Just landed at Charles-de-Gaulle Airport (CDG) and wondering the best way to get to Paris? Whether you're travelling light or with a family and luggage, the options vary widely in price, comfort and convenience. Here's an honest comparison.
Your Options from CDG Airport
The RER B Train
The direct train between CDG and Paris (Nord/Châtelet-Les Halles) is the cheapest option at around €11.80. It runs frequently and takes 35–50 minutes. Drawbacks: it can be crowded, doesn't serve Terminal 2G directly, and is subject to regular disruptions.
Paris Taxis
Since 2016, Paris taxis charge fixed regulated fares from CDG: €56 to the Right Bank, €65 to the Left Bank. A reliable option — but waiting times at the taxi rank can be long, and vehicles may be limited in luggage space for larger groups.
Shared Shuttles
Shuttle services like Le Bus Direct or Roissy Bus connect CDG to several Paris stops for €17–18 per person. Budget-friendly, but expect 60–90 minutes of travel with multiple stops.
Why Choose a Private Chauffeur for Your CDG Transfer?
A private chauffeur transfer is the ideal combination of comfort, punctuality and personalised service — especially for business travel, family trips or late/early flights:
- Fixed price before booking — no surprises regardless of traffic.
- Real-time flight tracking — your chauffeur adjusts automatically if your flight is delayed.
- Meet & greet at arrivals — your driver waits with a name sign at the baggage hall exit.
- Spacious premium vehicle — Mercedes van or saloon, up to 7 passengers and all your luggage.
- Available 24/7 — early morning and late night flights covered.

Terminal 2E: What to Expect on Arrival
Terminal 2E is used primarily by Air France and its SkyTeam partners. After collecting your luggage, head to the arrivals hall (Hall 2) where your Paris Prestige Drive chauffeur will be waiting with a sign bearing your name. Your exact meeting point is confirmed by SMS and email a few hours before your flight.
For flights arriving at Terminal 2A, 2C or 2G, pick-up follows the same process — we adapt to your terminal based on your booking details.
