Taxis are an excellent way of getting to the start of the GR20: they’re fairly easy to find, and you can share the journey with other hikers you’ve met beforehand on the Internet. In fact, there’s a discussion area on our forum where you can find other people arriving in Corsica on the same day as you and share taxi fares! Here we introduce you to the taxis and shuttles that can pick you up and drop you off just a few hundred metres from the GR20 trail!

* Prices are given as an indication and do not necessarily reflect reality, depending on the taxi company, which will take into account various criteria that we cannot measure: it is up to you to contact the taxis below to ask for prices. Fares vary depending on the day/weekend, the time of day or night and, of course, the distance travelled by the taxi, around €2.5 per kilometre
