Hello!
Would appreciate any input on transfer ideas for a group of 9 that includes 3 children. Best to take separate taxis or is there a car service with good service? Last time with just my husband and I we got overcharges even though we got a car in the taxi line. Want to start our family vacation in a less sour note. Thank you for any help!

Oops sorry I didn’t give enough info. Need transport from Charles de Gaulle to the 16th arrondissement.. Looking at Welcome Pickups, would need to book two. Wondering if there are minivan type vehicles in taxi line. Our last trip we went to the taxi line, the worker directed us to a car to the right of the line—we didn’t think much of it but ended up paying 80 euros. Our Rick Steves guide was very angry on our behalf. Want to start the trip as stress free as possible.
Thanks!

Do the three children need car seats? If they don’t just take two maxi taxis from the taxi line. I know you were ripped off before but you know better now. Use the correct taxi line. There are arrows painted on the floor leading to it. Write the address and fixed fare on a piece of paper and give it to the taxi drivers after saying Bonjour. That way, you and they know that you know what is up. If the children need car seats, prearrange the rides at https://www.g7.fr/en/discover-our-services/taxi-g7-famille. I don’t know of any service that will be able to make this transfer of 9 people with one vehicle.
