Airport shuttle services have developed considerably in recent years in Paris and it is now possible to choose from many operators for transfers between Paris and Roissy de Gaulle CDG, Orly or even Beauvais. The term is most often used to describe passenger cars or mini vans that can accommodate up to 8 passengers. In most cases, you can choose between a private shuttle (just for you) or a shared shuttle (with other travellers). The latter option is the most financially advantageous, as the cost of transport is then shared yet the time of travel is increased significantly.
Book your airport transfer
Passenger car and airport shuttle services are an interesting alternative to traditional taxi cabs, as the fares are fixed and often competitive, particularly for journeys at peak times ... Yet bear in mind that a flat rate also applies between Paris de Gaulle or Orly and city center for taxis. At the end of the day, the difference in price is often not that great.
What is the difference between passenger car service, shuttle and taxi?
Taxi cabs, passenger car services and airport shuttle may seem the same to travellers but they are slightly different one from another : A passenger car is a sedan with a private chauffeur. It usually can accomodate 1 to 6 travellers depending on the size of the car. An airport shuttle is usually a mini-van that can take up to 4 to 8 passengers with luggage, and is mainly used for airport services. So what's the difference with a taxi cab ? Taxis usually charge by the meter, unlike airport shuttle and private chauffeur driven cars, whose prices are fixed according to the journey. But when it comes to airport transfers between Paris de Gaulle or Orly airports and Paris a flat fare applies ! So the main difference lies finally in the fact that taxis are allowed to pick up customers without a reservation, which is not the case of the two others.
