Getting from DeGaulle airport to hotel in 15th arr

What is the best way to get to a hotel in the 15th arrondissement from the airport? We will be 4 people with at least 4 pieces of luggage. We are thinking of either sharing a taxi or some kind of door to door shuttle transfer. Or maybe even a limo service who can meet and greet?
Do you know the approximate cost of a taxi and whether they charge more for luggage? And if they can accommodate all of us?

Thanks.

It would help if you have us the name of the hotel

I always ask the hotel, they should know this information and the costs

I always just grab a taxi from the airport... the attendant will ask how many people in your party and will flag a van large enough to accommodate everyone. Depending on when you get there, I'd count on at least 35 to 50 Euros. And yes, they do charge for luggage, around 1.5 per piece I think?

Grey Shuttle is fantastic. Ask for Jean-Michelle. You can google it Grey Shuttle Paris.

Great experience. Prompt communication,good rates you can pay cash or credit. Driver was on time to meet us when we arrived, and when he picked us up for our return trip.

You can get a cab at the airport that will be large enough for you and luggage (and yes, luggage is extra - the driver will have a list of prices to show you).

Arranging a shuttle through the hotel - or getting a "meet and greet" will probably double your cost.

I think all of your ideas would work -- taxi or shuttle or private car (I wouldn't worry about a limo per se, they may cost more, do you really need a limo?)

I'd take a taxi. The far will probably be between 45 and 55 euros, depending on traffic. There is a 3 euro supplement for the 4th passenger and a 1 euro per piece charge for luggage. As Ruby99 mentioned the taxi dispatcher will match you with a taxi that will accommodate your group and your luggage. There is no extra charge for larger taxis. I think that there is also a surcharge for taxis between midnight on Saturday night and 7 am Sunday morning so if your flight lands around then, add 20% to your estimate of the cost.

Taxi is the best way to go for your party for sure. Avoid anyone who comes up to you in the terminal offering a ride. These are not licensed cab drivers.

In the event you still insist on arranging something in advance, do yourself a favour and *do not* pay up front.
