Step Off the Train to a Chauffeur Already Waiting
Your chauffeur tracks your service from the south-west, waits beneath the grande halle at Gare d'Austerlitz and takes your luggage as you reach the hall. The Left Bank is minutes away, on a fare fixed before you travel.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
Gare d'Austerlitz is the Left Bank gateway to central and south-western France, and the departure point for most of the country's overnight trains. Arrivals can fall at dawn, after a long journey, with luggage to carry. DBS EXPERIENCE removes that last uncertainty: the chauffeur tracks your train, waits in the concourse with a name board, and drives you on with the fare already agreed.

In Practice
The Director In on the Morning Train
An executive takes an early Intercités from Limoges for a meeting in the 8th. The chauffeur tracks the service, meets the train in the hall, and has the director at the office with time to spare. The car waits and returns for the afternoon train back.
The Concierge and the Overnight Arrival
A palace concierge arranges a transfer for guests reaching Austerlitz on a dawn night train. The chauffeur is in position before the train arrives, luggage is taken from the platform, and the guests are at the hotel for an early check-in, rested rather than rushed.
The Assistant Coordinating a Team
An executive assistant books transfers for a team returning from Toulouse on the same service. One contact manages every car, a V-Class carries the group and luggage together, and an S-Class takes the principal, all on fixed fares confirmed in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does the chauffeur wait at Gare d'Austerlitz?
Your chauffeur waits inside the main concourse, beneath the grande halle and the departure boards, holding a name board so you are found the moment you reach the hall. With your platform and train confirmed in advance, the chauffeur can also move toward the platform exit to meet you as you step off. The car is held nearby on the rue du Marché-aux-Chevaux or boulevard de l'Hôpital side, and luggage is taken from there.
Can you meet an early-morning night-train arrival at Austerlitz?
Yes. Gare d'Austerlitz is the principal departure point for France's overnight Intercités, and most of these services arrive in the early hours. Our reservations desk operates 24/7, and a chauffeur is positioned for a dawn arrival exactly as for a midday one. The train is tracked through the night, so if your service runs ahead or behind schedule the pickup is adjusted accordingly.
Can I book a Gare d'Austerlitz car service at short notice?
Yes. Our desk operates 24/7 with a response time within the hour. A meeting that overruns, a train brought forward or a same-day connection are all handled.

How do you handle luggage and security for an Austerlitz transfer?
Your chauffeur assists with every case from the platform to the car, and the fleet offers generous luggage space, including the Mercedes-Benz V-Class XL for families, teams and heavier loads returning from a regional journey.
