How to Get from Paris–Beauvais Airport to Paris

Beauvois airport is located in Tillé, about 85 kilometres north of Paris. It is known as the third airport in Paris, after Charles de Gaulle and Orly.

In this post I will tell you about the means of transport to get from Beauvois airport to Paris. There are options for different budgets and time available, so take note of the details to choose the one that best suits your trip.

The advantage of these services is comfort and flexibility, as you are picked up when you arrive, without queues, and taken directly to your destination, without having to decide how to get around the city of Paris to get to your hotel or flat.

Another advantage is that you can customise your trip according to your preferences or your travel expectations. For example, you can choose different models of car or minibus, depending on the number of people you are travelling with or the way you like to move around. The services they usually include are:

• Professional driver
• Welcome sign service
• Free cancellations up to 24 hours before pick-up time
• Luggage rack service
• Extra stops in the same city, interesting for groups with different accommodation.

Interesting facts

• Timetable: whatever you need. The contact forms ask you for your flight details and explain how you will meet at the airport.
• Price: varies depending on factors such as the vehicle you choose. But a return service can cost approximately €300 in a vehicle that seats three people with three pieces of luggage.
• Journeytime: about one hour and twenty minutes.
• Do I need to book? Yes.

There is a shuttle bus service that runs directly between the airport and the capital. This option is also economical and perfect if your itinerary is not yet fully booked and you haven't decided when to return. You can exchange your return journey up to 12 months after purchasing your ticket.

If you prefer, you can also buy a one-way ticket. The price is the same as the return ticket, so it is not more expensive.

The destination stop in Paris is the Pershing car park, at Porte Maillot. It is very well served by public transport in the city, connecting with the RER line C (Paris regional trains) and metro line 1. It is very close to the Champs Elysées, so you can start sightseeing as soon as the bus doors open.

Interesting facts

• Timetable: The first departure from Paris is at 03:10 in the morning and arrives at the airport at 04:25. From then on, there are departures almost every hour, although I advise you to check the timetables on their website. Departures in the opposite direction, from the airport to Paris, start at 08:30 and arrive at Maillot at 09:45.
• Price: For adults, a return trip costs around €29 and for children around €20. A single trip is about half the price: Approximately €15 for adults and €10 for children. For small children (up to 4 years old) the trip is free.
• Journeytime: approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.
• Intermediate stops: none.
• Is it necessary to book? It is advisable, as you risk running out of seats or queuing and missing the bus.

If you plan to travel by car during your trip to Paris, there are several companies that offer car hire directly at the airport, such as Europcar, Avis, Budget or Hertz. You can check the models available for your travel dates online.

The advantage of this option is flexibility and I advise you to research the cars available online for your travel dates and, when you decide, book before you arrive. This will ensure you find what you want.

But be careful! Be aware that there are two places where you can pick up your hire car at Beauvais airport, depending on the company you choose:

• In car park 3
• In an area set up for this purpose opposite terminal 2, between the bus station and the car parks.

Useful information

It is signposted TER and can be taken from Paris Gare du Nord to Beauvois SNCF station.

It's not a direct route, so although it has the advantage of being a cheap option, it's not very practical. It may be worthwhile if your hotel in Paris is at the Gare du Nord.
