Quick answers
The questions travellers ask most before landing at CDG, answered in a few lines each. The detail follows below.
An official Paris taxi from the rank costs a flat €56 to the Right Bank or €65 to the Left Bank, for up to 4 passengers, at any hour. A pre-booked private transfer with Global Airport Taxi starts at a fixed €59 per car and is the same for any address.
40–60 minutes on a normal day, and up to 90 at weekday rush hour or on Friday evenings, because the A1 motorway is the bottleneck. Central Paris is 25–35 km from the terminals, depending on the arrondissement.
Outside the arrivals exit of every terminal: gate 24 at Terminal 1, gates 6, 14 and 7 at 2A, 2C and 2D, gate 10 at 2E, gate 11 at 2F, the Blue Gate at 2G, and just outside the arrivals hall at Terminal 3.
In the arrivals hall of your terminal, where your driver waits with a board showing your name. Before you travel we send the driver’s name, mobile number and the exact meeting point for your terminal.
No. The flat fare covers only a direct trip between CDG and an address in Paris. La Défense, Disneyland, Versailles and the Roissy hotels go on the meter. A pre-booked transfer is a fixed price: from €75 to La Défense and €85 to Disneyland Paris.
Anywhere from zero to 40 minutes. It is longest from 06:00 to 09:00 and from 17:00 to 21:00, when long-haul flights land together. Midday is usually quiet, and late at night there can be too few cars.
No extra charge: we track your flight, so a delay simply moves the pickup. After landing, 60 minutes of waiting are included for passport control and baggage reclaim.
It can: since 10 April 2026 non-EU arrivals are enrolled biometrically on their first entry, which adds time at border control. Your driver tracks your landing, and the 60 free minutes absorb the queue.
CDG at a glance
Distances and times are typical and change with traffic. Flat fares are the 2026 official maximums for a direct trip between CDG and Paris.
Why book
A pre-booked car swaps the rank queue for a driver who is already waiting, at a price you know before you fly.
Agreed at booking and printed on your confirmation. Traffic on the A1, a diverted landing or a longer route is our problem, not a line on your bill.
A name board in the arrivals hall matters most when you are least able to solve problems: late, tired and in a language you may not speak.
Villepinte, Disneyland, La Défense, Reims, Brussels. The regulated fare stops at the Paris boundary. Our prices do not.
Every driver is licensed, insured and vetted before joining the network, and is rated after every trip. Drivers speak English and French, with Spanish and Arabic available.
A phone line and WhatsApp with a real person on the other end, in the hours when a chatbot is no help at all.
Cancel up to 24 hours before the pickup at no cost. Late cancellations and no-shows follow the terms of your booking.
The conditions behind each promise, including cancellation, waiting time and child seats, are in our terms. Read what passengers say on our reviews page.

Excellent service...arrived at terminal and driver was waiting...helped with luggage to the car...smooth drive...perfect overall
Very reliable and easy to get a hold of. I was very confused leaving the airport - user error haha - and they were super helpful. My flight was also delayed and the guy who picked me up was on top of it.
Super affordable and professional service! The pricing was very clear from the start, with no hidden charges, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and the professionalism of the global airport taxi service stood out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a hassle-free and budget-friendly option.
Amazing taxi service to the airport! Our driver was friendly, on time, and made the whole trip so easy. The car was clean and comfortable, and we got to the airport right on time. Would definitely use this service again!
Excellent service , driver waited for us as flight was delayed, clean car and smooth ride
I would totally recommend Global Airport Taxi to anyone needing a taxi service for their airport commute. I decided on way to the airport that I was flying out of that I will need a cab service at LHR. They were quick to respond to and accommodated some of my last minute schedule change requests after I had landed at LHR. Totally reliable and willing to be flexible. Outstanding customer support provided by Jennifer and Root. Keep it up guys !!
This was a brilliant service our driver was excellent he was friendly and helpful. Used again for the return journey and driver was professional and ensured we made it to the airport on time with heavy traffic
The service was extremely reliable. My cab arrived exactly on time for my early morning flight, which was a huge relief. Everything went smoothly, and I felt confident choosing this service. Highly recommend global airport taxi for stress-free airport transfers!
Amazing customer service, on time driver helped with cases. A pleasant experience Thank you
Very clean car and on time very polite driver will use them again

How it works
It takes a few minutes to book. Here is what happens next.
It is the field that matters most. We follow the real landing time, so a two-hour delay out of Dubai or an early arrival from New York changes nothing for you.
Before pickup you receive the driver’s name, mobile number and the exact meeting point for your terminal. Keep your phone on when you switch off flight mode.
Passport control and baggage at 2E can take an hour on a bad day, and that hour is already covered. If you are held longer, message the driver and we keep them there wherever we can.
Pay online in advance, or by card or cash on the day. A VAT receipt is emailed to you, which is what most expense systems ask for.

Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, parking, luggage, the low-emission zone and waiting time are already inside the number, and night, weekend and public-holiday journeys cost the same.

Official taxi fares
Whether you need a taxi from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to a hotel in the city or to a destination outside it, two price systems run side by side, and most confusion comes from mixing them up.
Licensed Paris taxis from the rank charge a flat fare set each year by the French state, but only for a direct trip between the airport and an address inside Paris itself. It applies in both directions, day and night, weekends and holidays included, and luggage is included.
Private transfers like ours quote one fixed price per car for any address at all. That matters because a large share of CDG arrivals are not going to central Paris.
| Journey | 2026 flat fare | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Charles de Gaulle ⇄ Paris Right Bank | €56 | 1st–4th, 8th–12th and 16th–20th arrondissements |
| Charles de Gaulle ⇄ Paris Left Bank | €65 | 5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th and 15th arrondissements |
| Orly ⇄ Paris Right Bank | €45 | North of the Seine |
| Orly ⇄ Paris Left Bank | €36 | South of the Seine: the cheap side at Orly, the dear side at CDG |
| Where you are going | Official taxi flat fare | Our fixed price from | The difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Right Bank (1–4, 8–12, 16–20) | €56 | €59 | You pay about €3 more and get a driver already waiting, a price that cannot move and no queue |
| Left Bank (5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15) | €65 | €59 | Our fixed price starts about €6 lower than the flat fare |
Our price is the starting price for a sedan with up to 3 passengers. The flat fare covers up to four passengers in one taxi, so for four people with large cases compare it with a van, from €89.
Enter a postcode to see which flat fare applies.
North of the river: postcodes 75001–75004, 75008–75012 and 75016–75020. Champs-Élysées, the Louvre, the Marais, Opéra, Montmartre and Bastille. The Île de la Cité, with Notre-Dame on it, is charged at the Right Bank rate.
South of the river: postcodes 75005–75007 and 75013–75015. The Eiffel Tower, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Latin Quarter and Montparnasse feel central, but they are on the dearer side from CDG.
The flat fares are set by the order of 24 December 2025 and are maximums: a driver may offer less, never more. The booking supplement and the fifth-passenger supplement are the only extras allowed, and there is no luggage charge. Outside the Paris city limits, including La Défense, Disneyland, Versailles, Roissy hotels, Saint-Denis and Villepinte, the meter applies and the final figure depends on traffic.
Where in Paris
Most arrivals at Charles de Gaulle are heading for a station, a hotel or a landmark. The official flat fare depends only on which bank of the Seine you are going to, so this table gives the fare for the places visitors ask about most.

Our fixed price is the starting price for a sedan with up to 3 passengers to any Paris address, and a van for 4 to 7 passengers starts at €89. Drive times are the same as to any central address: 40–60 minutes, and up to 90 at weekday rush hour. If your address is in the 16th arrondissement, ask which flat fare applies, because sources differ slightly. Use the checker above for any postcode.
Compared
We sell transfers, so check this against anything else you read. If you land after a long-haul flight with a family and four large cases, the pre-booked car is the calm choice; for one traveller in daylight, the rank is fine too.
In France a taxi parisien can be hailed and queues at the rank. A private-hire driver, known as a VTC, can only carry passengers who booked in advance, and meets you in the arrivals hall instead. Both are legal and insured.
The practical difference is where you find the car and how the price is set. A rank taxi has a regulated flat fare into Paris and a meter outside it. A pre-booked car has one fixed price per vehicle, wherever you are going.
| Option | Price (one way) | Time to central Paris | Best for | Our verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked private transfer Global Airport Taxi | from €59 fixed per car | 40–60 min, up to 90 at peak | Families, groups, late arrivals, anywhere outside Paris, business travel with a receipt | Very reliable A driver tracks your flight and is already waiting. The price is fixed for any address and cannot move with the A1. |
| Official taxi from the rank | €56 or €65 flat into Paris | 40–60 min, up to 90 at peak | A daytime arrival into Paris with light luggage | Reliable Regulated and metered outside Paris. The unknown is the queue: nothing at midday, up to 40 minutes when long-haul flights land together. |
| Uber, Bolt and Heetch | €45–110+ | 40–60 min, plus the pickup wait | App users with a flexible budget | Mixed Sometimes under the flat fare, often over it, and much higher on rainy evenings. Pickups are from dedicated zones, not the terminal door. |
| RER B train | €14 | About 35 min to Gare du Nord | One traveller with a cabin bag | Depends Quick because it avoids the A1, but expect stairs at Gare du Nord, crowded carriages and weekend works. Check the line status before you land. |
| Car hire | from about €40 a day | As a taxi, plus parking | A road trip beyond Paris | Depends Sensible if Paris is only a stop. Inside the city it is a burden: low-emission zone rules, paid parking and hotel garages at €35–50 a night. |
The rank is straightforward: a flat €56 or €65 into Paris, with nothing to work out. The RER B at €14 is the budget alternative if you can manage the stairs at Gare du Nord.
Do the maths on luggage, not seats. A rank taxi takes four passengers but rarely four large cases, so a pre-booked van from €89 is the safer choice for a family off a long-haul flight.
Book ahead. The last RER B leaves around midnight, and a tired family with a trolley is exactly who the unlicensed touts in the arrivals hall are looking for.
Prices are 2026 estimates in euros. Public transport fares are set by Île-de-France Mobilités and change each January. Times vary with traffic and the exact address.
Groups and luggage
The most common booking mistake at CDG is a sedan for four adults off a long-haul flight. Four people fit. Four people and four large suitcases do not.
| Your party | At the rank | Pre-booked | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 passengers, cabin bags | A rank taxi is fine | Sedan, from €59 | No difference in space |
| 3–4 passengers, 3–4 large cases | A single taxi is often too small once the cases are in | Sedan for 3 passengers, or a van from €89 | A van carries 7 large bags |
| 5–7 passengers | Two taxis, two queues, and a €5.50 supplement per extra passenger where a driver agrees | One van from €89, priced per vehicle | The fixed price is the same for 5 or for 7 |
| 8 or more | Not practical from the rank | 8-seater minibus, 16-seater minicoach or a coach, quoted on request | Planned in advance, with one driver contact |
Count each pushchair, golf bag and ski bag as a bag, and tell us at booking. Child seats are free: give us the children’s ages and we fit the right ones before you arrive.
The rank
Charles de Gaulle has one of Europe’s better-regulated taxi systems, and one of its more persistent tout problems. Ninety seconds of reading is enough to tell them apart.
Every terminal has a marshalled rank on the arrivals level, signposted “Taxi”. A marshal gives you the next car: you cannot choose it, and you cannot negotiate the flat fare into Paris.
A licensed Paris taxi has a “TAXI PARISIEN” roof light, a meter and the driver’s licence on show. The roof light is typically green when the car is free and red when it is hired.
Card payment is compulsory in Paris taxis, and you are entitled to a receipt showing the fare charged. A printed receipt is mandatory for fares of €25 or more.
It follows the arrivals board rather than the clock. Waits of 20–40 minutes are routine from 06:00 to 09:00, when the long-haul wave lands at 2E and Terminal 1, and again from 17:00 to 21:00. Midday and after 23:00 are often quiet, though late at night there can be too few cars.
Passengers with reduced mobility and parents with very young children can ask the marshal for priority. Tipping is not expected; rounding up a euro or two for help with heavy bags is normal and optional.
| Terminal | Official taxi rank | Where your driver meets you |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 | Gate 24, arrivals level | Arrivals hall, near the PAUL bakery |
| Terminal 2A | Gate 6 | By the information desk in the arrivals hall |
| Terminal 2C | Gate 14 | Arrivals hall, opposite the car rental desks |
| Terminal 2D | Gate 7 | Arrivals hall, central meeting area |
| Terminal 2E | Gate 10, arrivals level | Arrivals hall, at the exit of your hall: K, L or M |
| Terminal 2F | Gate 11, arrivals level | Arrivals hall, ground level |
| Terminal 2G | Blue Gate | Outside the arrivals doors |
| Terminal 3 | Just outside the arrivals hall exit | Arrivals exit, Roissypôle side |
Rank gates are those published by Paris Aéroport. They occasionally change during works, and the overhead signage always wins. The exact meeting point for your terminal is also in the details we send before you travel.
Terminals
Charles de Gaulle opened in 1974 and handles around 70 million passengers a year. It has three terminals but nine separate buildings, because Terminal 2 is a string of seven halls, 2A to 2G. It behaves less like one airport than three loosely joined ones, and the letter on your boarding pass decides how long everything else takes.
Air France and its SkyTeam partners use Terminal 2E, 2F and 2G, many Star Alliance carriers use Terminal 1, other European and international airlines are spread across 2A to 2D, and charter and some low-cost flights use Terminal 3.

| Short ride to 2G | 2G and the 2E and 2F halls | 2G is reachable only this way: allow about 15 minutes plus waiting. |
Airlines move terminals and halls more often than you would think, and published guides do not always agree, so the table lists only the usual allocations. Check your booking or the Paris Aéroport website on the day, and give us your flight number so your driver knows exactly where to be. Connecting between terminals? Allow at least 90 minutes, and two hours if either flight is outside Schengen, because you will pass border control.
Arriving in 2026
The biggest change to arriving at CDG in years is the EU Entry/Exit System, and it directly affects how long you spend between the aircraft door and your car.
EES has been fully operational across Schengen since 10 April 2026. If you hold a non-EU passport and are visiting for a short stay, your entries and exits are now recorded digitally instead of stamped. The first time you cross, officers take your passport details, a photo and fingerprints, which adds time. The record lasts three years, and later crossings are much quicker.
At peak hours the longest passport queues are at 2E. Allow an extra 30–60 minutes, and give us your flight number so your wait is tracked rather than guessed. Nothing is needed in advance. ETIAS, the separate pre-travel authorisation, is due to follow later: use only the official EU website and ignore sites charging fees for it.
| Stage | Typical | Bad day |
|---|---|---|
| Aircraft door to border control | 10 min | 25 min |
| Border control, EU or already registered | 10 min | 30 min |
| Border control, first EES registration | 25 min | 75 min |
| Baggage reclaim | 20 min | 45 min |
| Customs and walk out | 8 min | 15 min |
| Taxi rank queue (not needed if pre-booked) | 5 min | 40 min |
Timings are typical estimates for a long-haul arrival and vary with the day, the hall and the number of flights landing together.
Changing airports
Paris has three passenger airports and a business airport, and none of them are connected airside. Land at one and leave from another and you are crossing or circling a city of twelve million people. The margin you leave decides whether that is a calm afternoon or a missed flight.
| Route | By car with us | Leave at least | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDG ⇄ Orly (ORY) | About 47 km: 45–60 min, up to 90 at peak. From €99. | 5 hours between landing and the next departure | Terminal to terminal, with no changes. See our Orly to Charles de Gaulle guide. |
| CDG ⇄ Beauvais (BVA) | 95 km: 80–100 min direct. From €170. | 6 hours, or a hotel night | The low-cost airport is not covered by any flat fare. |
| CDG ⇄ Le Bourget (LBG) | 15 km: 15–25 min. From €45. | 2 hours for a private-jet connection | Also the route to the Paris Air Show and the Musée de l’Air. |
| CDG ⇄ Brussels Airport (BRU) | 300 km: about 3 h 15. Quoted on request. | 6 hours | Cross-border journeys need 24 hours’ notice for documentation. |
If both flights are on one booking, the airline must rebook you when a delay breaks the connection. Booked separately, which is usual when the airports differ, a missed second flight is your problem.
Collect them, clear customs, then check in again from scratch at the second airport. Arriving from outside Schengen means passing border control at CDG first.
Between midnight and 05:00 trains largely stop. A pre-booked car is the one option that does not involve waiting in a terminal until dawn.
Where people go
Central Paris is the obvious answer, but a large share of arrivals at Roissy are heading somewhere the flat fare was never designed to cover.
| Destination | Distance and drive | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Disneyland Paris | 46 km, 40–60 min | A rank taxi leaves the flat-fare zone entirely, so it runs on the meter. A fixed price is usually the better deal. |
| La Défense | 38 km, 45–70 min | The business district sits west of Paris, so the drive crosses the whole metropolitan area. Allow considerably more on a Monday morning. |
| Versailles | 55 km, 60–80 min | Popular as a first stop straight from the airport, with a driver holding the bags while you visit the château. |
| Reims and Champagne | 145 km, about 1 h 45 | A steady request from wine travellers heading to the houses at Épernay and Reims. Day trips with a waiting driver are quoted by the hour. |
| Normandy and the D-Day beaches | Caen and Bayeux, 3 to 3.5 h | Most visitors combine the transfer with a stop at Giverny, roughly halfway. Long-distance transfers are priced per vehicle, so a group of six pays once. |
| Cruise ports and Northern France | Le Havre, Honfleur, Rouen, Lille, Bruges, Brussels | Regular runs from CDG, especially around cruise embarkation dates. Cross-border journeys need 24 hours’ notice for documentation. |
Events calendar
CDG sits beside France’s biggest exhibition venues. Paris Nord Villepinte is eight kilometres from the runways and Le Bourget fifteen. When a major show opens, the airport, the Roissypôle hotels and the taxi ranks all feel it the same morning.
Showing all 7 events
Demand for vans with room for garment bags spikes, and same-day bookings become hard to fill.
In the cityOne of the largest food trade shows in the world. Villepinte hotels sell out months ahead, pushing visitors to Roissypôle and central Paris.
Trade fairDesign and interiors, twice a year. Heavy morning traffic on the A104 between the airport and the halls.
Trade fairConstruction equipment, with oversized freight moving around the venue.
Trade fairRight Bank, far west side. Match-day traffic around Porte d’Auteuil is severe.
In the cityThe world’s largest aerospace show: four trade days, then three public days. Book cars and hotels well ahead, because road access to Le Bourget is tightly managed.
Trade fairRight on the route between CDG and Paris. On event nights the A1 slows badly from early evening.
In the cityRank queues lengthen at 2E and Terminal 1, hotels within ten kilometres fill up, and drop-off points near the venues move behind security perimeters. In those weeks, pre-booking is the only way to be sure of a car.
Dates are set by the organisers, so confirm them before you plan around them.
Layovers
A long connection at CDG does not have to be spent under fluorescent light. The rule of thumb in 2026: you need at least five or six hours on the ground before leaving the airport makes sense, because border control now runs in both directions.
| Place | From CDG | Why go |
|---|---|---|
| Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace | Le Bourget, 15 min | Concorde, a Boeing 747 you can walk through, and the historic 1937 terminal building. The obvious choice for anyone interested in aviation. |
| Basilica of Saint-Denis | 20 min towards Paris | The birthplace of Gothic architecture and the burial place of most French monarchs, and far quieter than anything comparable in the centre. |
| Château d’Écouen | 15 min north | A Renaissance château housing the national museum of the Renaissance, set in parkland, with almost no queues. |
| Chantilly and Senlis | 30–40 min north | A château with a serious art collection, the Great Stables and a medieval town next door. A genuinely good half-day. |
| Parc Astérix | About 20 min | France’s home-grown theme park, closer to CDG than Disneyland and considerably less crowded in shoulder season. |
| Auvers-sur-Oise | 40 min west | Where Van Gogh spent his final months and is buried. The church and wheat fields from the paintings are still there. |
| Aéroville | 10 min from the terminals | A shopping and cinema complex used mostly by crew and airport staff: useful for a short layover or a meal that is not airside food. |
| La Vallée Village | 45 min east | Designer outlet shopping next to Disneyland, and a common combined stop with the park on the same transfer. |
| Central Paris in six hours | 40–60 min | Possible with a driver on hourly hire, quoted on request: Montmartre, a Seine viewpoint and lunch is a realistic loop. |

Questions
Your fixed price is agreed before you fly, and a driver is waiting in the arrivals hall with your name on a board. We follow your flight, so a delay simply moves the pickup, and 60 minutes of waiting after landing are included. Choose the vehicle that fits your party, ask for child seats at no extra cost, and cancel free up to 24 hours before pickup.
