Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport - Terminal 1 Guide

Car Hire

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is by far the largest of the three international airports serving the world's most visited tourism destination. This sprawling airport straddles three different departments in the middle of northern Paris, 14 miles northeast of the centre of France's capital. From the facility, passengers can reach Disneyland Paris theme park in just 10 minutes or central Paris in 40 minutes aboard one of the world's first integrated airport trains. Taxis and car rental in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport make the journey to central Paris in about 45 minutes, while a wide variety of buses are available.

Who to Book With
Sixt, Europcar and Avis are among the internationally famous car rental companies found within Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport’s terminals. One of these companies, Advantage, accepts online booking only, while others cater to one-the-spot rental. All car hire desks remain open between the first and final flights of each day.

Need to Know Essentials
Vehicle collection requires the following mandatory documents:

- A full driver’s licence, held for a period of 12 months or more
- A valid credit card
- A passport for foreign motorists

For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
Paris is a notoriously difficult city for driving and even most locals do not drive a vehicle here. Dense traffic, scarce parking, motorists who suddenly change lanes and jaywalking pedestrians are just some of the hazards motorists may encounter on the busy beltways and streets of France's capital. Motorists who hit pedestrians or cyclists who cross on red lights must assume responsibility for any damages. Paris Carte tickets must be purchased from tobacconist shops before drivers can use the city's pay-and-display parking system. Driving is far easier and more practical in Paris suburbs, such as the historic Fontainbleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte.

See our guide to France for more information on driving here.
