Charles de Gaulle Airport Transfer

Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is France's largest international airport, 25 km northeast of central Paris. With three terminals handling flights from over 170 destinations, it is the arrival point for the majority of international visitors to the city. A private transfer takes the complexity out of that arrival: your driver is waiting, your price is fixed, and your luggage goes straight into the car.

Transfers start from €55, fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.

Transfer time and distance

• Distance to Paris centre: approximately 25 km
• Average transfer time: 45 to 60 minutes, longer during peak hours
• Terminals served: Terminal 1, Terminal 2 (halls 2A to 2G), Terminal 3

Why choose a private transfer from CDG?

• Fixed price, no meter. The quote you see is the price you pay, including tolls and all fees
• Flight monitoring. Your driver tracks the flight and waits up to 60 minutes after you land, at no extra charge
• Meet and greet inside arrivals. Driver waiting with your name, not outside in a car park
• Driver details in advance. Photo, vehicle, plate number and WhatsApp contact sent the day before
• No shared rides. Your vehicle, your group, no strangers

Which terminal will your driver be at?

CDG is really three airports wearing one name. Terminal 1 is the circular original, Terminal 2 is a row of halls lettered 2A through 2G, and Terminal 3 handles mostly low-cost and charter traffic. The free CDGVAL shuttle links them, which is useful to know and better avoided with luggage.

Your booking carries the flight number, so the terminal is derived from it rather than guessed, and the exact meeting point arrives in a message the day before. Confirming your terminal at booking is still worth thirty seconds of your time if you are travelling on a codeshare.

Where do most travellers go from Charles de Gaulle?

• CDG to Paris city centre, all hotels and arrondissements
• CDG to Disneyland Paris, about 35 minutes, the most-booked family route
• CDG to Gare du Nord, for Eurostar and TGV connections
• CDG to Versailles, direct and door to door
• CDG to Reims and the Champagne region, as a long-distance transfer
• CDG to Orly, for passengers connecting between the two Paris airports

What vehicle should you book?

• Sedan, up to 4 passengers, up to 3 bags
• Minivan, up to 8 passengers, the usual choice for families with luggage
• Minibus, up to 15 passengers, for groups travelling together

Pricing is per vehicle rather than per seat, so the comparison to make is one minivan against three taxis, not against three individual fares.

Getting from Charles de Gaulle to Paris

The RER B suburban train links CDG to Gare du Nord and central Paris in about 35 minutes, the Roissybus runs to Opéra, and the free CDGVAL shuttle connects the terminals. Every public option ends at a station, which leaves an onward Metro leg or a taxi to your actual address. A private transfer is door to door in roughly 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, and it runs at hours when the train does not.

Late arrivals and early departures

Transfers operate around the clock, which matters at CDG more than at most airports because of the volume of long-haul flights landing late and departing before dawn. Book for your actual landing time rather than a rounded-up estimate, and the flight tracking handles the rest.

Travelling on from Paris

If Paris is the first stop rather than the only one, the same fixed-price transfers cover France more widely, including Nice and the Riviera and Lyon, with airport pages for Nice Côte d'Azur and Lyon Saint-Exupéry. Booking both ends of an itinerary at once saves rediscovering the same problem in a different city.
