Book a taxi to Roissy CDG with complete peace of mind

CDG handles 80 million passengers a year across 3 terminals and 7 sub-zones (T1, T2A to T2G, T3). A poorly signposted terminal, a last-minute gate change or a missed connection can throw your whole day off course. Our service has one purpose: to ensure that as soon as you step off the plane your transfer to Paris is already sorted. Driver in place, name sign ready, price locked in, flight tracking integrated.

Name sign meet & greet and free waiting at CDG

At CDG more than anywhere else, the name sign is a game changer: you find your driver in seconds, even amid the Terminal 2E crowds.

Your driver waits for you by name at the exit of your terminal

A sign bearing your name is held at the official meeting point of your arrival terminal (T1, T2A, T2B, T2C, T2D, T2E, T2F or T3). No need to search: you walk through the arrivals exit, you see your name, you get in.

Free waiting if the flight is delayed. Long-haul flight pushed back, longer customs queues than expected, baggage to be collected in zone 2G: the driver stays in place without charging a minute. The flight number recorded at booking is monitored in real time using airport data.

  • Name sign held at the official meeting zone
  • Complimentary waiting in case of flight delay (no time cap)
  • Luggage assistance as soon as you exit the terminal
  • Direct journey to Paris or suburbs, air-conditioned, peaceful
  • Final fare identical to the one confirmed at booking

💡 Crucial at CDG: specify the exact terminal and sub-zone at booking (e.g. "Terminal 2E door 6", "Terminal 2F exit K", "Terminal 1 level 4 exit 24"). CDG terminals are several hundred metres apart: a wrong meeting point means 20 minutes lost looking for each other. The flight number alone is usually enough for us to identify the correct terminal automatically.

CDG taxi fares — fixed and confirmed in advance

As CDG is 25 km from Paris, taxi fares are structurally higher than for Orly. But they are fixed and never charged on the meter: the price announced is the price paid.

Why a fixed fare is an advantage at CDG. On a Roissy ↔ Paris run, the risk of traffic jams is high (A1, A86, northern ring road). On the meter, you could pay €85 or €95 for a journey that "normally" costs €60. With a fixed fare, we shoulder the traffic risk.

Included: VAT, flight-related waiting, luggage, flight number tracking, name sign. Optional: 6–7 seater van (+ €20), child seat (free), wheelchair accessibility (free).

How long does it take to get from CDG to Paris?

CDG is 23–25 km north-east of Paris. The journey uses the A1 motorway then the ring road or the A3/A86. Here is what to expect depending on your time slot.

🕐 Peak hours

60 – 90 min

7am–10am and 5pm–8pm. The A1 is the busiest motorway in Île-de-France. Allow an extra quarter of an hour if you arrive on a Thursday or Friday evening, or following a major event (Stade de France).

🕑 Off-peak

45 – 75 min

10am–5pm, quiet weekends. Smooth journey via the A1 then the ring road or Porte de la Chapelle. The most predictable time slot. Ideal for business meetings with a tight schedule.

🌙 Night

40 – 50 min

10pm–6am. A1 clear, ring road flowing. Perfect for long-haul flights arriving early in the morning. Advance booking is strongly recommended: fewer taxis are available between 1am and 4am.

⚠️ What lengthens a CDG ↔ Paris journey

  • Accidents or roadworks on the A1, A3, A86 or northern ring road
  • Match at the Stade de France or concert at La Défense Arena: allow 30 minutes extra
  • Trade fairs at Villepinte (Parc des Expositions): local congestion, A1 saturated
  • Summer Friday evenings and pre-bank-holiday departures: massive outflows to the regions
  • Distant arrondissements (13th, 14th, 15th): add 15–20 minutes
  • Snow or ice in winter: the A1 is particularly exposed — allow extra time

Family CDG taxi — child seats, boosters, vans

CDG is the hub for long-haul family travel. A nap on board, suitable seats and comfortable luggage space: tell us your needs at booking and we prepare the vehicle.

How to spot an official CDG taxi (and avoid touts)

CDG is the airport where unlicensed taxi touts are most active. Here is how not to fall into the trap, and where the real drivers go.

✓ Signs of a real Parisian taxi

  • Black-and-white chequer on the sides
  • Illuminated roof bar with the letter T
  • Licence number on the front door
  • Approved meter visible (or fixed fare displayed)
  • Driver's professional card on display
  • Receipt issued at the end of the journey with VAT detail

⚠️ Signs of an unlicensed tout

  • Someone soliciting in the hall, at the baggage carousel or near the toilets
  • No chequer pattern, unmarked car (often a poorly maintained black saloon)
  • Fare negotiated verbally (real drivers have a fixed fare or a meter)
  • "Special rate" often quoted at €80–120 for Paris
  • Payment requested up front or cash only
  • Psychological pressure: "come quickly, I have a client"

📍 Official ranks at CDG by terminal

TerminalLocationAccess
Terminal 1Level 4 (arrivals)Exit 24, rank opposite the hall
Terminal 2A & 2CArrivals levelRank at each main exit
Terminal 2B & 2DArrivals levelRank at the exit on the A1 side
Terminal 2E (long-haul)Arrivals levelDoor 6, follow "Taxis"
Terminal 2F (Schengen)Arrivals levelMain exit, rank on the right
Terminal 3 (low-cost)Arrivals levelSingle exit, rank opposite the hall

⚠️ Simple rule at CDG: do not follow anyone in the hall

Anyone touting inside the terminal is a runner for an illegal taxi. Licensed taxis are not allowed to offer fares inside the building. Go to the ranks marked "Taxis" outside — or book in advance so that a professional driver can meet you by name.

📋 Documents the driver can produce on request

  • Driver's professional card (CPC) with photo and number
  • Passenger transport insurance currently in force
  • Vehicle registration document
  • Valid MOT (less than 2 years old)

A reputable driver shows them without hesitation. If they refuse, head to the official rank or call 09 80 80 04 62: we will guide you live.

Wheelchair-accessible CDG taxi — reduced mobility

CDG offers complete reduced-mobility logistics. Our adapted fleet takes over at the terminal exit, without any break in care.

Adapted vehicle and trained driver

For wheelchair users or passengers with reduced mobility, we provide a vehicle with an access ramp (motorised or manual), secure anchor points and space for a companion.

  • Motorised or manual access ramp
  • Secure wheelchair fixing (4 points)
  • Room for a companion + luggage
  • Driver trained in mobility assistance
  • Help boarding, alighting and transferring
  • Available 24/7, including bank holidays

📞 Guaranteed booking: call 09 80 80 04 62 at least 24 hours in advance. State the type of wheelchair (manual, electric, dimensions) and the arrival terminal. Same fare as the standard CDG taxi rate.

For an exact fare based on your precise address, use our quote form: reply in under 5 minutes.

Where are the official taxi ranks at CDG?

At the arrivals exit of each terminal:

  • Terminal 1: level 4, exit 24
  • Terminal 2A to 2D: each hall has its own rank
  • Terminal 2E (long-haul): door 6, arrivals level
  • Terminal 2F (Schengen): main exit, on the right
  • Terminal 3 (low-cost): single hall exit

The queues are marked with the Parisian taxi logo. Never follow anyone soliciting in the hall: they are unlicensed touts.

How long does a CDG ↔ Paris journey take?

Depending on the time and destination:

  • Peak hours (7am–10am, 5pm–8pm): 60 to 90 minutes
  • Off-peak (10am–5pm): 45 to 75 minutes
  • Night (10pm–6am): 40 to 50 minutes

The route uses the A1 then the ring road or the A86. Allow an extra 15 to 20 minutes for the southern Paris arrondissements (13th, 14th, 15th).

Are CDG taxis available 24 hours a day?

Yes, the official ranks operate 24/7, including bank holidays. As CDG is an international hub with flights through the night (Asia flights landing at 5am, USA flights at 6am, and so on), taxi service never stops.

An advance booking is still preferable for arrivals between 11pm and 5am: a driver is positioned nearby, ready to pick you up as soon as you come out. It avoids the wait at the official rank after a long-haul flight.

How do I avoid taxi scams at Roissy?

Four rules:

  1. Never follow anyone offering a taxi inside the terminal, in the baggage hall or near the toilets
  2. Only use the official ranks marked outside the building
  3. Check the black-and-white chequer, the illuminated roof bar and the licence number on the door
  4. Ask for a receipt at the end of the journey: essential proof in case of dispute

The most effective approach remains booking in advance: a professional driver meets you by name with a sign, so you know exactly who you are dealing with.

Can I book a CDG taxi in advance with a name sign?

Yes, via our online form or by phone on 09 80 80 04 62. Please specify:

  • The flight number (for automatic delay tracking)
  • The exact terminal and sub-zone (2A, 2E, 2F, 3, etc.)
  • The scheduled landing time
  • The number of passengers and bags

The driver waits with a sign bearing your name at the official meeting point. Free waiting if your flight is delayed. No deposit required.

Do CDG taxis provide child seats?

Yes, at no extra cost. Please indicate at booking the age and weight of each child. We provide:

  • Infant seat (0–13 kg) approved ECE R44/04 or i-Size
  • Child seat (9–18 kg) with 5-point harness
  • Booster seat (15–36 kg) with backrest

Book 24 hours in advance to secure the equipment. The fare remains the standard CDG taxi rate.

Is the CDG taxi wheelchair accessible?

Yes. Our fleet includes wheelchair-accessible vehicles with an access ramp, secure fixing and space for a companion. The driver is trained in mobility assistance.

Same fare as standard, no accessibility surcharge. Booking must be made at least 24 hours in advance on 09 80 80 04 62, stating the type of wheelchair and the arrival terminal.

Which CDG terminal is most convenient for taxis?

Terminal 2 (sub-zones 2A to 2F) has the highest flight density and is therefore best served by licensed taxis — shorter waiting times. 2E and 2F are the smoothest zones for long-haul arrivals.

Terminal 1 (European flights, Star Alliance hub) and Terminal 3 (low-cost carriers such as Pegasus, easyJet) see less traffic but the ranks are always active. For 2E ↔ 2F connections, use the CDGVAL shuttle rather than a taxi.

How much luggage fits in a taxi to CDG?

A standard saloon takes 4 passengers + 4 hold suitcases + 4 cabin bags. For families or long-haul flights with lots of luggage, a 6 or 7 seater van is available on request (flat supplement of around €20).

Indicate at booking the exact number of suitcases and any bulky items (pushchair, car seats, skis, instruments): we match the vehicle so there are no nasty surprises when it comes to loading.
