Why the taxi flat fare is still the best choice

The Paris ↔ CDG flat fare guarantees a fixed price of €56 or €65, regardless of journey time. If you hit traffic, you don't pay more. With 2 or more passengers, it's unbeatable per head (€14-16 per person at 4).

The RER B is cheaper (€13) but means handling suitcases up stairs, possible metro connections, and a real risk of service disruption. For a departing flight, RER uncertainty costs dearly in stress.

Times to avoid for Paris β†’ CDG

The route via the A1 is saturated at several key time slots. For a departing flight, add 30 minutes' buffer at peak times.

  • Monday to Friday 7am-9:30am β€” Porte de la Chapelle congested
  • Friday 4pm-8pm β€” weekend departures + office returns
  • Sunday 5pm-10pm β€” weekend returns + CDG transfers
  • RER B strikes β€” the A1 absorbs the diverted traffic

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Paris ↔ Charles de Gaulle Airport taxi flat fare.

Does the flat fare apply at all hours?

Yes, the Paris ↔ CDG flat fare (€56 right bank, €65 left bank) applies 24/7, with no night, Sunday or public holiday surcharge. That's its main difference from the metered fare, which can rise by 17% under D-rate. For an overnight or Sunday trip, the flat fare is therefore always the more cost-effective option.

Which arrondissements are right bank or left bank?

Right bank (€56 flat fare): arrondissements 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Left bank (€65 flat fare): 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15. If you live right on the border between the two banks (e.g. Notre-Dame on the Île de la CitΓ©), the driver applies the flat fare matching your exact address.

How long does it take to reach CDG?

30 minutes outside peak hours via the A1 motorway over 28-32 km. At peak times (7am-9:30am or 5pm-7:30pm) or on Friday evenings, allow 50 to 75 minutes. For a flight departing at 8am, leave Paris around 5:45-6am. For a 6pm flight, leave at 2pm to avoid the evening peak.

Any possible surcharges on top of the flat fare?

The flat fare covers 1 to 4 passengers and 4 standard suitcases. Possible surcharges: €5.50 for a 5th passenger (van required), €2 per suitcase beyond the 4th, €4 per animal (assistance animals excluded). No surcharge is added for the A1 toll, which is already included in the flat fare.

Does the flat fare apply from the suburbs?

No. The flat fare applies ONLY between central Paris (1st to 20th arrondissement) and CDG. For a pick-up from Boulogne, Neuilly, Levallois or any municipality outside Paris, the trip is metered (C-rate by day, D-rate at night). See our dedicated pages for trips from the suburbs for exact fares.

Do I need to book in advance?

For a pick-up between 4am and 6:30am, advance booking (the night before) is strongly recommended as few taxis are active in the early hours. During the day and evening, 30 to 60 minutes' notice is enough. For a return from CDG, free flight tracking lets the driver adjust their arrival time based on the actual landing time.
