Has anyone used intaxi.com Beauvais to Paris city centre?

    I came across this website when looking for transfers from beauvais to paris city centre. From what I can gather, the shuttle costs €16 one way. So a return journey for 4 is €128 and that website gives me a quote for €130 for a private taxi for the same. It sounds like a no brainer when I have 2 kids to schlep around public transport. But I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    First time to paris w kids and we're staying near at Jacques/Latin quarter.

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find any previous posts (cos I'm useless like that)

    Thanks!

    That would be 130 one way, so 260 return

    Although the Airport website says:
    Coût : environ 140-160 € par trajet au tarif de jour, et 160-180 € au tarif de nuit

    So around between 140 and 160 in the daytime depending on traffic and between 160 and 180 at night depending on traffic.

    I got to the final page and it said €130 total and it shows the return journey. Am I looking at it wrong? :( too good to be true then?

    We got a private taxi from cdg to Disney land. Cost 70 each way for family - well worth it, they met us at arrivals and dropped us to the door and around the same price as the shuttle bus.
    Think he was called easy shuttle

    65 euros for 90 km with a Journey time of roughly 1hr - 1hr 30mins seems very cheap.

    If it was me I'd look at car rental with pickup at the airport and drop off at a depot close to my accommodation and the other way around on the way back.

    Saying that I don't know how comfortable you would be driving around Paris :)

    Really sorry if I'm not allowed to bump this thread but can't seem to find anything else about Intaxis.com, just wondering Sunmerdreamn did you use this company in the end? If so how were they?

    We used it in the end. It was €130 return, not each way. Extremely efficient service when I had 2 young children. No hassle and dropped door to door. I had to ring to change drop off point on a Sunday (the day before we were arriving) and they spoke English so no communication barrier and no hassle. Our pick up time for the flight back was 5am and they were on time. Would use again. My aunt from America who we met there booked the service while there as she had a broken ankle and it was hassle free.

    Excellent thanks for the reply! Yeah the website does seem professional just not many reviews. I am looking to go from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland and they are quoting €100 return for 2 people so €25 per person each way for a shared shuttle when the cheapest I found previous was €150-€250.

    Or €160 for the private taxi where the cheapest private shuttle I found was €240.

    Thanks for getting back!

    Just to update anyone looking to use this company, EXCELLENT!

    We used them from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris and they were waiting with my name on an IPad, dropped us right outside the hotel door.

    On the way back they arrived as stated on the transfer voucher and the drivers/vans were great. Can't fault them and were very very cheap compared to other shuttles!
