We will attempt to find out which one is really the best Paris shuttle service by simply looking at the data available. Along the way I will also give you a few helpful tips which will help you before booking a shuttle service in Paris.

NOTE: Skip to the end to find out who won the best shuttle service in Paris.

What I have done is chosen twelve of the most popularly used Paris shuttle bus or van services. I then asked them a list of question in order to really compare the data and put it all in one place. I wanted to look at operation hours, customer service response, price and flexibility. Unfortunately this case study can’t take into account personal experience as I have not traveled with all of these services. However I would love to hear from you if you have!

Travelers in Paris are usually looking for one of four shuttle options which are Charlles De Gaulle airport, Orly airport, Beauvais airport or Euro Disneyland. However I have based the review more about CGD and Orly as this will give a general overview of weather the service is worth using.

The Question I asked are written below. I will be making my decision as to which service i would use depending on the answers i receive. please check the end of the post to see who is our choice.

[stextbox id=”info”]1. What form of payments do you take and do you take American express?
2. What is the Earliest you can get me from Montmartre to CGD?
3. What is the Earliest you can get me from Montmartre to Orly?
4. How often are you at these airports?
5. How many people can you fit?
6. How much from Montmartre to CGD Airport?
7. How much from Montmartre to Orly Airport?[/stextbox]

Service Options – Private shuttle only, no share option
Email Response Time – I received an email reply within about 30 minutes
Helpfulness – I dont know why many of the other could not just simply reply like this. short and to the point. Great reply in my opinion!
Operation Hours – Perfect!
Price – Good for a private transfer service

My Thoughts: I should point out that these guys are a private transfer service only and it would really only be worth using if you have 2 or more people to transport as its only $60 via taxi to most places in paris from CGD. However if you want a private service these guys sound great. they tick all the boxes except for a shared shuttle option.

My Thoughts – So this was an interesting Reply! I am not going to waist my time rating this one as i was hardly given a quality reply and when i made some follow up questions i simply had my emails bounce back to me. I also had to clean up this message you see in the yellow box above. prior to looking like what you see there was a jumbled up mess of html which i was sent via email.

NOTE: Dont let the name “Paris Shuttle Low Cost” fool you. these guys are far from cheap. I looked at their shared shuttle prices and they were the same cost as a taxi and very close to a private shuttle.

Email Response Time – within 24h
Helpfulness – Not helpful at all and very unprofessional
Operation Hours –Limited
Price – These guys are the cheapest so far 23E one Person on a shared bus to CGD

My Thoughts:

I would only choose these guys if i was really strapped for cash. they have limited serices, poor customer service, and honestly there website looks like a 5 year onld build it. however this is the cheapest paris airport shuttle.

[stextbox id=”warning” caption=”Paris Shuttle (ParisShuttle.com) or Yellow Van Shutle (www.yellowvanshuttle.com)”]

1. We accept American Express; if you book a private one you have to pay in advance by credit card on our website. For a shared one you can also pay cash to the driver.

4. We have shuttles at the airport everyday holidays included

6/7. the price depends on the number of people and the type of transfer: shared or private
ME: Can you please give me both shared and private prices?

Note: The reason i have bundled these two together is that they are eaither the same company and opperating under two websites or they

Service Options – Shared and Private
Email Response Time – 48h to get back to me
Helpfulness – fairly helpful and professional
Operation Hours – shuttles start fairly early at 4am
Price – 38E Shared and 83E for 1-4 persons private

My Thoughts:

customer service was fairly quick to reply, the prices are fairly competitive however it make me wonder if these guys are an affiliate in some way or which site is actually running the show. not a bad choice for 2 people shared but 1 person shared you can definitely get cheaper.

Service Options – Private and shared
Email Response Time – Within a few hours
Helpfulness – Answered the questions fairly well but gave no idea as to how much the fares were.
Operation Hours – 24/7
Price – 26E shared and private is 55E for 1-2 people plus 73E for 3-4

My Thoughts: Wow! I am wraped with these guys shared shuttle prices.. however you need to check the hours of thich you are arriving. if you leave or arrive between certain times then it is more expensive. Private shuttles are just about on par with other services. it all depends on how many you are traveling with to get a good price on private. for instance it is no more than 60E for a taxi to CGD which can fit 3 people. so i would not use these guys if i had 3 people on a private car.

[stextbox id=”warning” caption=”Paris Airport Transfer (www.parisairportransfer.com) or Paris VIP Limo (parisviplimo.com)” collapsing=”false” collapsed=”false”]

1. If you book online you can pay by credit card we accept all credits cards. (Visa, mastercard, American express). Our website is secure, we do not save information’s about your credit card. Or you can pay the same day cash to the driver.

2-3. If you take a shuttle service like you share a 8 seaters with other passengers pick time will be 3 hours before your flight. However if you take a private express service or private service you can choose your pick up time.

4. You must book before a car, because we are always full and can not provide a few hours a car before your flight or address. We do transfers to many airports (Beauvais, Charles de gaulle airport and Orly).

5. We do not have a number of passengers, because we have a large fleet of cars and if you are 15, 20,30,50 passengers we can provide you a bus.

6. Shared Service : 39€ for 2 passengers/way/including luggages, fees and tip. You will share the car (a 8 seater minivan) with other passengers. Reservation needed
• Private express : 59€ for 1 to 3 passengers/ by way/including luggages, fees and tip. Driver will meet you at the meeting point indicated by phone. Reservation needed

7. how much from Montmartre to Orly? You can consult our prices in our website.

Note: This is another funny one. when i messaged “Paris Airport Transfers” i constantly kept getting a message back from “Paris VIP Limo”. Im not sure but i dont think these guys are the same company from the different responses i got. i think that Paris Airport Transfers is a shuttle customer referral company and you get sent to “Paris VIP Limo”, however i could be proven wrong.

Service Options – Shared or Private
Email Response Time – within a few hours
Helpfulness – very helpful however i had to message a few times to figure out who they were
Operation Hours –When ever your flight is scheduled
Price – Shared Prices are not that cheap however Private prices are fairly good if you have 3 people.

My Thoughts:

These guys seem fairly professional from their emails. i would probably only consider using these guys if i had 3 people for a private tour. I am still unsure as to weather they are a referral company or if they are own both websites. the reason i think this is because on site is really professional and the VIP site is not. plus they have not contact form on the VIP site.

[stextbox id=”alert” caption=”No Reply!” collapsing=”false” collapsed=”false”] Unfortunately after trying to contact these shuttle companies i had no reply after 2 week. i messaged them all three times however received nothing.

Paris Airport Shuttle (www.paris-airport-shuttle.com)
1 Shuttle (www.1shuttle.com)
Paris Airport Shuttle France (www.paris-airport-shuttle.fr)
First Shuttle (www.first-shuttle.com)
Paris Shuttle (www.paris-shuttle.com)

I am not in a position to comment on these 5 services however i think that if a professional business cant reply to 3 attempts of contact over 2 weeks then they dont deserve customers. [/stextbox]

Best Shuttle Service Winners

[stextbox id=”custom” caption=”The best Paris Shuttle Services Are…” collapsing=”false” collapsed=”false”]Best Shared Shuttle Service – Blue Van Shuttles (www.bluvan.fr)
This is because of there customer service, helpfulness, opening hours and rock bottom prices at only 26Euro for 1 person and 2 persons 38Euro. (travel time may fluctuate prices) The only bad thing is they dont take American express but still above the competition with this downfall.

Best Private Shuttle Service 1-3 Persons – Super Star Travel (www.super-star-travel.com)
Once again these guys messaged back quick, have good prices in the 1-3 person price range, very helpful and professional, all opening hours, take almost any form of payment. (all boxes ticked) See independent review here…

Best Private Shuttle Service 4-8 Persons -Say Shuttle Service (SayShuttle.com)
Once again these guys tick all of the boxes as far as the examined criteria. I was really amazed when they told me it was only 69Euro for a private van of up to 8 people. that is really cheap compared to its competitors.

[/stextbox]

Alternative Services: There is also another shuttle service that my suit your need however I did not review them as they are very different from the traditional shuttle. They are VEA shuttle service in paris. this is basically a big bus that has a time table to stop as specific hotels and locations to and from the airports or disneyland. it covers the inner and outer suburbs of paris and is very cheap however it may or may not suit your timetable or drop off locations..

I hope this has been helpfull and please let us know you thougth and or expeirences…
