Arranging your transfer before you travel can make an arrival at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) easier. Whether you are heading to a Paris hotel, connecting with a train or traveling to a business meeting, a prebooked private chauffeur service lets you confirm your vehicle, destination and pickup arrangements in advance.
CDG is a major international airport northeast of Paris. Its terminal complex serves travelers arriving from around the world, with airport rail links, passenger facilities and onward connections across Île-de-France.
This guide explains how to reserve your private car service, find the correct terminal and plan transfers to hotels, restaurants, stations and business destinations.
How to Book Your CDG Private Chauffeur
- Provide your itinerary: enter your pickup location, destination, date and time in our English booking form.
- Share your flight details: include the flight number and arrival or departure terminal so the journey can be coordinated.
- Choose a suitable vehicle: specify your passenger count and the number and size of your bags.
- Request any special arrangements: mention child seats, mobility needs, extra stops or a name-sign welcome before confirming.
- Review the fare and conditions: check the itinerary, pickup instructions, payment arrangements and any waiting allowance.
- Keep your confirmation available: follow the meeting instructions and contact us if your flight or plans change.
Your fare is communicated and agreed before pickup for the itinerary booked. For a schedule involving several journeys, ask about a Dedicated Chauffeur Service.
We are available 24/7 by reservation.
Understanding the CDG Terminal Layout
The current terminal names are 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G and 3. These include the separate halls of the Terminal 2 complex, rather than nine interchangeable terminals with identical access.
Check the exact terminal and boarding area on your airline’s latest confirmation. Airline assignments can change, and a destination or airline name alone is not enough to determine your pickup or departure point.
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 is known for its circular building and connected boarding areas. Use the signs for your airline’s check-in zone, departures or arrivals. Check-in, security, boarding and baggage claim occupy different areas, so allow time to move through the terminal.
CDGVAL provides a public connection with Roissypôle and the Terminal 2 transport hub. For an arrival transfer, follow the meeting instructions supplied for your booking rather than going to a taxi rank automatically.

The Terminal 2 Complex
Terminal 2 comprises halls 2A through 2G, with different access routes and boarding arrangements. Terminal 2E also has separate boarding areas. Check your flight information instead of assuming every hall serves the same airlines or destinations.
The Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station is at the Terminal 2 transport hub and provides high-speed rail and RER B connections. Walking routes and airport shuttles connect parts of the complex, but CDGVAL does not stop at every individual hall.
Terminal 2G requires an additional connection from the main Terminal 2 area. Follow current airport directions, including the public N2 shuttle from 2F where appropriate. Airside flight connections have separate instructions.
Terminals 2A–2C · Terminals 2B–2D · Terminal 2E · Terminal 2F · Terminal 2G
Terminals 2B and 2D
If your flight uses 2B or 2D, confirm the exact arrival hall and meeting point. These halls have their own check-in and passenger routes within the wider Terminal 2 complex. Do not rely on an older list of airline assignments when planning a transfer.

Terminal 3
Terminal 3 has a more compact layout and is reached on foot from Roissypôle. The nearby RER B station is named Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1, although it is not inside Terminal 1. Use the Roissypôle CDGVAL stop for onward connections with the other main airport hubs.
Confirm your airline’s terminal rather than assuming that every low-cost flight uses Terminal 3. Facilities and opening hours differ from those in the larger terminal areas.

Travel from March 2027: CDG’s announced terminal renaming begins on March 16, 2027. Check the terminal name on your updated flight confirmation when traveling around this transition.
Airport Services and Practical Facilities
CDG offers shops, cafés, restaurants and passenger services in public and secure areas. The options available depend on your terminal, gate and travel time.
Lounge admission depends on the specific lounge, airline, ticket and membership rules. Workspaces, showers and paid entry are not universal. Check the airport directory for ATMs, currency exchange, pharmacies and other facilities you may need.
For a connection, make sure the facility you want to use is accessible without leaving the required security or immigration route. Airport assistance staff can help you identify the correct onward path.
How Much Time Should You Allow?
Follow your airline’s recommended airport arrival time and check-in deadline. Online check-in does not remove security or boarding requirements, and checked baggage still needs to be dropped off before the airline’s deadline.
Road journeys between Paris and CDG can take roughly 45–90 minutes depending on the route and traffic, and sometimes longer. These are planning estimates, not guaranteed times. Allow additional time during busy periods, roadwork or disruption.
For an arrival pickup, include immigration, baggage collection and the walk to the meeting point. For a train or flight connection, share the onward departure deadline when requesting your transfer.
Current alternatives to a private transfer include RER B and airport bus services. RoissyBus is no longer operating; use the latest route information for express line 9517, routes 350 and 351 or overnight Noctilien services.
