CDG Express or VTC: getting to Paris from CDG airport (or back)

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.

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.
