How Much Does a CDG to Paris Transfer Cost? All Options Compared

Getting from Charles de Gaulle airport into central Paris costs anywhere from €2.05 on a local bus to over €100 for a private chauffeur — and the right choice depends on your luggage, your arrival time and where you are staying. Here is every option compared with 2026 prices, including what replaced the Roissybus, which stopped running in March 2026.

The Roissybus is gone — what replaced it?

The dedicated Roissybus between CDG and Opéra stopped running on 1 March 2026 and has no direct replacement to central Paris. Île-de-France Mobilités now points airport passengers to the RER B as the main public link, alongside a new express bus (line 9517) connecting CDG with Saint-Denis-Pleyel, where you can join metro line 14. If a blog or an old guidebook still recommends the Roissybus, it is out of date — plan around the train instead. Our CDG bus guide covers the lines that still operate.

RER B train — €14, the default choice

The RER B runs from stations under Terminal 3 (Roissypôle) and Terminal 2 directly to Gare du Nord, Châtelet–Les Halles and the Left Bank. The Paris Region Aéroports ticket costs €14 (children 4–9: €7), can be loaded on a Navigo Easy card or your phone, and covers onward metro and RER connections for the same journey. Trains run roughly every 6–15 minutes from about 5 a.m. to shortly after midnight; count 25–35 minutes to Gare du Nord. If you hold a weekly or monthly Navigo pass, CDG is already included — no extra ticket needed.

Local buses 350 and 351 — €2.05, the budget route

RATP buses 350 (to Gare de l'Est) and 351 (to Place de la Nation) are ordinary city buses that happen to serve the airport. A standard €2.05 bus ticket covers the whole ride. They take 60–90 minutes and make many stops, but nothing beats the price — and between roughly 12:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. the Noctilien N140 and N143 night buses to Gare de l'Est fill the gap for the same €2.05.

Taxi — fixed €56 or €65, no surprises

Official Paris taxis charge a regulated flat fare: €56 to the Right Bank, €65 to the Left Bank, luggage and up to four passengers included, day or night. Follow the “Taxis” signs to the official rank — never go with a driver who approaches you inside the terminal. Booking through an app or by phone adds €4 (immediate) or €7 (advance reservation). Full details in our CDG taxi guide.

Uber, Bolt and private transfers

Uber works at every CDG terminal with upfront pricing — typically €55–€62 to the centre with UberX, more when demand surges. Bolt and FreeNow are usually a touch cheaper. A pre-booked private transfer costs €70–120, and the driver monitors your flight and waits at arrivals with a name sign — worth it for families, late arrivals or lots of luggage.

Which transfer should you choose?

• Solo traveller, light luggage: RER B — fastest and €14.
• Two or more people going to one address: taxi — €56–65 split between you beats two train tickets plus a metro transfer for comfort.
• Tight budget, no rush: bus 350/351 for €2.05.
• Landing after midnight: taxi rank or Noctilien night bus.
• Family with bags or a hotel far from the RER: private transfer or UberXL.
