Travelling with elderly parents to Disneyland Paris is a lovely way to share the magic across the generations, but the transfer from the airport needs a little extra thought. Long walks, stairs and crowded platforms can turn a simple trip into a real challenge for older travellers. A private door-to-door transfer removes those obstacles entirely, and this guide explains how to make the journey comfortable and unhurried.
Why the RER is hard work for older travellers
The RER B and A combination from CDG involves a change at Châtelet–Les Halles, one of the busiest interchanges in Paris, with stairs, escalators and long walks between platforms. Over 60-90 minutes, with luggage and tired legs, that is a great deal to ask. A private transfer covers the same 38km in around 45 minutes, with no changes, no platforms and no rush. Your parents simply get in once and get out at the hotel.
A driver who helps, at your pace
Our English-speaking drivers provide meet-and-greet, so there is a friendly face waiting with a name board rather than a scramble to find a taxi. They help with luggage and assist elderly passengers in and out of the vehicle, taking the time that older travellers need. Because we track your flight and include free waiting, nobody is hurried through arrivals.
- Meet-and-greet with help for luggage and boarding.
- Free waiting time so there is no pressure on slower-moving travellers.
- Room in the boot for a folding wheelchair or walking frame.
Mobility aids and adapted vehicles
A folding wheelchair, rollator or walking frame travels easily in the boot of a saloon, which seats up to three passengers. If your parents are travelling with the whole family, a minivan seating 7-8 keeps everyone together. For a passenger who needs to stay in their wheelchair, wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be arranged on request, so do let us know your needs when you book.
A predictable, fixed price
The fare is fixed with no meter, from €70 from CDG and from €90 from Orly, with a 10% saving on a return. A predictable price and a single comfortable journey mean you can focus on enjoying the trip with your parents rather than worrying about the logistics. Our service runs 24/7, so an early or late flight is no obstacle.
