Charles de Gaulle Airport Transfer at a Glance
How to Get from Charles de Gaulle Airport
The main ways to travel from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) are a pre-booked private transfer, licensed airport taxi, RER B train and public bus. RER B provides the principal direct rail connection toward Paris. Current bus alternatives include Express 9517 and routes 350 and 351; the former RoissyBus service permanently closed on March 1, 2026. The practical choice depends on destination, luggage, group size and required connections.
Charles de Gaulle Airport Transfer Guide
AirportTransferNow makes it easy to book a private transfer from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) directly to your hotel, residence or other selected destination. Arranging transportation before arrival can be useful at CDG because of the airport’s size, multiple terminals and the wide geographical area covered by onward journeys.
When booking, provide your flight information and complete destination. CDG has Terminals 1, 2 and 3, while Terminal 2 is divided into several halls. Your exact arrival point therefore matters when following pickup instructions.
Destination details are equally important. A central Paris hotel requires a different journey from accommodation elsewhere in Île-de-France or a destination beyond the Paris region.
A private transfer is one option within CDG’s extensive transport network. Travelers can also use official airport taxis, RER B and public buses. RER B is particularly important for passengers traveling toward locations convenient to the Paris rail network.
Pre-booked road transportation may be practical for families, groups, substantial luggage or destinations that would otherwise require multiple public-transport connections.
Pickup at Charles de Gaulle Airport
Confirm whether your flight arrives at Terminal 1, Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 and, for Terminal 2, check the specific hall. CDG is a large airport, so there is no universal private-transfer meeting point that should be assumed for every booking.
After completing immigration where applicable and collecting your luggage, keep your AirportTransferNow confirmation accessible and follow the precise meeting instructions provided for your transfer.
For eligible Meet & Greet bookings, the currently integrated booking service documents meeting at the arrivals-area exit after passport control and baggage claim, using a passenger name sign. It also states that detailed meeting instructions are provided in the booking confirmation.
These booking-specific instructions should take priority over general airport guidance. Do not automatically join an official taxi queue or head toward an RER or bus station when you already have a pre-booked transfer.
Taxi from Charles de Gaulle Airport
Licensed taxis are available at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Travelers should follow airport signs to the official taxi facilities associated with their arrival terminal and avoid accepting unsolicited rides from people approaching passengers inside the terminal.
Paris taxis have a regulated fare system. Journeys between CDG and Paris are notable because official taxi pricing can include fixed airport-to-Paris fares, with the applicable amount depending on whether the Paris destination is on the relevant side of the Seine. This differs from journeys to destinations outside the defined fixed-fare area, where other tariff rules can apply.
Because regulated amounts can be revised, exact figures are deliberately not embedded in this evergreen page. Current official taxi information should be checked when an exact fare is required.
Taxi and private-transfer pickup should not be treated as interchangeable. If you have already booked an AirportTransferNow transfer, follow your confirmation rather than automatically joining the public taxi queue.
Commercial search results frequently publish CDG taxi estimates without adequately distinguishing regulated Paris taxi fares from ride-hailing or pre-booked private-transfer prices; these are separate services with different pricing structures.
Public Transport from Charles de Gaulle Airport
RER B is the principal public-transport rail connection between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris. The airport has two relevant RER stations: Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 serves the Terminal 1/Terminal 3 area, while Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV serves Terminal 2.
Passengers should be careful with older advice recommending RoissyBus. Île-de-France Mobilités permanently discontinued the service on March 1, 2026.
Current alternatives include Express 9517, connecting the airport area at Roissypôle with Saint-Denis Pleyel, where passengers can connect with Metro Line 14 and other rail services. Bus 350 connects the airport with Porte de la Chapelle, while bus 351 provides a connection toward Nation.
RER B can be particularly practical for passengers traveling light and staying near a convenient rail connection. Public buses can suit cost-sensitive travelers with appropriate destinations and sufficient time. Passengers with substantial luggage or destinations requiring several changes may prefer direct road transportation.
Private Transfer vs Taxi and Public Transport
A private transfer booked with AirportTransferNow provides direct road transportation from CDG to the destination entered during booking. It can be practical for families, groups, substantial luggage or addresses requiring several public-transport connections.
Licensed Paris taxis also provide direct transportation without requiring the same type of advance transfer booking. For qualifying CDG-to-Paris journeys, the regulated taxi system uses fixed airport fares, making taxis different from metered journeys outside those defined areas.
RER B is the principal rail alternative. It avoids road congestion during the rail portion of the journey and serves useful central Paris connections, but passengers may need another train, Metro, taxi or walk to reach their final address.
Public buses, including Express 9517, 350 and 351, add lower-cost alternatives but generally involve different routes and potentially more onward travel.
The appropriate choice depends on the final destination, luggage, passenger count, budget, traffic sensitivity and willingness to make connections.
Charles de Gaulle Airport Transfer Prices
Transportation prices from CDG depend on both destination and mode. For a private transfer, the current quote can vary according to the exact destination, selected vehicle category, passenger capacity, luggage requirements and available booking options. Enter CDG and your complete destination in the AirportTransferNow booking interface to see the current live price.
Licensed Paris taxis use regulated pricing, including fixed fares for qualifying journeys between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris. Other taxi journeys can follow different tariff rules.
RER B and buses use public-transport fares. For example, Île-de-France Mobilités currently applies a specific airport ticket to RER B airport journeys, but public-transport prices can change and should be checked before travel.
Ride-hailing and commercial private-car prices may vary independently and should not be confused with the regulated Paris taxi system.
Tips for Your Charles de Gaulle Airport Transfer
Confirm your exact CDG terminal before traveling. This is especially important for Terminal 2 because it contains several separate halls, and meeting or transportation arrangements can differ according to where you arrive.
Enter your complete hotel or destination address when booking rather than simply “Paris.” CDG serves a large metropolitan region, and many passengers continue beyond central Paris.
Keep your AirportTransferNow booking confirmation accessible after baggage collection and follow its meeting instructions before leaving the arrivals area.
Be cautious with older online public-transport guides. RoissyBus permanently stopped operating on March 1, 2026, so pages still recommending it as an active CDG-to-Paris service are outdated. Current public alternatives include RER B, Express 9517 and buses 350 and 351.
For return road transfers, allow additional time for Paris-region traffic and airport processing.
Meet & Greet
Meet & Greet is available with eligible Charles de Gaulle Airport transfer bookings. Where included with your transfer, your driver can meet you with a passenger name sign. Check your AirportTransferNow booking confirmation for the precise meeting point and instructions applicable to your arrival terminal and booked transfer.
About Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is the principal international aviation gateway serving Paris and the wider Île-de-France region. Located northeast of central Paris around Roissy-en-France, the airport is also commonly called Roissy Airport.

Exact destination details matter when arranging a transfer because CDG serves not only central Paris but the entire Paris region and travelers continuing to destinations elsewhere in France.
