The new CDG Express will link Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport to Gare de l'Est. Fast, yes — but is it really the simplest and cheapest way to reach your hotel, especially with a family or a group? Let's compare honestly.
The new CDG Express: fast, but per person
The CDG Express connects CDG to Gare de l'Est in about 20 minutes, with a departure every 15 minutes (launch planned for 28 March 2027). The ticket is €25 per person one way.
Two things to keep in mind: it is a per-person fare (a family of 4 costs €100), and the train only drops you at Gare de l'Est — you then still have to reach your hotel (metro, onward connection…), which adds time, connections with luggage and extra cost.
CDG Express or VTC: the comparison
| Option | Cost | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| CDG Express | €25 / person | ~20 min, but only to Gare de l'Est; then a connection with your luggage |
| ParisVTCDriver VTC | €80 flat up to 4 passengers | Door-to-door, fixed price, flight tracking — and cheaper with loyalty |
Why choose a ParisVTCDriver VTC
- ✓Fixed price, even for 4 passengers. €80 for CDG ↔ Paris whatever the number of passengers (up to 4) — and even less with ParisVTCDriver loyalty discounts (up to −20%). For 4 people it's already better value than 4 CDG Express tickets.
- ✓Door-to-door. From the plane to your hotel (or back, to the right terminal), with no connection and no suitcases to drag.
- ✓Privacy is priceless. Peace of mind first: your chauffeur adapts to you — your choice of music, temperature (AC or heating), pace, or silence if you prefer.
- ✓Meet & greet + flight tracking. We wait for you on arrival, even if your flight is delayed.
- ✓No queue, no bad surprises. Price and service agreed in advance, day or night.
