Route Guide
About the Paris CDG to City Centre Transfer
CDG to Paris city centre route overview
Charles de Gaulle Airport lies around 30 km (18.6 miles) north-east of central Paris, and a private car typically completes the journey in 45 to 60 minutes via the A1 or A3 autoroute towards the Peripherique. Traffic into Paris can be heavy on weekday mornings, so drivers use live navigation to choose between the motorway and inner routes through Saint-Denis. Compared with the RER B train, which requires station transfers and stairs with luggage, or the taxi rank queues at Terminal 2, a pre-booked car is calm, direct and completely predictable: your fare is agreed before your flight even departs.
What to expect on the journey
CDG is a sprawling airport with three terminal complexes, and your driver will be positioned at the right one based on your flight number, whether you land at Terminal 1, 2A-2G or 3. Look for your name sign in the arrivals area after baggage reclaim. On the drive in, the industrial northern suburbs give way to Haussmann boulevards as you cross the Peripherique, with the Sacre-Coeur often visible on the approach. Your chauffeur handles the drop-off logistics of narrow central streets and hotel forecourts, delivering you as close to the door as possible.
Meet and greet with live flight tracking
Every CDG pickup includes meet and greet and live flight monitoring. We follow your flight from departure, so a late arrival from London, New York or Dubai simply shifts your pickup time automatically, with free waiting time included after landing. Driver details, including a direct phone number, are sent before you travel, and our multilingual support team is available 24/7. This is especially valuable at CDG, one of Europe's busiest airports, where finding transport on arrival can otherwise be confusing for first-time visitors.
Fixed prices and vehicle options
Private transfers from CDG to the Paris city centre start from €65 and the price is fixed at booking, unaffected by traffic on the A1 or evening demand. Choose an economy saloon for up to three passengers, an executive sedan for business travel, or a van for families and groups of up to eight with luggage. Child seats are available on request, and you can add extra stops, for example dropping companions at a second hotel. Return transfers to CDG can be booked at the same time to lock in the same fixed rate.

Paris CDG to City Centre Transfer Questions
How long does the transfer from CDG to central Paris take?
Usually 45 to 60 minutes to cover the 30 km (18.6 miles) into the city centre. Weekday rush hour can extend this, so your driver tracks traffic and picks the quickest route between the A1, A3 and inner roads.
How much is a taxi from CDG to the Paris city centre?
Fixed private transfer fares start from €65 for a saloon carrying up to three passengers. The price is confirmed at booking with no surcharges for traffic, luggage or normal waiting time.
My flight lands at CDG late at night. Is pickup still available?
Yes, we operate 24/7 at Charles de Gaulle. Night arrivals are met in exactly the same way, with your driver tracking the flight and waiting in arrivals with a name sign, and the fixed fare does not change.
How much luggage can we bring?
A standard saloon takes two large suitcases and two cabin bags. Travelling with more, or as a family or group? Select a van at checkout, which carries up to eight passengers with full luggage.
Can you provide child seats in Paris?
Yes. Request child seats when booking and tell us the children's ages; the correct infant, child or booster seats will be fitted before your driver heads to CDG.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled pickup for a full refund. For later changes, contact our 24/7 support team, who can usually amend the booking to match your new plans.
