Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.
Cheapest option: RER B train at around $19. Fastest: RER B train.

France airport transfer FAQs
What is the Entry/Exit System and does it affect me?
Yes. The EU Entry/Exit System has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. Instead of stamping your passport, the border takes your fingerprints and a facial image at your first Schengen crossing and records every entry and exit digitally. You only enrol once every three years, but budget extra time at the airport the first time.
