A private chauffeur in Paris, booked ahead, at a price agreed upfront

In France a VTC (voiture de transport avec chauffeur) is not a taxi. It cannot be hailed in the street and has no meter: the ride is booked, and the fare is locked when you book it. That is the legal framework, and it is also the point. When you get into a CAR & VIP car in Paris, your chauffeur is already waiting, already knows the destination, and you already know what you will pay.

We operate across Paris and the whole Île-de-France region from Créteil, with chauffeurs holding the French professional VTC licence and vehicles insured for passenger transport. Bookings close 12 hours before pickup. That lead time is what lets us assign a named chauffeur to your ride instead of putting you in a queue.

VTC or Parisian taxi: what actually differs

  • The fare · a taxi runs on a meter, with regulated flat fares to the airports. With a VTC the price is calculated and locked at booking. Traffic, rush hour and detours do not change it.
  • Booking · a taxi is hailed or taken at a rank. A VTC must be booked ahead, here at least 12 hours. Less spontaneous, but a car is genuinely reserved in your name.
  • Car and chauffeur · you know the vehicle category before you leave, and you receive your chauffeur's name and plate number by text.
  • Payment · online by secure card at booking. Nothing to settle on board, nothing for a colleague or a guest to pay out of pocket.

Our fares to and from Paris

These are the fares actually charged, all in: tolls, fuel, meet & greet and luggage. They are not teaser estimates.

  • Orly → Paris · from €49 for 18 km, about 35 min
  • Le Bourget → Paris · from €52 for 12 km, about 20 min
  • Paris-CDG → Paris · from €54 for 30 km, about 45 min
  • Beauvais → Paris · from €136 for 85 km, about 1 h 15

For a ride inside Paris, out to the suburbs or beyond Île-de-France, the booking module shows the exact fare in seconds: enter pickup and drop-off and the price appears before you commit. No luggage supplement, no booking fee.

Every journey in Paris and Île-de-France

Airport transfers

This is the core of what we do. Your flight is tracked live: land two hours late and your chauffeur knows, and shifts the pickup. On arrival he waits in the hall with a name board, and 60 minutes of waiting are included while you collect your bags. Each airport has its own page: Paris-CDG, Orly, Le Bourget and Beauvais.

Paris train stations

A TGV does not wait: pickup is set against the train time, with a precise meeting point at each station rather than a vague "outside the exit". We serve Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Gare de l'Est, Saint-Lazare, Montparnasse, Austerlitz, Massy TGV and Marne-la-Vallée Chessy.

Rides within Paris and the inner suburbs

A business meeting, dinner, a show, a hospital appointment, an early flight: a car booked the night before removes the 7 a.m. taxi lottery. Our most requested destinations outside central Paris are La Défense, Versailles and Disneyland Paris.

Long-distance from Paris

Regional cities, regional airports, the Belgian or Swiss border: we cover long-distance journeys from Paris on the same locked-fare principle. The price follows the real distance rather than a blind per-kilometre rate. Ask for a quote through the contact form or on WhatsApp.

Business accounts

If you move staff or guests around Paris regularly, a business account consolidates rides onto one monthly invoice, with a receipt per journey.

Our vehicles

Three categories, all up to 3 passengers. We do not operate vans: if you are more than three, or travelling with oversized luggage, tell us before booking and we will arrange several cars.

  • Economy · 3 passengers, 2 bags. Best value for a city ride.
  • Comfort · 3 passengers, 3 bags. Our most booked category for airport transfers.
  • Electric sedan · 3 passengers, 3 bags. Quiet, and cleared for low-emission zones.

Travelling with a child: baby seats and boosters

In France a child under 10 must travel in a restraint suited to their height and weight. Taxis are exempt from that rule, private hire vehicles are not: fitting the car is our job, not something you should be carrying through an airport.

Just tell us the child's age and weight when you book. The right device is fitted before pickup: a carrier for an infant, a seat for a toddler, a booster beyond that. This is also why we ask for 12 hours' notice, because a seat has to be installed and checked rather than improvised at the kerb.

One practical point that is easy to miss: a child seat takes up a passenger place. In our 3-seat cars, two adults travelling with two children in seats will not fit in one vehicle. Tell us and we will arrange two cars on the same slot.

How to book

  • 1. The price · enter pickup, drop-off, date and passengers. Each category's fare appears straight away.
  • 2. The booking · pay online by card. Confirmation reaches you by e-mail with your booking reference.
  • 3. On the day · one text when your chauffeur sets off, another when he arrives. You can follow the car from the My booking page.

Cancellation is free and fully refunded up to 24 hours before pickup. The pickup date can be changed on its own, without rebooking. Inside that window, call us: there is usually a way.

FAQ

Private chauffeur in Paris: your questions

How much does a private chauffeur cost in Paris?

It depends on the actual distance, and you know it before booking. As a benchmark on our most requested routes: from €49 Orly to Paris, €52 from Le Bourget, €54 from Paris-CDG and €136 from Beauvais, all inclusive. For a ride within Paris or the suburbs, the booking module shows the exact fare in seconds.

What is the difference between a taxi and a VTC in Paris?

A taxi can be hailed in the street or taken at a rank and runs on a meter. A VTC must be booked in advance and its fare is fixed at booking: it does not move, whatever the traffic. You also know the vehicle category and your chauffeur's identity before you travel.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes. We need at least 12 hours before pickup. That lead time lets us assign a named chauffeur and the right vehicle for your luggage, rather than putting you in a queue.

Is a VTC cheaper than a taxi in Paris?

Not always, but it is predictable. On a clear run a metered taxi can come close; in traffic or at rush hour the meter keeps running while our fare stays the one shown at booking. It is that absence of surprise that customers come back for.

How do I choose a chauffeur service in Paris?

Check three things: that the fare is stated and locked before the ride, that the company is identifiable (company number, address, VTC register number), and that chauffeurs hold the professional licence. CAR & VIP is registered with the Créteil commercial court under number 822 304 788.

How many passengers and bags can you take?

Up to 3 passengers per car, with 2 to 3 bags depending on the category. We do not operate vans: for more than three people, or oversized luggage, contact us before booking and we will arrange several cars on the same slot.

Do you provide baby seats and booster seats?

Yes, on request, and you do not need to bring your own. Give us the child's age and weight when you book: a carrier for an infant, a seat for a toddler, a booster beyond that. The device is fitted and checked before pickup. Note that a child seat takes up a passenger place: a party of four including two children in seats needs two vehicles.

Can you pick me up at the airport or the station?

Yes, and it is our speciality. Your flight is tracked live: waiting starts at actual landing, with 60 minutes included. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board. At stations, a precise meeting point is sent to you by text.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Cancellation is free and fully refunded up to 24 hours before pickup. The pickup date can be changed on its own from the “My booking” page, without rebooking. Inside that window, call us.
