Most reliable transport app from a Paris apt. to CDG.

I'm looking for fellow travellers' advice on a TRULY RELIABLE app for getting from a rental apartment in Paris to CDG for a noon-ish flight back home.

Uber has proved unreliable one too many times for me (standing in front of my (now locked) AirBB, with all my bags piled around me, is not the time to have Uber cancel TWO rides to CDG in a row!)

I'm a long-time traveller to Paris, and speak reasonably good French, but using rental apartments (instead of hotels) makes it trickier to get a cab to CDG. Hence the need for truly reliable apps.

What do you suggest, and why?

Many thanks, everyone!

Merry

I suggest the G7 taxi app BUT morning trips (6-10 AM) should be booked 1-2 days in advance as demand is high.
It's the app I use all the time. The fare to CDG is flat: EUR 55 (right bank) or 62 (left bank) + 7 booking fee.

I agree with the suggestion of G7. Why? They have never canceled on me ever. And as a real taxi, they have access to the bus lanes which Uber does not. I suggest that given that you are staying at an apartment that you be outside 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up time, especially if there is no convenient spot for the driver to pull over and wait for you.

we do this at least twice a year and have for many years and always get a G7 taxi; they have always arrived a few minutes ahead and always been reliable. I phone on the English speaking line two days ahead to book the reservation. I used to book the night before but a couple of years ago they didn't have a cab available, so now I do it two days ahead. It costs 7 Euro to reserve but this is imperative for an airport run; you cannot count on one last minute. the price is fixed. 62 from left bank and 55 from right bank.

Apartments are not more difficult than hotels for this; we always stay in an apartment and have never had a problem with taxis to the airport. I still build in an extra half hour because I am that way -- but we then always have too much time at the airport.

G7, reserving a few days ahead, as everyone here has said.
