Are there luxury car companies that will pick up at CDG and take us to our apartment?
Our flight gets in on a Weds morning at 9am, or would it be smarter to take a train? We are staying in the 3rd arro.
Thanks ;o)

I have listed all of the options except luxury car options. These will be expensive and are not like the car with driver options typically found available in the NYC area.

Well im thinking about arriving in Paris and surprising my boyfriend with an incredible car to take us to the apartment. How long does the train take to go to the 3rd arro?
Thanks

Did you guys Google %26quot;luxury car for pick up at Paris airport%26quot;? I did and got: platinium-limousine-service.co.uk/paris-cdg.…
I have no connections whatsoever with them and am much too stingy to use that type of thing but do have a look.
|||
I have used Victor Limousine (you can find it through a search here, with others%26#39; comments as well) and like them a lot. The drivers speak at least some English, they will meet you outside baggage claim and take your luggage, and the car generally is a very nice sedan (although not ostentatious - Parisians aren%26#39;t into silly looking stretch nonsense). It%26#39;s a very nice way to arrive, on a special occasion - last time I did it, the charge was 90 euros.
|||
I wouldn%26#39;t bother with a luxury car from CDG. For one thing, Paris taxis are all makes and models and usually nearly new and also very clean.
One trip, our taxi was a Mercedes with a very dapper older gent in a formal black suit with white shirt and tie driving. You never know...
I don%26#39;t mind spending the extra for a taxi versus the RER, etc.
|||
Sarasto listed a shuttle company that is actually a private car service. I have used it, based on recommendations from a very reliable poster here( Gracejoan) who is also very well accquainted with Paris.
I liked using them as they did not require a deposit or a CC number to reserve, the price was good( 50 euros last year) and I didn%26#39;t have to wait in a taxi line.
My next choice would be the RER.
Taxi fares will vary , traffic does affect price, it can be as cheap as 40 euros,but I have heard of people paying alot more, 55-70 euros.. so the private car services seemed like a deal to me. They are not luxury cars as I recall ( although if you look on the website they may have that).

Logically when someone asks for a premium transportation service in a large metropolitan area such as Paris, they do not usually consider the subway as a %26quot;second%26quot; or backup choice.
None the less here is the list:

I am saying subway because it is quicker!!!

You%26#39;re comparing apples to oranges. There are certainly luxury car services in Paris. A %26quot;..luxury car..%26quot; airport transfer will run anywhere from 150€-to-300€. The %26quot;..train..%26quot; (RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne) will run 8,40€ per person w/onward Metro connection. So WHICH do you think fits into your personal preferences, priorities and BUDGET best ??

It%26#39;s certainly cheaper...but NOT necessarily %26quot;..quicker..%26quot;, when you consider the time it might take to get from your arrival terminal to train station, time to purchase tickets, wait for the next train, take the train, get from train station to your hotel. So you%26#39;re back to convenience vs. cost. What%26#39;s your priority here?? Because if cost is a factor, then in addition to the train, there are also a few other good public transportation airport transfer options (Roissybus, Les Cars Air Farnce Coach) that might suit the convenience of your final destination in Paris better than others.
