Direct shuttles from CDG to Paris flat

I saw some earlier forums regarding transportation from CDG airport into Paris. Someone mentioned Paris Shuttle, but I can’t find them on the internet by that name. We are staying in a flat near rue Montorgueil. I would like to be dropped off nearby the flat, since we’ll have luggage, and, I prefer not to take the Roissy Bus to the Opera and then the metro.
It is also a day of the rail strike.

Can anyone recommend a good and reliable shuttle service, and give the name and/or the link? I don’t mind if they drop off a couple of other people first.

Rue Montegueil is right next to the north exit from the Les Halles RER station. But if that is not your cup of tea, a taxi is flat rate for 50 EUR right to your door (if the street is open). Taxis are good and reliable as long as you use the official taxi rank.

I would avoid any shuttle or mode of transportation designed exclusively for tourists, you´ll pay more than you need to pay. Do what residents do, take a taxi from the official taxi queue. Avoid hustlers operating from within the terminals.

OP did say it's the day of a rail strike. The RER 'B' has been running a much-reduced service from the airport, and anyone going further south than the Gare Du Nord has had to change trains there as they're running the line in two sections (north of GDN, south of GDN). Getting on the train at the airport won't be a hassle, but Rue Montorgueil is north Les Halles, and the Châtelet Les Halles RER stop means they will be with the people needing to change trains if they went that route.

We have used Inter Shuttle Prestige several times.

My point about overpaying made very clear. Plus Inter misrepresents and overstates the official taxi prices on their website.

Thanks to all for your responses. Les Halles is at the south end of the street and the apartment is a few blocks away at the north end, so with toting luggage, I’m not much interested in that. I thought that the taxi just might be the way to go. Then my husband reminded me that we had used Super Shuttle a few years ago, and they were reliable. I looked them up and they said that it’s €40 for the 2 of us, on a shared ride.

So does anyone have experience with using them of late?

I'd go with a taxi for door-to-door service.
Flat rates are in effect for 55 EU for the Right Bank and there's no luggage fee.
For the 2 of you, it won't matter what you pay, since you've gotten your tickets already.

Shuttles are very slow - and they don't have the access for the Bus lane for taxis.

Good point about the taxis being faster than the shuttles. I forgot that the bus lanes can be used by taxis, but not shuttles. Our flight arrives at 5:17pm, so once we get through immigration and customs, it could still be heavy traffic hours (that is, if there is still a time a day when there isn’t heavy traffic).

Do the taxis take credit cards right there at the airport or on arrival to one’s destination? Is there a long wait for them? Is there an extra charge for luggage? Is the tip included?

Is there any other information or comments that anyone has to offer?

taxis from CDG are 50 to the right bank. If you do book a shuttle never pay in advance. If they don't show they will not be returning your money; it will always be your fault --or so I have repeatedly read in on line forums where people who have experienced this report.

Taxis may or may not take credit cards so be prepared for cash.
55 EU is the correct tarif to go to the Right Bank.
Be sure to print out the address and Postal Code for the driver.
You don't have to tip the driver unless he helps with the luggage.
And you won't wait very long.

from the CDG website:

"Taxis fares. A taxi package is applied for the way from the capital to Paris airports and vice versa. Between Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and Paris "right bank": €50.
Between Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and Paris "left bank": €55."

Since the right bank is the side closest to CDG and the left bank the furthest this makes perfect sense.

Thanks again for all of your advice! I guess I’ll make sure to have Euros on hand to cover the fare.

Good idea about having the address and postal code printed out too!
