Uber is certainly available. At least, it was a year or two ago, but

I've used Uber many times, but only in the US. I find it very
convenient, generally much more so than taxis. If you can't help me
with Uber, perhaps someone else here can.

Anyone here who can provide information about Uber in Paris,
especially at CDG airport?

At some airports, Uber isn't allowed to pick up at curbside. At CDG it
appears they're allowed to.

You can enter your origin (CDG) and destination near some famous
landmark, such as the Opera or Hotel de Ville on the front page of
uber.com and it will come up with estimates.

You want to try different times, especially the time you anticipate it
will be when you clear immigration and get all your luggage.



Thank you very much. I just did that and it came up with €50-60. I was
hoping for a more precise estimate, but that's better than nothing.

How does that €50-60 compare with taking a taxi? Can you guess about
how much a taxi would cost?


According to this site, there are flat fares:

I'm not sure how accurate this site is:

Also beware of taking official taxis. I don't know if it's a problem at
CDG but once at Gare du Nord, we went out to the front of the station
and there were people coming up to us asking if we wanted a taxi.

Turns out the only place where official taxis are allowed to pick up at
that station is to the side of the building, with marked signs. The
licensed cabbies aren't going around trying to convince people to ride
with them.

Instead they just queue up where the people are suppose to line up.
These unlicensed "taxis" are apparently dodgy. If they can't even get
vetted for Uber, you have to wonder about them.
