doesn't matter. If late night, taxi could be more available than Uber.

Taxi


flat rate - no surge pricing, and taxis can use the bus lane so youre spend less time sitting in traffic.

Agreed. But, I've experienced one or two unscrupulous drivers assuming I hadn't known about the flat fare and gone, or tried to, with the meter. Generally, I'll just tell them, flat fare on this side of the river, so don't f-around me.

since my French is not outstanding. I generally when I arrive at Charles de Gaulle have a piece of paper with the name of my hotel and the flat rate on it. And I hand it to the driver. Ive never had a problem doing that.

Is the late night taxi under the same flat fare arrangement as in the daytime, when going from CDG to central Paris?

In the opposite direction — say late night from around Trocadero — I’ve had no problem this year getting rather quick and cheap Bolt rides to take me to CDG. Bolt tends to be cheaper for me than Uber — c. 26-30 euros.

Arriving on the 18th Nov with wife and 18months old so likely avoiding the RER. Have seen the Xmas market is open at Tuileries which is a plus...
