CDG to Paris: Best Transfer Options, Prices and Journey Times
Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is about 27 km north-east of central Paris. Depending on traffic and how you travel, the trip takes 35 minutes to over an hour. This guide covers the options, the real prices of a private transfer to the main destinations, and what to choose if you travel with family or a lot of luggage.
Your three options from CDG
- RER B train to Gare du Nord and central Paris: the cheapest per person, practical with light luggage, but you still have to get from the station to your hotel.
- Official taxi from the rank outside each terminal: a regulated flat fare to Paris, no booking, but queues at busy times and no guaranteed child seat.
- Private transfer booked in advance: a driver waiting for you in arrivals, a fixed price, and drop-off at your exact address.
Not sure which suits you? Our comparison of transfer, taxi and train goes through each case.

Step by step, here is how a pickup at CDG works.
Groups, families and lots of luggage
The prices above are for 2 passengers with 2 bags. For a family, a group or extra luggage, enter the number of passengers and bags on the booking form: you get a vehicle sized for your group, such as a minivan, at a fixed price shown before you confirm. Split between four or more people, a private transfer often costs about the same per person as the train, without the luggage on the platforms.
Traffic and timing
The A1 motorway between CDG and Paris is busy on weekday mornings and evenings. With a fixed price, traffic only affects the time, not what you pay. If you have a train or a meeting to catch after landing, allow extra time at peak hours.
