Travelling to Paris — whether for a family holiday at Disneyland Paris, a cultural city break, a business trip, or a grand European excursion — always raises the same question at the beginning and end of every journey: how do you get between the airport and your destination comfortably, reliably and at a sensible price? CDG Paris Cab was founded to answer that question for groups. We operate a fleet of immaculate Mercedes-Benz V-Class minivans, driven by professional, licensed, English-speaking drivers, covering all three Paris airports — Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Orly (ORY) and Beauvais-Tillé (BVA) — along with every major destination in Paris and Île-de-France.
Why Choose a Minivan Taxi Over Public Transport?
Paris has excellent public transport — the RER B from CDG to central Paris, the Orlyval shuttle at Orly, and buses from Beauvais are all widely used. But they share a fatal flaw for most travelling groups: they are not designed for travellers with luggage, young children, or more than two companions. The moment you add a pushchair, four suitcases, two children under five and a grandparent to the equation, public transport stops being a convenience and becomes an ordeal.
A private minivan taxi eliminates every one of those pain points. Your vehicle is at the arrivals gate — not three connections and a bus stop away. Your luggage goes in the back, not balanced above your head on a moving train. Your children have space. Your journey is direct. And when you factor in the cost for a group of four or more passengers, the price per person is often comparable to — and sometimes cheaper than — the public transport equivalent, once you count rail tickets, surcharges, and taxi rides from the station.
CDG Paris Cab provides fixed-price minivan transfers for up to 8 passengers. One vehicle, one price, one direct journey from airport arrivals to your hotel or destination. No meters running, no surge pricing, no unpleasant surprises.
CDG Airport Transfers: Charles de Gaulle to Paris
Charles de Gaulle International Airport is the busiest in France, handling over 76 million passengers per year across its three terminal complexes. Terminal 1 serves international long-haul flights; Terminal 2 is the hub for Air France, Transavia, and many European carriers, divided into six sub-terminals (2A through 2G); Terminal 3 handles low-cost carriers. Navigating between these terminals, then connecting to your Paris hotel, is a journey that many first-time visitors underestimate.
CDG Paris Cab operates meet-and-greet arrivals at all CDG terminals. Your driver monitors your flight in real time — if your Transatlantic flight from New York arrives 45 minutes early, or your connection from Dubai is an hour late, your driver already knows. There is no extra waiting charge. You walk out of customs and your driver is there with a sign showing your name. From terminal to destination, your group is moving within minutes.
Popular CDG transfer destinations include: central Paris hotels across all arrondissements, Disneyland Paris (approximately 40 minutes from CDG), the Palace of Versailles (approximately 55 minutes), Orly Airport (cross-airport transfer for connecting passengers), all Paris train stations (Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Gare de l'Est, Gare Montparnasse, Gare Saint-Lazare), and long-distance destinations including Brussels, Amsterdam, London, Geneva and Milan.
Orly Airport Transfers: Paris Orly to the City & Disneyland
Orly Airport is Paris's second-largest airport, located 14 kilometres south of the city centre and frequently used by domestic French flights, Air France regional services, and a growing number of European low-cost carriers. Orly has two main passenger buildings: Orly South (Sud) and Orly West (Ouest), with a new expansion hall — Orly 4 — completed as part of the airport's major modernisation programme.
For passengers heading to Disneyland Paris from Orly, the transfer is actually shorter than from CDG — approximately 35 to 45 minutes via the A86 and A4 motorways. CDG Paris Cab provides fixed-price direct transfers from Orly arrivals to any of the nine Disneyland Paris hotel properties: Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, Disney's Newport Bay Club, Disney's Sequoia Lodge, Disney's Hotel Cheyenne, Disney's Hotel Santa Fe, Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch, Disney's Hotel Dream, and Villages Nature Paris.
Child seats are always provided at no charge — simply specify the number of children and their ages when making your booking, and your driver will have the correct equipment fitted before your arrival.
Beauvais Airport: The Low-Cost Gateway to Paris
Beauvais-Tillé Airport, officially marketed as "Paris Beauvais," is located approximately 85 kilometres north of Paris — significantly further from the city than CDG or Orly. It is the arrival airport for Ryanair and Wizz Air flights serving Paris, offering low-cost fares from across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The trade-off is the distance: passengers who book bargain fares sometimes underestimate the time and cost of reaching Paris itself.
CDG Paris Cab offers fixed-price private minivan transfers from Beauvais airport to Paris city hotels, Disneyland Paris, Versailles and all other destinations. For groups of four or more, the total cost per person is often comparable to — or lower than — the official Beauvais-Tillé shuttle bus to Paris, with the enormous advantage of a door-to-door private service versus a shared coach to Porte Maillot followed by onward connections.
Disneyland Paris Transfers: The Cheapest Way for Groups
Disneyland Paris is Europe's most visited theme park, welcoming over 9 million guests per year to its two parks (Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park), Disney Village, and nine on-site hotels. The resort is located in Marne-la-Vallée, approximately 32 kilometres east of Paris city centre, with excellent links from CDG (40 min), Orly (40 min) and Paris (RER A, 35 min from central Paris).
For families and groups, the question of "the cheapest way to get to Disneyland Paris from the airport" deserves a careful answer. While the RER A train from central Paris is the cheapest single-ticket option for one or two people, the picture changes dramatically for a group. Consider a family of five arriving at CDG: five RER tickets plus a train from CDG to central Paris plus the RER A to Disneyland adds up quickly — and involves navigating the Paris transport system with luggage and tired children. A private CDG Paris Cab minivan transfer, with all five passengers included at a single fixed price and door-to-hotel delivery, is frequently the better value option, and always the more comfortable one.
For groups of 4 or more passengers, a private minivan transfer to Disneyland Paris is often the most economical per-person option — and is always the most stress-free. No luggage on escalators. No ticket machines. No connections. Just your driver, your vehicle, and straight to your Disney hotel.
Paris Hotel Transfers: Every Arrondissement, Every Hotel
Paris has 20 arrondissements and thousands of hotels ranging from budget accommodation in the 18th to palace hotels along the Avenue Montaigne. CDG Paris Cab serves every Paris hotel without restriction or zone surcharge. Whether you are staying at a boutique hotel in Le Marais, a family hotel near Disneyland Paris, a business hotel at La Défense, or a luxury property in the 8th arrondissement's Golden Triangle, your driver will take you directly to the door.
Departure transfers are equally comprehensive. If you need to be at CDG Terminal 2E for a 06:30 flight, your CDG Paris Cab driver will arrange the pick-up time in reverse — calculating journey time and allowing a sensible margin. Early morning and late-night transfers are available at no additional time surcharge.
Paris Train Station Transfers
Paris has six major train stations, each serving different regions and international routes. Gare du Nord (Eurostar to London, Thalys to Brussels and Amsterdam, TGV to Lille, Eurostar to Amsterdam); Gare de Lyon (TGV to the French Riviera, Lyon, Marseille, Geneva, Italy); Gare de l'Est (TGV to Strasbourg, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland); Gare Montparnasse (TGV to Bordeaux, Rennes, Nantes, the Atlantic coast); Gare Saint-Lazare (Normandy regional trains, Caen, Cherbourg); and Gare d'Austerlitz (overnight trains to Spain, the Pyrenees).
CDG Paris Cab provides private minivan transfers between all six Paris stations and the city's three airports, as well as transfers from stations to hotels, Disneyland Paris, Versailles and all other destinations. If you are arriving on a Eurostar from London at Gare du Nord and need to reach your Disneyland Paris hotel, one booking with CDG Paris Cab covers the entire journey.

The Professional Minivan Taxi Driver: A Different Standard
The quality of a transfer service is ultimately determined by the quality of its drivers. At CDG Paris Cab, every driver is professionally licensed, vetted, English-speaking (and in many cases French and Arabic-speaking too), and trained in the specific requirements of airport transfers — including terminal layouts, flight monitoring, child seat installation, and luggage handling. Our drivers understand that an airport transfer is often the first impression a traveller has of their entire trip. They take that responsibility seriously.
Our drivers know the routes — but more importantly, they know the alternatives. Paris traffic is notoriously unpredictable, particularly on the Périphérique and the major motorways approaching CDG. When the A1 is blocked, our drivers know the secondary roads. When an event at Stade de France adds an hour to the journey, our drivers leave earlier. The Mercedes V-Class vehicles are equipped with live traffic navigation, but driver experience is what makes the real difference.
Drivers carry name boards clearly displaying the passenger's name and the CDG Paris Cab logo. If you have difficulty locating your driver after landing, our 24/7 contact number — +33 6 52 03 99 15 — is always answered by a real person who can connect you immediately.
