Bonjour! Our party of 4 will arrive at 10:30 a.m. at CDG, T2 on Saturday, April 20. Our rental car pickup will be in T1. Rick Steves says it may take 1 one hour just to get to T1. Anyone have experience doing this? Do we go pick up baggage and then go through customs in T2 and then try to find our way over to T1 on a train? Will that be clearly marked after we go through customs? I am just worried about having to circle back and find T1 after going through customs. Thank you for any ideas!

We have picked up rental cars at CDG. Go through immigration (not customs). Get your bags before going to get the car. After you have the car you will leave CDG. You don't want to be driving around the airport any more than necessary.

Thank you, Tom. What do you mean when you say "you may need a card." Wouldn't that be something provided by the rental car company? And do you mean it will be interesting to read all the signs in French? We have some knowledge but with the stress of the car rental, leaving, I hope not to have this stress as well. I appreciate your insight and help!

Can you change your reservation to pick up your car at Terminal 2 since you arrive there? If it's reserved through Autoeurope it's easy for them to make that change.
