Paris Airport Transfer Guide
🇫🇷 Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) — Updated 2026
Paris airports — Charles de Gaulle (CDG, 30 km north-east), Orly (ORY, 15 km south), and Beauvais (BVA, 85 km north) — each have different transfer profiles. CDG is the international long-haul hub; ORY handles short-haul Europe + domestic; BVA is the low-cost carrier (Ryanair) gateway. Pre-booked transfers eliminate Charles de Gaulle taxi-fare confusion (CDG has flat-fare regulations — €56 to Right Bank, €65 to Left Bank, often misquoted by drivers) and BVA's remote location (90 km is too far for sensible Uber pricing). Welcome Pickups + Kiwitaxi both offer pre-booked fixed-fare from €60.

FAQ
Paris taxi flat fare or pre-booked transfer?+
Since 2016, Paris CDG taxis must charge regulated flat fares: €56 to Right Bank, €65 to Left Bank — drivers cannot refuse or negotiate. If you understand the system + speak basic French, flat fare is fair. Pre-booked transfer (€60-95) adds the convenience of name-sign meet-and-greet + flight tracking but is slightly more expensive. For first-time Paris visitors: pre-booked. For experienced visitors: flat fare taxi.
RER B from CDG — is it worth it?+
RER B is €11.45 from CDG to Gare du Nord (35 min) or Châtelet-Les Halles (40 min). For solo travellers with light luggage, going to a hotel near these stations: yes. For groups, families, or anyone with multiple suitcases: pre-booked transfer (€60-95) is competitive once you split it. RER B during peak is also CROWDED with airport workers + commuters.
CDG to Disneyland Paris transfer?+
CDG and Disneyland Paris are both north-east of central Paris — only 30 km apart. Direct transfer €75-110, 30-55 min depending on traffic. Magical Shuttle (the official Disneyland coach) is €23/adult round trip but indirect and slower (60 min one way). For families: pre-booked transfer wins on convenience.
Beauvais (BVA) to central Paris?+
Beauvais is 85 km north of Paris — too far for sensible Uber pricing (€140-180). Options: Beauvais Bus (€16, 75 min to Porte Maillot, the official shuttle, booked online), pre-booked transfer (€110-160, 80-110 min). For solo budget travellers: bus. For groups or speed: transfer.
