Fake taxis at CDG are charging tourists 4x the real price!

Fake taxis at CDG are charging tourists up to four times the real price, and in this short video we show you how to avoid them when you land at Charles de Gaulle. It is a quick watch that can save you a lot of money and stress on arrival in Paris.

How to avoid fake taxis at CDG

• If someone tells you to go to gate 16 for a taxi, ignore them.
• Head to gate 10 instead.
• No real taxi driver will ever approach you inside the airport.

Our advice

Walk past anyone offering a ride inside the terminal and go straight to the official taxi line. If you prefer to skip the taxi line altogether, a pre-booked transfer means a driver will be waiting for you.
