We prefer a van or car service. 

Have you checked the actual CDG website as airports usually have a section on how to  travel to/from the airport.

UBER might be simplest.

They usually offer a choice of X, Van or Luxe

If you don’t want to take the RER into Paris, it’s easy to catch a taxi from the airport. The official/regulated taxis charge a flat fee of EUR 60 to go to the Right Bank and EUR 65 to go to the Left Bank. Look for the taxi line after exiting departures. Don’t accept a taxi from someone who approaches you asking if you want a taxi because they are not the regulated taxis and will charge you a lot.  Go find the official taxi line and pay the fixed rate.  Confirm the rate before you get in the taxi and confirm that they accept credit card (if that’s how you want to pay).

Paris has an excellent taxi company called "G7."  That company has an English speaking phone line and also offers the ability to book taxis online (or via an app).  When we are in a situation where we must have a taxi at a specific time (such as when heading out to CDG for an early flight) we simply book with G7.  Not sure, but I think G7 can also arrange for a larger vehicle (which you might need for 4 persons with luggage).

 

As to the RER, it is similar to a Metro/Subway system.  We use to the RER to/from CDG as long as we do not have too much luggage.  Dragging large pieces through subway/train stations is possible, but not our idea of fun.

Do you recall the rate?

It has been more than 5 years and I have no idea what we paid.  However, you should be able to call or e-mail them and get an approximate price.  G7 is a huge taxi company (in many parts of Europe) and charge normal taxi prices.  I would take an educated guess that from CDG to most Paris hotels would cost about 75 - 80 Euros.  A way to save money, other than using the RER, is to book a shared shuttle (usually done in a large van or mini-bus).  A few years ago we did try a shared shuttle (coming from CDG to the Left Bank) and did not like the experience.  The problem was that we waited at CDG about a half hour (until some other passengers arrived) and, once in Paris, we wasted more time as our van dropped others at their hotels.  These days we are willing to pay more for convenience.
