Distance: 30 kmTypical driving time: 45-60 min
Charles de Gaulle is about 30 kilometres north-east of central Paris. The drive normally takes 45 to 60 minutes on the A1 and the boulevard périphérique, and closer to 75 minutes if you land in the weekday morning peak, when traffic backs up from Porte de la Chapelle.
Paris is unusual among European capitals in that the taxi fare from the airport is regulated. Since 1 February 2026 a licensed Paris taxi charges a flat €56 to the Right Bank and €65 to the Left Bank, luggage and tolls included, at any hour. Those are good prices and we will not pretend otherwise. What they do not include is a driver waiting for you at the gate: you join the rank outside the terminal and take whichever car is next, which on a busy evening can mean thirty or forty minutes in line.
A pre-booked private transfer buys certainty rather than a lower number. Your driver knows the flight, knows the terminal, and is already inside the building holding a sign when you walk out. The price is agreed before you travel and does not change if the périphérique is closed or the A1 is at a standstill. For a family with a stroller, a business traveller with an early meeting, or anyone arriving after midnight, that predictability is usually what matters.
We serve every arrondissement, plus the inner suburbs: Neuilly, Levallois, Boulogne, Saint-Denis, Montreuil and the business district at La Défense. Hotels, apartments and station forecourts all work. If your accommodation is on a pedestrian street in the Marais or Montmartre, the driver drops you at the nearest legal stopping point and helps with the bags for the last few metres.
The van is the option families and small groups tend to overlook. Four adults with four large cases do not fit in a standard sedan, and splitting across two taxis costs more than one van. Our van carries up to seven passengers with seven bags for a single fixed price.
The driver meets you in the arrivals hall at the exit for your terminal: Exit 32 at Terminal 1, Exit 6 for 2A and Exit 14 for 2C, Exit 6 for 2B and 2D, Exit 8 for 2E, Exit 10 for 2F, and the main arrivals exit at Terminals 2G and 3. Your confirmation carries the driver's mobile number in case your terminal changes on arrival.
We would rather you booked with the full picture. Here is what else is available on this route and what each option really costs you.
| Option | Price | Time | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regulated Paris taxi from the rank | €56 to the Right Bank, €65 to the Left Bank, 24/7 | 45-60 minutes once you are in a car | A genuinely fair regulated price that includes luggage and tolls. The cost is the queue: no one is waiting for you, and at peak arrival times the rank can take half an hour. |
| RER B train to Gare du Nord or Châtelet | Single ticket, fare set by Île-de-France Mobilités | 35-50 minutes plus the walk and an onward metro | The cheapest way into Paris by a wide margin. Against it: stairs, crowded carriages, no guaranteed luggage space, and a metro change at the far end that is hard work with large cases. |
Our fixed price starts at €85 for a business sedan and €95 for a van of up to seven passengers, tolls and luggage included. A licensed Paris taxi from the rank charges the regulated flat rate of €56 to the Right Bank or €65 to the Left Bank.
Usually 45 to 60 minutes for the 30 kilometres. Expect 70 to 80 minutes if you land between 7.30 and 9.30 on a weekday morning, and a little less than 45 minutes for a drop-off in the northern arrondissements late at night.
It depends on what you value. The regulated flat rate is a good price, but you queue for it. A pre-booked car means your driver is already at the terminal with your name on a sign, holds the price whatever the traffic does, and waits an hour free if your flight is late.
The one your flight arrives at. We track the flight number, so a last-minute terminal change is handled before you land. Meeting points are Exit 32 at Terminal 1, Exit 6 or 14 in the 2A-2D area, Exit 8 and Exit 10 for 2E and 2F, and the main exit at 2G and Terminal 3.
Yes. Neuilly, Levallois, Boulogne-Billancourt, Saint-Denis, Montreuil and La Défense are all part of the normal Paris transfer. Give the full address when you book and we confirm the fixed price for that destination.
