Paris airport - BEE shuttle
 
Hi.I am trying to decide which shuttle service to use from Charles de Gaulle airport.
Has anyone used the BEE Shuttle service? It is cheaper than the Airport Connection service, but you have to give your credit card number online when reserving, and I am a bit hesitant about that.
I would appreciate any feedback on this service.
Thanks.

I used Bee Shuttle in June, for private transfers in and out. They were the cheaper I could find for such a service. I had a 7 seats van for the transfer CDG- Rue Sainte Beuve, and a 9 seats van for the transfer hotel/Orly. They charged me 52 Euro for the first transfer, and 58 for the second.

Both cars were new and in very good condition. The drivers were polite, but one of them spoke only little English. Nevertheless,the drive to the hotel was uneventful, as was our trip hotel/Orly

I hope it helps,

We used Bee shuttle on July 5 at CDG and their service was excellent. We did give our credit card as a deposit, but ended up paying cash and it was not problem. We arrived 45 minutes earlier than planned and when I called they said that although we were early, it would not be a problem. The attendant had me stay on the phone while he spoke to the driver (so I knew the driver had been contacted). The attendant then said the driver would be there in 3 minutes. When we stepped out of the terminal, the driver was there. Very helpful driver, loaded our bags in and drove us straight to the hotel muguet. We were the only ones in the van which was very clean. From the time we landed at CDG and got to the hotel was less than one hour so it was an excellent experience. Cost for 4 people was 37 euros (they did not charge for my daughter and my son was half price). Bee shuttle may have been cheaper than the other shuttle services, the we found them to be excellent and would use them again.

If Surlok paid 52E for one person he/she could have taken a cab for that price.

I assumed from Surlok's post that there was a good reason for hiring a private shuttle, especially the mention of it having 7-9 seats. That would be a good price for a private driver if you had a lot of people.

Christina is right. We were 3 adulst and 2 children, plus a lot of luggage for the transfer CDG/hotel Sainte Beuve, and 4 adults, 2 children, and even more luggage for the transfer hotel/Orly.

FYI, I used once Paris Shuttle, often recommended on this board when I was by myself about a year ago, and I didn't like it. I had to wait for about 20 mins for the van, besides having to call their number twice because the car was taking too long.

Whenever I need a transfer service in Paris, I'll undoubtedly use Bee Shuttle. They are good, and the price is good, too.

Has anyone used the airport shuttle instead of the private? i am travelling to Paris next September with my daughter and the private shuttle will turn the same price as a cab.
I saw the price of the airport shutlle wasn't high but do you think we will have to wait long at the airport for other passengers to arrive?
Thanks in advance:)
