recommended airport shuttle / limo service in Paris?
 
Looking into a shuttle service for our trip to Paris. Any recommendations, experiences, problems or pitfalls to watch for would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely Shuttle-Inter. They are waiting for you with a private car so no stopping and dropping otherpeople. Also you do not have to lacate a phone to call them, they will be right outside the exit with a sign with your name on it.

I honestly think it MIGHT depend on where IN Paris you are headed.

We've used taxis, private cars, shuttles, and the Air France bus...and will use the later again in September because we are going to Gare de Lyon...but obviously up to you

We used Shuttle-Inter last month and were quite pleased. They responded to emails promptly and were waiting for us as promised with a clean van with plenty of room for our luggage.

I have been using Shuttle-Inter fo several years. Recently returned from a month in Paris. They picked me up upon arrival and for departure as always..right there!! I took a few days down to Provence and they also took me Gare de Lyon and picked me up there upon my return.

I will be using them, of course, in the fall when I return.

You asked a generic question about shuttles so here's a generic response:
Shared shuttles are dicey because you risk having to wait at the airport for the van to fill up with arriving passengers and then sit on board while it makes its rounds dropping off at several locations. Some report that they did just fine, most have other stories to tell. By the time you pay for 2 or more passengers cost approaches that of a private shuttle or cab.
Air France bus - info at http://tinyurl.com/dyvust great way to get from CDG to Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse, Etoile or Porte Maillot from which you walk, metro or cab to your destination.
Private shuttle - no waiting for pick up or drop off of other passengers. Depending on number in party may be about same cost as cab but no risk of the meter running up if stuck in traffic. Not all created equal so pay attention to feedback here on specific companies.
Taxi - easiest, just walk to the curb and get in. Fare depends on destination, usually 50 euro or so, but metered so can be more if traffic is bad.

More specific response - echo gracejoan that shuttle/Inter is good. Have used them a couple times and been quite pleased.

Shuttle-Inter is a private shuttle service, no calls to make.

I used Shuttle-Inter upon the suggestion of this forum and was very happy. I would recommend them.

Based on GraceJoan3's recommendation, I used shuttle-inter in May. Couldn't have been more pleased and their prices are very reasonable compared to other car services.
