Direct transport Germany – France
The Germany–France lane is one of Europe's key trade corridors. CityFreight runs this route as a dedicated direct transport: your vehicle is loaded once and travels straight to the consignee – no transhipment, no groupage stops, no detours – with GPS tracking across the entire journey.
From a Sprinter van for urgent part loads to an articulated truck with 33 pallet spaces, we select the vehicle that matches your consignment. You receive a fixed price and a realistic delivery date up front – no surprises, no hidden surcharges.
Germany–France is one of Europe's highest-volume axes: automotive supply, mechanical engineering, wine and fine foods, and consumer goods flow in both directions. The main corridors run via Saarbrücken/Metz toward Paris and along the Upper Rhine near Strasbourg toward Lyon and the south. On the French side, most motorways are toll roads (péage), which is factored into the fixed price. Deliveries to the Île-de-France region and the large central warehouses typically involve fixed dock time windows, which a direct run can hit predictably.
How long does a direct transport from Germany to France take?
On the Berlin–Paris lane (approx. 1.050 km), pure driving time is approx. 1.5 driving days. As a direct run without transhipment, your shipment arrives considerably faster than by groupage – with a two-driver crew running non-stop on request.
How much does a direct transport Germany–France cost?
The price depends on vehicle size, timing and availability on the corridor. We quote you a binding fixed price up front – with no hidden surcharges. Simply request a quote with your key shipment details.

Everything from a Sprinter van (up to approx. 1.2 t) and 7.5-tonne trucks to an articulated truck with 33 pallet spaces. For sensitive goods we can run with lashing systems, a load-securing certificate and live GPS tracking on request.
