- Drive time: 30–45 minutes to central Paris, up to 90 minutes at rush hour.
- With a private driver: your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with your name, your flight is tracked and one hour of waiting is included. From €170 per car, fixed in advance.
- Other options: the official taxi rank, ride-hailing apps and the RER B train. The essentials are below.
What your arrival looks like with a private driver
After a long flight, the hardest part of arriving in Paris is often the first hour: the passport line, the bags, the search for a ride. With a private driver, that part is already taken care of.
- Before you fly. Send us your flight number. We track it, so your driver adjusts to your actual landing time, early or late.
- In the arrivals hall. Your driver meets you after baggage claim with a sign showing your name and takes care of your bags.
- No rush at passport control. One hour of waiting after landing is included, so a long line is not a problem.
- In the car. A Mercedes with an English-speaking chauffeur, water on board and child seats free on request. Traveling with children? See our guide to Paris with kids.
- At your door. Straight to your hotel or apartment, with no queues, no apps and no stops.
Prices from CDG to central Paris
| Car | Ideal for | Price per car |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes E-Class | Up to 3 passengers | €170 |
| Mercedes V-Class | Families and groups, up to 7 | €190 |
| Mercedes S-Class | First-class comfort | €270 |
Fixed prices, paid in advance. Flight tracking, meet and greet and one hour of waiting are included. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before.
The price is per car, not per person. For a family of five in a V-Class, that comes to about €38 each, with room for everyone’s luggage in one car.
When a private driver makes the most sense
Other ways into Paris
If you prefer to make your own way, these are the main alternatives.
- Official taxis charge a flat fare of €56 to the Right Bank and €65 to the Left Bank. The ranks are signposted outside arrivals; lines can be long when several long-haul flights land together. Only use the official rank: drivers who approach you inside the terminal are not licensed taxis.
- Ride-hailing apps such as Uber cost roughly €45–150, depending on demand and car type. Pickups are in dedicated zones outside the terminals, so expect a walk with your bags.
- The RER B train costs €14 and takes about 35 minutes to Gare du Nord. There is no luggage space, trains are crowded at peak times and some central stations have long corridors and stairs.
- Buses: the RoissyBus to Opéra stopped running on March 1, 2026. The remaining bus routes involve a change and take an hour or more.
Coming in 2027: the CDG Express train to Gare de l’Est is scheduled to open on March 28, 2027.
Tips from our drivers
- Rush hour is real. On weekdays, 7–9 am and 4–8 pm can double the drive. Plan dinner reservations accordingly.
- Terminal 2 is huge. Its halls are spread out, so allow a few extra minutes to reach the exit.
- Keep WhatsApp on. It works over the airport Wi-Fi and is the easiest way for your driver to reach you.
- Have your hotel address handy, including the arrondissement.
- Going back to CDG? Check your airline’s advice on arrival time (usually two to three hours before an international flight) and leave extra margin in the evening rush.
- Going straight to Disneyland? It is about 45 minutes from CDG by car. See our Disneyland Paris guide.
