimated prices in the G7 TAXI app are not accurate, with final charges often significantly higher than both the initial estimate and the taxi meter R16R29. Some users were charged double the meter rate or up to 100% more than the estimate R29, leading to accusations of overcharging and scams R44.
Can I see the taxi's route and estimated time of arrival (ETA) in the G7 TAXI app?
No, several users note that the G7 TAXI app does not show the in-progress journey with the end destination or provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA), unlike other ride-hailing apps R64R67R74. This lack of real-time tracking can lead to uncertainty about the driver's location or the route taken R53R66.
Does the G7 TAXI app include tipping?
Yes, the G7 TAXI app has a default tip amount, often set to €5, which will be added to every ride unless manually changed to €0 in the settings R100. This automatic tipping is not always clearly communicated during booking and can contribute to unexpected higher charges R85R100.

  1. [R6] 5/5 · US Substantial Service: We used the service a few times while in Paris and we were blown away with their professionalism. We scheduled the night before for a pickup for our flight out the next morning early and they arrived a few minutes early! The gentleman loaded our bags with more care than we would load ourselves. He also confirmed the gate for us as we don’t live in France, and he also gave us
  2. [R7] 5/5 · US Great ride: Our ride from Montmartre to CDG was easy and comfortable. Our driver arrived several minutes early. He spoke English and was very friendly. The ride was quick 35 minutes and extremely safe. Using the app is super easy.
  3. [R12] 5/5 · US Fast, Safe, Awesome!: Booked a 6 am ride to Charles de Gaulle. Driver arrived a few minutes early, loaded my bags for me, and I arrived happy and calm for my international flight. I did have to use a Mastercard instead of my Visa as there was a verification error that kept popping up with the Visa.
  4. [R80] 5/5 · US Easy to use: Ordered a taxi the night before heading out of Paris for 6:00 am pickup the next morning. Simple to use the app and our driver arrived a few minutes early. Very friendly and helpful.
  5. [R2] 5/5 · US Good service terrible traffic: The trip probably took at least 20 minutes longer than normal as traffic was terrible. Driver was very gracious . First time using service in Paris. Driver was great
  6. [R10] 5/5 · US Great ride!: Booked on app. Driver on time. He also helped us to find the proper address for the Air bnb as interrupter with owner.
  7. [R18] 5/5 · US Amazing!: This app made traveling to Paris with a disabled senior so EASY. It was easy to book exactly what we needed and vehicles were always available, even wheelchair vans. Drivers were excellent in service and help.
  8. [R48] 5/5 · US Easy to use, great app: I downloaded this app and used it right away, very straightforward and easy to use, reliable, I highly recommend it.
  9. [R59] 5/5 · US Easy peasy: This app made our stay in Paris so much better
  10. [R81] 5/5 · US Great app!: This is a great car hire service for tourists. Easy to navigate and seamless way to handle transactions and save ride history in France. Merci G7!
  11. [R90] 5/5 · US Very helpful with kids: We traveled with 2 kids that needed car seats. G7 was extremely easy to use and book a car in advance. The only worry was no confirmation of a specific car until 11 minutes before our trip. Now that I know they will do that, I can be more at ease. They booked a great driver for us that was very helpful.
  12. [R11] 1/5 · US Registered and validated payment but could not use: As so many others have reported, the payment system would not work when I went to actually make a booking. This despite even having international travel cards (Revolut and Wise), not just my regular US CC. Registering went fine, it validated my Revolut card (even had to go to Revolut to approve this), but then when I went to make a booking, I cou
  13. [R13] 1/5 · US 3D security fails: As other reviewers have recently mentioned, I also had two different credit cards fail with a message to call my bank. When I checked with my bank, I was told that the 3 digit security code was incorrect but I had entered it correctly for each card. Ended up having to use Uber. Would have much preferred to have used a cab. Hope this glitch is fixed soon
  14. [R14] 1/5 · US 3D Secure verification failed: The app used to work perfectly last year. Now it consistently shows a “3D Secure verification failed” error, and it appears this problem has not been fixed for over a year.
  15. [R19] 1/5 · US Doesn't work with my VISA: Doesn't work with my VISA. Payment always fails.
  16. [R16] 2/5 · US On time but overcharged: I created an account with G7 to arrange travel from Paris on Monge street. The driver was on time which I was very happy about and he drove safely. The problem was that the meter in the cab read 72 euros, but my account was charged 89. Euros. This does not seem fair.
  17. [R17] 1/5 · US Over charged by driver: Driver didn’t start the trip properly and I am over charged to my card
  18. [R29] 1/5 · US Out of our control: The G7 ride is not manageable. We cannot follow the paths the driver takes. The estimated cost is not accurate, I ended up paying 100% more than estimated by booking. From 30 euros to 60 euros - with no explanation. The driver does what he wants only - does not care about the costumer. First time using the app - super disappointed!
  19. [R44] 1/5 · US Worst experience: First time using and was charged 36 euros for a 15 min ride. Do t use this service if you’re trying to get around Paris. It’s a total scam!
  20. [R5] 4/5 · US Chauffeur could not find my adress: He could not be nicer but kept insisting I meet him somewhere else. I told him I always am picked up rue d’Arcole as the gps gives away to get there even with construction. De Bary Voyages
  21. [R22] 1/5 · US The app keeps changing my address!!: Whenever I schedule a car the pick up address for some reason automatically switches to a different street. It’s done this four times in a row.
  22. [R28] 1/5 · US Très décevant: J’ai commandé un G7 par avance pour être sure d’avoir un taxi à une heure précise. Mes 2 premiers essais ont été très décevant. J’ai attendu 10 minutes la première fois, 20 minutes la deuxième. Impossible de communiquer directement avec le chauffeur qui vient vers moi par téléphone ou par text sans passer par la commande centrale. Le premier taxi ne pouvais pas trouver mon adresse o
  23. [R34] 2/5 · US Taxi rarely stops where it’s supposed to. Not happy with this service.: Not happy
  24. [R30] 3/5 · US Changement d’horaire: Manque de clarté lorsque l’on change d’horaire il devrait être parfaitement précisé qu’une prise d’empreinte carte sera faite. Car si on doit changer 3 fois… apparaît sur le compte 3 débits…en attente c’est trop imprécis et porte à suspicion.
  25. [R60] 1/5 · US Do not use this app: Be prepared for higher hidden costs if you use this app. A typical 13euro ride in Uber or bolt comes to 30euros in this app. They have charges for approaching vehicle, accommodating charges (even if you don’t need help etc).
  26. [R85] 3/5 · US Les pourboires sont pas évident avec l’app: Sur l’app les pourboires sont pas simple
  27. [R99] 1/5 · US New Users Beware: Pay special attention to the Estimated Price! The title is bright white on the left and then the amount is almost greyed out on the far right. BUT below the title they have a column of cars with some other, much smaller, cost in the same white font as “estimated price” so you think you're getting a bargain. I’m new to using taxis… I’ll just stick to the Metro.
  28. [R3] 1/5 · US Scam: Driver asked me to take another cab, and app apparently cancelled and charged me full fair.
  29. [R26] 1/5 · US Steals money: No taxi came to pick me up for an hour so I cancelled and I’m still charged 25 euros… this feels scammy
  30. [R27] 1/5 · US They will charge you twice. Beware: I ordered and XL van that could fit 4 pieces of large luggage. I also put it in the notes a had 4 large luggage. They sent me a tiny car that couldn’t fit the luggage and charged me for the ride (even thought THEY made the mistake. I had to hail another cab on my own that would fit my luggage and now I have to pay him as well.
  31. [R52] 1/5 · US Not recommended for 1st timers to CDG: My first time visiting Charles de Gaulle airport, ordered a G7. No instructions on where to wait, asked airport employee, but was in the wrong place. G7 driver texted me he was there. Asked where he was via the app, told him where I was...no responses to my texts. After 10 min, was informed ride was cancelled and was charged 27 euros. Saw. Other G7 app users
  32. [R64] 4/5 · US Great service: Pretty easy to use. Drivers thus far have been very courteous. Very similar to using Uber or Lyft. The only suggestion I have for the app is I wished it showed your in-progress journey with end destination, similar to Uber and Lyft. I found myself wondering if I put in the wrong destination at times. Maybe there is a setting that I don’t have set correctly. Not sure.
  33. [R66] 2/5 · US Use if you must, there are better options: We waited 45 minutes for the car in front of Notre Dame we had ordered even though many available G7 cars came by but we couldn’t use them because we had prepaid for the other car. Our driver claimed he had arrived but we did not see him. There is no way to see your driver’s location and there is no way to share your location with the driver. App has a n
  34. [R67] 4/5 · US Good but not Uber: Does not give trip estimated time of arrival. Does not show the route on the map. Changed my home to a different location and had to cancel a ride.
  35. [R74] 5/5 · US Great - better with a preview: This app is working well. I don’t speak French, so being able to arrange a ride or even just pay is great. Ideally, the app would show the route when putting it in. This way, I would be able to confirm the destination.
  36. [R106] 2/5 · US I got no verification code: I had a question. I’ll be traveling to Paris soon, so I download the app and tried to make an account but I haven’t received the verification code. I have tried to restart my phone and even deleted the app but still nothing. Could you help me with this problem?
  37. [R228] 3/5 · GB Password requirements do not work: Can not register an account. It fails on password stage. The password criteria requesting a special character, however it complains after saying that special characters are not allowed in the password
  38. [R40] 1/5 · US Reg taxi cheaper: No good. Expensive.
  39. [R1] 5/5 · US Do this!: I travel & I recommend this service it worked for me in Paris
  40. [R21] 1/5 · US Some parts only in French: Unless you are fluent in French the app is of limited use. Apple Password is not supported so your password must be written down or memorized. Credit card data is required up front before the app can be used. Not worth the trouble.
  41. [R4] 5/5 · US Best Paris Taxi App: The cars came so much quicker than the ones orders with FreeNow but it does not accept all credit cards. Our American Airlines Citibank MC worked.
  42. [R45] 1/5 · US Rip off and dishonest estimates: Charges to and from CDG are supposed to be flat fee, but this company will give you an estimate and then tack on extra fees, even though you tell them upfront how many people are going and that you’re going to the airport. Obviously you will have bags for this kind of trip. Very dishonest, and I am deleting app and will avoid them at all costs on next trip to Pari
  43. [R53] 1/5 · US GPS constantly wrong: We were in Paris for a week and at least 5 times we had to hunt down the G7 cab because either they were just sitting at the wrong address or the app placed us somewhere else on the map and we did not realize it till the app said they were here and in fact they were not. Then we had to check the map to find the location they were at. Don’t bother trying to call the driver or
  44. [R89] 5/5 · US G7 is awesome!!: Even though my French is a bit weak, the G7 app was so intuitive that I barely needed to copy and paste any of the instructions into Google Translate. I also like that you could set the tip in the app. We used G7 twice during our stay in Paris, and both times it was smooth as silk!
  45. [R100] 3/5 · US Decent app, beware of tip setting: The app works well enough, it’s pretty straightforward. The app does however manage tips in a way that seems a tad dishonest. There is no mention of tipping when booking or finalizing a ride. However, in the settings, there is a “default” tip amount that is set to €5. Unless you change that to €0, the tip will be added to every ride. (Note: tipping 20% is not a
