jfgdbg Posted August 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2014 What is the cost of a taxi or that type of transportation into the city center of Paris. We are not really interested in taking a train. Or does anyone have information on private car companies in France such as in London to LHR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the Air France Bus which will drop you gnerally at the train stations and other stops and then you can taxi to hotle..probably abotu 20 euro or so pp now.There are shared van bus rides not sure of cost now,but lets say 25 euro pp and then of course taxi(only use the ones at the stands...not the guys as you come out the doors who promise you a great ride in a lux car...you will be taken for a ride as they are gypsy cabs...and will cost now arount 50 to 60 euro for the cab not pp.I have done all 2 and when I fly in I always like to use a cab..well worth the money for me.This is from GDG.I do not know about Orly. There is a thread on this board re transportation intop the city as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stipmom Posted August 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2014 We did the shared transportation last year and would not do it again. Took to long to get to hotel as there were many drop offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true,but sometimes one can luck out. However, one time when I did it this way I got to see a lot of places I never would have...like a tour almost...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfgdbg Posted September 1, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the replies. It sounds like a taxi would be best for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCcruisin07 Posted September 1, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We took a shuttle offered by Viator in Paris. The driver was late; however, he made up for it by stopping at an ATM, so we could get Euros. We also took their shuttle to Orly. You do need to have phone access to confirm your plans the day before. This time the driver was an hour early for another couple, so we had a delay. We had allowed enough time that it wasn't a problem. It was a little spotty, but if you can deal with it, it seems to work out. I think they outsource to Paris Shuttle.

Rare Got2Cruise Posted September 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Are you going to a hotel? Many hotels have contracts with car services. We made arrangements with the hotel via email. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City centre is a big place, so the answer is that "it depends". It also depends on the time of day and how long you have to sit on the Peripherique. I can't remember the amount but it's not outrageous. For your own sanity, you may feel more comfortable taking the RER from CDG to Gare du Nord or Orly to various stations, then taking a taxi from there to your final destination. An airport taxi driver should be able to give you a fixed quotation or reasonable estimate before you commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have pointed out, sometimes the traffic is awful between the airport and the city. I paid close to 100 euros last time, stuck in morning rush hour traffic.

luv2kruz Posted September 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Here are 2 suggestions: http://www.shuttle-inter.com/ http://en.supershuttle.fr/ It depends if you want a shared shuttle or private transfer and how many people. I booked the private transfer for 3 people and 6 bags, arriving CDG at 1 hour apart. Quote: "At the scheduled flight, our representative will be waiting to meet you at the information desk of the terminal 2A with a name board. ( Driver will come for last arriving flight) 2.Rates Total cost will be 55 Euro for 3 passengers (One way from CDG Airport to PARIS Hotel ) Private transfer." Unquote Using a shared shuttle from super shuttle may be less but you may have more stops. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX.Mameow&Papeow Posted September 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Nov. 2013, we got a taxi from the cab stand at CDG to the Brighton Hotel on Rue Rivoli across from the Tuileries Gardens and it was 55euros + tip. On our return to CDG we booked transportation with the hotel and it was 60 or 65euros. Both trips went smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pbears Posted November 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Our experience with Super Shuttle was not good. The instructions as to where to meet the shuttle at CDG were vague and confusing and it took us nearly an hour and two telephone calls to the shuttle service to actually meet up with the driver. On our next visit to Paris we took the RER in to the Notre Dame Metro station and then walked the short distance to our hotel. It was much easier and less stressful. When it comes to returning to the airport we have always had our hotel arrange for car service. That is about the same price as a taxi and has worked well for us.

susietb Posted November 18, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 18, 2014 We took the Roissy Bus which makes three stops in CDG Airport to "opera" right near Galleries Lafayette for 11 Euro per person . The bus leaves every 15 minutes and was very quick. You can then take the metro or a short cab ride to you hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
