Airport shuttle or a cab?

After reading a multitude of reviewes for both options, I need to take a survey, please:

Cab to the hotel for CDG - how much (Latin Quarter)? Easy to catch at the airport?

Shuttle service - what is the flight is delayed? How do you know where to catch one? Do they have a board with your name?

Please give pros or cons for either. Running out of time!

Taxi to Latin Quarter will cost 40-55Euro, depending on time of day, day of week, traffic, etc.

Shuttles - I believe you give them your flight information when you book, and they are not waiting for you anyway - you call them before you collect your bags so they will have time to head to the terminal while you%26#39;re getting your bags.

No one comes inside to greet you - you go out a certain door (%26quot;porte%26quot;) that they give you to find the van.

These comments are based on my prior experience, mostly with Parishuttle.com

travelforever,

As I indicated in a recent post, it%26#39;s a cab for me for

a variety of reasons.

We took a taxi to and from the airport and liked the ease and convienience. To give you an idea, we arrived on Wednesday around 11:30 a.m. and there was no que at all at the taxi line.

cab was easy.Just follow the signs and get in line- it%26#39;s very organised. Be prepared though- the taxis area is not right outside baggage claim- you will walk through the airport a bit.

For the trip home, we called the G7 taxi service the evening before- their dispatchers speak English- their guy was on time at 8:30 AM the next morning with the appropriate sized vehicle for the four of us and luggage. Easy as pie.

We were in Paris for over 3 weeks- used mostly buses- sometimes metro or taxis from taxi ranks- but occasionally needed door-to-door service since my Dad had a broken foot- G7 was a great number to have in my pocket. They always showed up very quickly. 01-41-27-66-99
