- Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name, and tracks your flight if it is late.

- Vans for 5–7 people and many suitcases are available.
- The price is fixed and paid before you travel.

See prices and book2. Official taxi: fixed price, by law
Between CDG and Paris, official taxis charge a fixed fare set by law: €56 to the Right Bank (Louvre, Champs-Élysées, Opéra, Le Marais) and €65 to the Left Bank (Eiffel Tower, Saint-Germain, Latin Quarter). Same price day and night, no extra for luggage.
Good to know: a standard taxi takes up to 4 passengers, and child seats are not guaranteed.
3. RER B train: cheapest, but not with kids
The RER B runs from CDG to Gare du Nord, Châtelet–Les Halles and Saint-Michel in about 35–40 minutes. The airport ticket costs €14. It is crowded, has stairs and does not run between about midnight and 5 am, so it is not ideal with children, a pushchair or several suitcases.
