Direct transport France – Germany
The France–Germany 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.
France–Germany carries the same strong flow of goods as the opposite direction: wine, fine foods, and consumer goods heading east; machinery, automotive, and chemicals on the return. From Paris the corridor runs via Metz/Saarbrücken, from Lyon and the south via Strasbourg and the Upper Rhine. On the French side, péage tolls must be factored in, and the border region around Strasbourg and the Saarland is dense at peak times. For supplying southern German plants and central warehouses with fixed time windows, the predictable direct run is well suited.
How long does a direct transport from France to Germany take?
On the Paris–Berlin 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 France–Germany 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.
Which vehicles are available on this route?
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.
