Beauvois airport is located in Tillé, about 85 kilometers north of Paris. It is known as the third airport in Paris, after Charles de Gaulle and Orly(Here I tell you how to get to the city from Charles De Gaulle airport how to get to Paris from Orly airport) because most of its users have the French capital as their final destination.

Interesting facts

• Price: The price varies, depending on factors such as the vehicle you choose.

For example, a round-trip service can cost approximately 300€ in a vehicle that seats three people with three pieces of luggage. The service includes airport pick-up and personalized transfer directly to your hotel or apartment. Depending on the offer, it may or may not include free waiting time.

If you choose a vehicle for more people, such as a 15-seater minibus, the price of the private transfer increases and can cost more or less 550€.

• Duration of the trip: The road trip between Beauvois airport and Paris is about one hour and twenty minutes. These services include a ride to the door of your accommodation, so the trip inside Paris may increase the journey time.
• Intermediate stops: Some private transfer services include in the price several stops within the same city. You may be interested if you are traveling with a group but staying in different hotels.
• Is it necessary to make a reservation? Yes, it is a personalized service, so they need your arrival information, number of passengers and place of destination in advance.

There is a shuttle bus service that runs directly between the airport and the capital. Departure times, both from Paris and from the airport, are adapted to those of the airlines. This detail makes this option very convenient for travelers: no need to leave in plenty of time or wait for long hours in an airport lounge.

This option is also economical; adults pay approximately €29 for a round trip and children (up to 11 years of age) pay approximately €20. And for the youngest children (up to 4 years old) the trip is free.

If your itinerary is not yet fully booked and you have not decided when to return, you can redeem the return trip up to 12 months after the purchase of the ticket.
Or, if you prefer, you can buy a one-way ticket only. The price is in line with the round trip, it is not more expensive: adults pay in this case about € 15 and children about € 10.

Useful information

• Timetable: There is a wide choice of bus routes between the airport and Paris, and they coincide with flight arrivals and departures.

The first departure from Paris is at 03:10 am and arrives at the airport at 04:25 am. Thereafter, there are departures almost every hour, although I advise you to check the schedules on their website, because being coordinated with the airlines they are not regular. They make it very easy for you: next to the departure time, they indicate for which flight the route is intended.

Departures in the opposite direction, from the airport to Paris, start at 08:30 and arrive at Maillot at 09:45. The page also tells travelers which flight each bus is going to.

• Price: For adults, the round trip costs about 29€ and for children about 20€. A single trip is about half the price: Approximately 15€ for adults and 10€ for children. For small children (up to 4 years) the trip is free of charge.
• Duration of the trip: On both routes, the trip lasts about one hour and fifteen minutes. However, keep in mind that it is a bus, and that road trips are subject to traffic problems.
• Intermediate stops: None. Most airport users go to Paris, so this route to the capital is direct. Very convenient.
• Do I need to book? I recommend that you reserve your ticket. You can buy them directly at the ticket office, but you risk that there are no seats available or that there will be a queue and you will miss the bus.

If you plan to travel during your trip to Paris by car, there are several companies that offer car rental directly at the airport such as Europcar, Avis, Budget or Hertz.

The advantage of this option is the flexibility it gives you: you can start your trip as soon as you get off the plane, make as many stops as you want and arrive directly from the airport to your accommodation, without having to take the Paris metro or other means of transport once you arrive in the city.

You can check the models available for your travel dates online. There is a range of economy cars, but luxury vehicles or even motorhomes are also available.

You can rent a car at Beauvais airport and return it at the same place the following week for approximately 500€. As the range improves and the vehicle's priorities increase, the price can go up to around 1.800€.

One thing to be aware of is that there are two places where you can pick up your rented car at Beauvais airport, depending on the company you choose: in parking lot 3 and in an area set up for this purpose in front of terminal 2, between the bus station and the parking lots. Ask for directions from the company you rent from or follow the signs that read "Car rental" or a silhouette of a car with a key on top of it.

From Paris Gare du Nord you can take a regional train to Beauvois SNCF station. The trip takes one hour and thirty minutes, but it is not direct, so although it has the advantage of being an economical option, it is not very practical. It may be worthwhile if your hotel in Paris is at the Gare du Nord.

Once you arrive at the Beauvois train station, there is still a long way to the airport, which you can travel by bus or cab. In the first case, you have to add to the price of your trip the cost of the bus line 6 (it is a public transport, so the price is about 1 €) and about 30 minutes of travel. Buses leave both the train station and the airport twice an hour, between 7:30 and 19:18.

The cheapest fare (between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.) between these two points can cost you 170€. If you travel at night, you can pay up to 200€.
