Beauvais to Paris: Shuttle Bus, Train & Private Car

Beauvais airport sits 85 km north of Paris. In 2026 you have three options: the official shuttle bus to Porte Maillot (€17.90 online, about 1h15), the TER train from Beauvais station to Gare du Nord (plus an airport-to-station connection), or a private chauffeur from €250 per vehicle, door to door, which for four or more travellers competes directly with the alternatives.

Beauvais-Tillé is the budget gateway to Paris, used mainly by Ryanair and Wizz Air, and the distance is the whole story: 85 km, no direct rail link, and a single official shuttle that every flight shares. The shuttle works, but it leaves 20 to 25 minutes after the last passengers clear and drops everyone at Porte Maillot, on the western edge of Paris, where most travellers still need a metro or taxi to finish. After a delayed evening flight, that chain gets long. The honest comparison: travelling alone, take the shuttle and keep the difference. Travelling as a family or group of four or more, or landing late, price the private car before you default to the bus, one vehicle at a fixed €250 against four shuttle seats plus the final leg plus an hour of accumulated waiting.

The shuttle is fine. The last kilometre is the problem

The official Aérobus drops every passenger at Porte Maillot, which is perfect if your hotel is in the 16th or 17th arrondissement and a compromise everywhere else. Count a metro ride or a Paris taxi on top, with luggage, after a flight and 75 minutes of motorway.

The shuttle also keys its departures to the flight schedule: 20 to 25 minutes after each arrival. Miss that window because of a slow bag belt and you wait for the next rotation. None of this is dramatic solo; all of it compounds with children, four suitcases or a 22:40 landing.

When the private car beats the bus on simple arithmetic

Four shuttle seats cost €71.60, plus the Porte Maillot leg for four with luggage, plus the waiting. A fixed €250 V-free E-Class takes three passengers door to door; the V-Class takes up to seven. For a group of six, the per-head maths land near the shuttle price while removing every connection.

There is no regulated taxi flat fare from Beauvais, so the meter runs the full 85 km: quotes beyond the fixed private rate are common. If you do want a car, book it before you fly rather than negotiating at the rank.
