Beauvais Airport to Paris: shuttle, train, taxi compared
Beauvais is about 85 to 90 km north of Paris, so the only sensible choice for most people is the official Aérobus shuttle to Porte Maillot. The bus and TER train to Gare du Nord is cheaper but slower and stops running early in the evening. A taxi or pre-booked car only makes sense for a group, a late flight or a hotel far from Porte Maillot.

TrainBus 6 to Beauvais station, then TER to Gare du Nord
- €8–€16 (estimate)
- 2 h 5 min
- 05:14–20:09
- → Paris Gare du Nord
Line 6 runs about every 30 minutes through the day to Beauvais town centre and the station, and a day ticket is 1 euro bought from the driver or by contactless card. The TER takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to Gare du Nord and fares start from about 7 euros according to SNCF Connect, rising on the day, so allow up to 15 euros. SNCF Connect lists the first train from Beauvais at 05:14 and the last at 20:09. You carry the bags at both ends and change from bus to train, so it is a slow choice with big suitcases. It only works if you land in the afternoon and are not arriving late.

The same trip in a different situation
Arriving late at night
The Aérobus leaves Beauvais until about 23:30 and waits for delayed flights, so most late arrivals are covered. The TER from Beauvais stops far earlier, with the last train listed at 20:09 and bus 6 not meant for late arrivals. A taxi runs all night at the higher night rate of about 230 euros, and a pre-booked car is cheaper and fixed in advance. On a late landing, take the shuttle if it runs and check how you will get from Porte Maillot to your hotel, otherwise book a car.
See the comparison →4 people, 4 suitcasesTravelling as a group of four
For four people, the Aérobus costs 71.60 euros online, with each person carrying a bag. The bus and TER combination comes to about 32 to 64 euros but means two changes with bags. A pre-booked sedan for three from about 125 euros is less than the taxi at 185 euros by day and takes you to the door. For three people with luggage, a car at about 125 euros is about 42 euros each against 17.90 on the shuttle. For four or five, ask for a larger car.
