CDG to Paris taxi at a fixed price
Direct transfer between Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and your destination at a fixed fare. Name-sign meet-and-greet in arrivals, flight tracking and luggage handling included.
Getting to or from Roissy-Charles de Gaulle without watching a meter tick up is exactly what a tired arriving passenger, or one facing an early departure, is after. A fixed-price CDG taxi rests on a simple idea: between the airport and central Paris the fare is set by a regulated flat rate, the same for everyone whatever the time of day or the traffic. You know before you get in what you will pay, tolls and luggage included.
This page gathers what you need to plan your transfer between Roissy and the city: how the flat fare works, how a booking unfolds, the advantages of a licensed taxi over the RER B or a shared shuttle, and the real situations where it makes the difference. The aim is that you leave with a clear picture of the service, with no complicated steps when booking and no surprise on arrival.
The CDG ↔ Paris taxi: regulated flat fare and beyond
Between Paris and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, a taxi fare is not up for negotiation: it follows a rate set by decree, the same whatever the driver or the day's crowds. Two amounts apply depending on the bank of the Seine, but the principle holds, the ride is quoted in advance and does not rise in traffic jams. Beyond Paris, towards the suburbs or another department, the trip leaves the flat-fare zone; it then stays at a fixed price, worked out and confirmed by quote based on your address.
- Roissy-CDG lies 25 to 40 km from the centre depending on the district, i.e. 40 to 60 minutes by road.
- The Paris ↔ CDG flat fare covers the whole of inner Paris, luggage included.
- Terminals 1, 2 (halls 2A to 2G) and 3 are all served, on arrival and departure.
- Outside Paris, the fixed price is given before booking, with no meter.
How to book and be picked up
Booking is prepared ahead: you send your flight number, your address and the time you want. For an arrival, the driver tracks the actual landing and adjusts accordingly; a margin is allowed for baggage claim and customs. The meeting point, a name sign in the arrivals area, is confirmed to you before the plane touches down.
- Give the flight number: tracking absorbs a delay with no surcharge.
- State the departure or arrival terminal for an exact meeting point.
- Mention child seats and the number of suitcases when you book.
- For a very early flight, book the day before to secure the driver.
- Check the full address, door code and floor, to avoid any detour.
Two mistakes come up often: booking at the last minute for a dawn departure, when demand is high, and forgetting to mention excess luggage that calls for a bigger vehicle. The flat fare quoted in advance, tolls included, protects your budget; a well-detailed booking protects your schedule.
Taxi, RER B or shuttle: what changes
The RER B links Roissy to the centre for a few euros, but it means carrying your cases through corridors, validating a ticket, sometimes waiting after an incident, then finishing by metro. A shared shuttle serves several addresses before yours. The taxi leaves the terminal and drives you straight to your door, with access to reserved lanes that limits waiting at peak times.
The gap shows most after a long-haul flight or with children: no connection, no luggage to drag, a name-sign welcome and a price known in advance. Split between several passengers, the single flat fare often works out more attractive than it first seems, while giving comfort the train cannot.
When a CDG taxi makes the most sense
- Overnight flight or late connection: the driver waits for the real landing, even after midnight.
- Long-haul departure before 7 a.m.: pick-up timed to your check-in.
- Family back from holiday: proper seats and a boot for every suitcase.
- Business traveller expected on time: flight tracking and drop-off at the exact address.
Between Roissy-CDG and Paris, the taxi brings together a regulated flat fare, flight tracking and a door-to-door ride that ease both arrival and departure. You know the price before getting in, you handle no connection and no luggage, and the driver follows the plane's real time. To arrange your transfer, send your flight, your address and the number of passengers: you receive confirmation and, beyond the Paris flat fare, a fixed-price quote. All that is left is to travel with a clear mind.
