Looking for the absolute cheapest way to reach Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) Airport from central Paris? I've tested multiple options based on my own travel experience.
Standard taxi fares start at €55 under normal conditions.
Uber typically costs around €50.
Shared rides via Wecab average about €35.
Air France coaches charge €17 one-way.
The RER train is €10 for a single ticket.
These were solid budget picks—until I discovered easyBus. I booked my trip from Paris center to CDG for just €3.49!
Skeptical? I get it. That's why I saved my ticket receipt—shown below. Note: This price covered 2 people.
1. Visit the easyBus website.
2. Select your departure date (round-trip options available).
3. Pick a convenient time slot.
4. Pay the displayed fare.
5. Print your tickets.
6. On travel day, head to the pickup at Palais Royal metro station. Use this exact address for easy navigation.
You're set for CDG! Expect about 1 hour travel time.
Book early—the further in advance, the lower the price. I snagged mine 2 weeks ahead. Fares can drop to €2 one-way or €4 round-trip with enough lead time.
Pickups are exclusively from Palais Royal station, so budget an extra €1.90 metro ticket unless you have a Navigo pass.
easyBus doesn't serve Orly Airport yet.
