Airport Transfers

How do I get from CDG Airport to central Paris?

The most comfortable option is a private transfer with a professional chauffeur waiting in the arrivals hall. MyDriverParis offers fixed-price transfers from CDG starting at €140 in a Mercedes E-Class. Your chauffeur tracks your flight in real time and adjusts pickup automatically. Door-to-door, the journey takes 45–75 minutes depending on traffic.

What is Meet & Greet service at the airport?

Meet & Greet means your chauffeur welcomes you inside the terminal at arrivals, holding a sign with your name. They assist with luggage and guide you directly to your vehicle. At MyDriverParis, complimentary Meet & Greet is included with every airport transfer — no extra charge.

Can you help with Fast Track at CDG or Orly?

Yes. MyDriverParis offers a VIP Fast Track service at CDG and Orly airports. A dedicated airport agent meets you at the gate, escorts you through priority security and passport control, and takes you directly to your chauffeur. Ideal for business travelers or families wanting a stress-free airport experience.

How early should I book an airport transfer?

We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance to guarantee availability, especially during peak travel seasons. However, we do accommodate same-day and last-minute requests whenever possible. For large vehicles (V-Class, Sprinter) or VIP Fast Track services, booking 48–72 hours ahead is recommended.

Why should I enter my flight or train number?

Providing your flight number allows us to track your flight in real time and adjust the pickup time in case of delays or early arrivals, whenever possible. It also ensures that your chauffeur is waiting at the correct terminal. We offer similar arrival monitoring for major train stations.

What if my flight or train is delayed?

If your flight is scheduled to land at 6:00 PM and you booked your pickup for 6:30 PM, and the flight is delayed by 30 minutes, we will automatically shift your pickup time to 7:00 PM.
The same applies to early arrivals — if your flight lands ahead of schedule, your chauffeur will be informed and your pickup time will be moved forward accordingly.

Where will the chauffeur meet me?

All MyDriverParis airport pickups include complimentary Meet & Greet service.
Unless otherwise specified, your chauffeur will welcome you at the designated meeting point for the pick-up address you provided. For highly frequented locations such as airports, train stations, hotels, or event venues, specific pickup instructions may apply. Whenever relevant, these details will be included directly in the pickup section of your booking confirmation.
