In short

A missing treatment, a sample to analyse, a medical device stuck somewhere: we carry medicines, specimens and medical equipment in a dedicated vehicle between laboratories, production sites, hospital pharmacies and clinics across France and Europe, with no transhipment and no waiting for the next flight.

Why a dedicated vehicle for this type of goods

Urgent healthcare transport copes badly with mass logistics: every pass through a hub is a break in the cold chain, an extra delay and a potential point of loss. In a long-distance dedicated vehicle, the parcel stays under the responsibility of a single driver, from the sending site to the receiving department.

We move hospital treatments, blood-derived medicines, clinical trial kits, biological samples, medical imaging spare parts and sterile devices. Insulated packaging (refrigerated box, eutectic packs, temperature logger) is supplied by the sender; we guarantee transport with no opening and no break. The busiest routes link Île-de-France to the pharmaceutical hubs of Lyon, Strasbourg, Basel, Frankfurt and Brussels.

The situations we handle most often

Every job starts from a different emergency. These are the cases that come up most in this field.

Missing treatment in a hospital pharmacy

Stock-out on a life-saving treatment: we collect the supply from another hospital pharmacy or the depositary and deliver straight to the department.

Clinical trials and investigator kits

Movement of kits, samples and protocol documents between sponsor, CRO and investigator centres in France and Europe.

Specimens and biological samples

Fast transport to a specialist analysis laboratory, with UN3373 triple packaging supplied by the sender.

Imaging and operating theatre parts

MRI, CT scanner, surgical robot, operating table: a circuit board delivered overnight avoids cancelling the next day's theatre list.

Custom devices and implants

Prostheses, printed cutting guides, dental implants: delivered to theatre at the exact time of the procedure.

Inter-site industrial supply

Urgent shuttles between pharmaceutical plants, contract manufacturers and distribution platforms, in France, Germany, Switzerland or Belgium.

Frequently asked questions — Pharma & medical

Answers to the questions our clients ask before entrusting us with a job.

What is urgent pharmaceutical transport?
It is the delivery, in a dedicated vehicle, of a healthcare product that cannot wait for normal logistics: a missing hospital treatment, a specimen to analyse, a medical imaging part, a clinical trial kit. The parcel stays under one driver's responsibility, in its insulated packaging, never opened or transhipped. Departure within 30 to 60 minutes to anywhere in France and Europe.
Do you carry temperature-controlled parcels?
Yes. We carry parcels packed in insulated or refrigerated boxes supplied by the sender (eutectic packs, dry ice in permitted quantities, temperature logger). The vehicle is air-conditioned and the parcel is never opened or transhipped, which preserves thermal stability over the whole distance.
Are you GDP certified?
We are a prefecture-licensed taxi service, not a GDP-certified pharmaceutical wholesaler. We therefore operate as dedicated transport on behalf of a sender who remains responsible for packaging and paperwork. For a regular GDP-regulated flow we draw up specifications with your quality manager.
How long from Paris to Lyon or Marseille?
About 5 h 20 of driving to Lyon and 8 h 50 to Marseille, departing within the hour. Over these distances a dedicated vehicle leaving at 20:00 delivers before departments open the next morning.
Do you accept human biological samples?
Yes, under compliant UN3373 packaging (triple packaging, absorbent, marking) prepared by the sending laboratory. We do not carry out the packing or the regulatory labelling.
Do you carry controlled drugs on secure prescription?
Yes, with a valid prescription and the pharmacy's docket. The parcel stays sealed, in the driver's custody, and is handed over only to the named person or department, with time-stamped photo proof.
What if the receiving department is closed on arrival?
The driver calls you before arriving to confirm the handover point. If nobody is there, they wait per your instructions (prefecture hourly rate), hand over to the on-call service or return with the parcel. Nothing is left without an identified recipient.
Do you run to Switzerland and Germany?
Yes: Basel, Geneva, Zurich, Frankfurt, Cologne and Munich are regular destinations. For Switzerland (outside the EU) the customs paperwork must accompany the shipment; we present it at the border post.
What does an urgent long-distance medical transport cost?
The price follows the taxi kilometre rate of €2.63/km: roughly €1,292 for Strasbourg, €1,227 for Lyon and €1,315 for Basel one way from Île-de-France. The calculator gives the exact estimate for your route.
Do you provide proof of delivery usable for quality records?
Yes: time stamp, GPS location, photo of the parcel handed over and the name of the recipient, sent by WhatsApp or e-mail as soon as it is delivered. These can be attached to your traceability file.
Can you chain several collection or delivery points?
Yes, one job can serve several sites (two hospitals, a laboratory then a clinic). Give us the addresses when you request the quote: each extra stop is included in the kilometre calculation.
Do you work with hospitals under public contracts?
We invoice against a purchase order with a contract or commitment reference, by bank transfer and with no deposit. Grouped monthly invoicing is possible for establishments that use us regularly.
What if nobody can receive it on arrival?
The driver calls you before arriving. Depending on your instruction, they wait on site at the prefecture hourly rate, hand the goods to a person you designate, leave them at a secure reception or return with them. Nothing is ever left without your approval, and the return trip is only invoiced if it takes place.
Do you also run the route the other way?
Yes, all our routes are operated in both directions at the same kilometre rate. We collect in the French regions or in Europe and deliver in Île-de-France, in particular to the Roissy CDG cargo areas, La Défense and Paris head offices. Just give us the collection address: only the distance actually driven counts.

What a taxi carries — and what it does not

We are a prefecture-licensed taxi service, not a freight company. Saying so plainly saves you a pointless call, and saves us accepting a job we could not honour.

✅ What we take

  • Documents, original deeds, data media
  • Parcels and cases that can be handled without lifting equipment
  • Flight cases, trunks, garment bags on hangers, jewellery boxes
  • Suitcases and luggage — up to six to eight pieces
  • Sealed insulated boxes supplied by the sender
  • Parts and cartons up to about 1.80 m long

❌ What belongs with a carrier

  • Full pallets and shrink-wrapped goods
  • Machines, engines, bulky furniture
  • Anything requiring a tail lift, pallet truck or forklift
  • Dangerous goods falling under ADR
  • House moves, even partial ones
  • Shipments requiring a goods transport licence

If your need falls outside this scope we tell you on the first call and point you to a suitable carrier. A taxi that costs you half a day is not doing you a favour.

An urgent delivery to arrange right now?

One call is enough to start the job. We drive 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anywhere in France and Europe — no transfer of goods, no sorting hub, no deposit.
