Distance: 84 kmTypical driving time: 75-90 min
Paris-Beauvais is not in Paris. The airport is at Beauvais-Tillé in the Oise, 84 kilometres north of the capital, and the drive takes 75 to 90 minutes on the A16. Ryanair, Wizz Air and other low-cost carriers sell it as a Paris airport, and many passengers only discover the distance when they land.
That distance is why the ground transport question matters more here than at Charles de Gaulle or Orly. There is an official coach to Porte Maillot on the western edge of Paris, costing €17.90 at the desk or €16.90 booked online, running roughly every thirty minutes and timed around flight arrivals. It is inexpensive and it works. What it does not do is wait: coaches are scheduled around the timetable, not around your flight, and a late arrival can mean well over an hour in the terminal before the next departure.
Beauvais also handles a high share of very early and very late flights, because low-cost carriers use the slots nobody else wants. A 6.25 a.m. departure means leaving Paris around 3.30 in the morning, and an 11 p.m. arrival lands you at the terminal when public transport options have thinned out. A pre-booked private car is often the only way to make those work, and it is the main reason travellers choose one on this route.
The drive itself is straightforward: the A16 motorway south through the Oise, joining the A115 and the northern approaches to Paris. Traffic is reliable outside the morning peak, and the last twenty minutes into the city are the only part likely to slow you down. We quote a fixed price for the whole car, so a slow approach costs you nothing extra.
We drop you anywhere in Paris, at the address you give us, including hotels on pedestrian streets where the driver stops at the nearest legal point and helps with the bags. Departures from Paris to Beauvais work the same way, with the pickup time calculated backwards from your check-in deadline rather than from the coach timetable.
Beauvais has two small terminals, T1 and T2, sharing one arrivals area. Your driver waits just outside the arrivals exit with a name sign, a short walk from either terminal building. The airport is compact enough that you will see the driver as you come through.
We would rather you booked with the full picture. Here is what else is available on this route and what each option really costs you.
| Option | Price | Time | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official airport coach to Porte Maillot | €17.90 at the desk, €16.90 booked online | 75-90 minutes, plus the wait for a departure | Departures roughly every 30 minutes, timed around flights. Cheap and reliable, but it drops everyone at Porte Maillot on the city edge, from which most travellers still need the metro with their luggage. |
| Train from Beauvais station | Fare set by SNCF, varies by service | About 1h15 to Gare du Nord, plus getting to the station | The station is several kilometres from the airport, so you need a taxi or bus first. Works well if your flight lands in the middle of the day; not at 6 a.m. or 11 p.m. |
| Metered taxi from the rank | Metered, and long-distance runs are charged accordingly | 75-90 minutes | Beauvais is far outside the regulated Paris flat-rate zone, so there is no capped fare and the total is unpredictable before you set off. |
Paris-Beauvais is 84 kilometres north of Paris, in the Oise département. By road on the A16 the journey takes 75 to 90 minutes depending on the time of day. Despite the name, it is not a Paris airport in any practical sense.
Our price is €180 for a van carrying up to seven passengers, tolls included. That is an indicative fare confirmed as a fixed price before you book. The official coach costs €17.90, or €16.90 online, per person to Porte Maillot.
Per person, yes, and we say so plainly. The trade-offs are that it runs to a timetable rather than to your flight, it terminates at Porte Maillot rather than your address, and for a group of four with luggage the price gap narrows considerably.
Yes, and those are the bookings we see most on this route. Low-cost carriers use early and late slots at Beauvais, which is exactly when coach and train options are thinnest. We schedule the pickup backwards from your check-in deadline.
Both. T1 and T2 are small buildings sharing a single arrivals area, and the driver waits at the arrivals exit with a name sign. You do not need to tell us the terminal; we take it from your flight.
