CDG to montreuil

Please advice b/w bolt, freenow and uber.

  • Uber shows about 70 $ to travel. are the other apps better? easier to use? Faster service?
  • we have 4 passengers and about 6 bags total. 2 big and 4 cabin bags.

any other suggestions via public transport also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

It is not in Paris so the set cab fare would not apply. $70 strikes me as a pretty fair price. The fixed fare to Paris near there is 65E so about $70. It would cost each person 13 Euro to go by train from the airport and there would be a couple of transfers. Metro stations all have stairs so don't do that if you can't easily handle your luggage on stairs.

FWIW. Uber Bolt etc are awkward to use from the airport. Another option is to just go get a cab. It would be on the meter. There are plenty of van cabs at the airport.

Sorry, Montreuil is north and east of me, so the nearest taxi price if Montreuil were in Paris would be 56€, not €65.

€70 seems high to me - I basically go through / past Montreuil when going to/from CDG, and I usually pay maybe €37 on Bolt, I feel like. Montreuil is one of the closer suburbs as far as CDG is concerned. Then again, you are a group of four, so that obviously brings it up a bit.

Maybe try with Bolt, but I don't know if it will be much better.

so the consensus is just take a cab from the airport. give the address to the driver and he should take us there. anything to watch out so we are not "taken for a ride" lol.

Are all cabs same color? apologies for my ignorance.
Also is there a universal train/metro/bus public transportation pass for about 3/4 days that i can buy?

Appreciate you asking this, been wondering the same for my own trip. Didn’t realize Bolt and FreeNow might be better than Uber. Super helpful.
