Shuttle bus
You park the car yourself and a transfer bus runs you to the terminal. Usually the cheapest per day, and the one that needs the most slack in your timings — budget for the wait as well as the ride, in both directions.

Paris
A terminal at Charles de Gaulle may go by a lettered name or by a plain number, because Paris Aéroport has announced a terminal renumbering; the tips match one style to the other. The airport lies north-east of Paris, and the free CDGVAL automatic train links its main terminals.

Airport guide: Paris Charles de Gaulle
Driving to the airport
The A1 motorway from Paris connects directly with the airport, and the A3, the A104 and the N2 also lead to it. For a drop-off, follow the Drop-off CDG signs from the A1, the N2 or the D902, then the drop-off signs for your terminal.
Terminals
This guide uses the lettered terminal names: Terminal 1, Terminal 3 and Terminal 2, a string of halls lettered 2A to 2G; the tips list the plain numbers that replace them. The free CDGVAL automatic train links Terminal 1, Roissypôle beside Terminal 3, the PR and PX car parks and the station in the middle of Terminal 2. Free N1 and N2 shuttle buses connect the Terminal 2 halls, and 2G is reached by the N2 from 2F.
Drop-off and pick-up
Every terminal has a drop-off zone right by its departures and arrivals entrances. Each stop is free for a short initial period, after which a rising charge applies, and a car left beyond the time limit is towed. The covered car park at each terminal also starts with a short free period, and the airport recommends these car parks for longer waits.
The airport’s own car parks
Paris Aéroport runs car parks next to every terminal, including P1 beside Terminal 1, with premium spaces closest to the buildings. For longer stays, the economy car parks PW ECO, PR ECO and PX ECO lie outside the terminal area and are linked to all terminals by free shuttles; PR and PX are also stops on the CDGVAL. The car parks beside the Terminal 2 halls and Terminal 3 take new names with the terminal renumbering, while P1, PR, PW and PX keep theirs.
Without a car
RER B serves the airport at Roissypôle, next to Terminal 3 and a CDGVAL ride from Terminal 1, and at a station in the middle of Terminal 2 shared with TGV high-speed trains. The line crosses central Paris, calling at Gare du Nord and Châtelet. Express bus 9517, formerly the RoissyBus, connects the airport with metro line 14 at Saint-Denis Pleyel, and Noctilien buses N140 and N143 run at night.
Good to know
Under Paris Aéroport’s renumbering, the lettered names map onto plain numbers: Terminal 1 keeps its number, Terminal 3 becomes Terminal 2, 2A and 2C become Terminal 3, 2B and 2D become Terminal 4, and 2E, 2F and 2G become Terminals 5, 6 and 7. Because a plain Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 means a different building in each style, confirm yours in the airport’s flight information.

How Parkena lists
Choosing a car park at Paris Charles de Gaulle
Parkena is not a directory of every space near Paris. It shows car parks an operator has put on sale and a Parkena reviewer has approved — and it prices them only for the dates you give it.
Listing
Approved operators only
A car park reaches this site once its operator has been approved by a Parkena reviewer, is still active, and has finished setting the lot up. All three are re-checked in the database every time results are asked for, so a listing that stops meeting any of them stops appearing.
Pricing
A price for your stay, never a headline rate
Your price depends on your exact dates, so enter your drop-off and pick-up and you will see the total for that stay — worked out from the operator’s own rate plan, in the currency that operator settles in. Before you name a stay there is no price to show, and that is why this page carries no “from” figure anywhere on it.
Charging
The amount is recomputed before it is charged
The total you agreed to is the total you are charged. Your price is never carried in the link: the booking page asks for it again, and the database works it out once more inside the same transaction that writes your reservation, then checks it against the figure you were shown. Match, and you are booked; differ by anything at all, and the booking is refused rather than quietly re-priced — so you are never charged a figure you were not shown.
Not claimed
What Parkena does not yet know about CDG
You will not find a transfer time or a distance to Departures for any car park at Paris Charles de Gaulle here: none has been mapped to a terminal yet, and Parkena will not print a number nobody has measured. What you can rely on is where they are — every listing appears because it is in or near Paris, and the results page says so on itself.
What is listed here
See what is available at Paris Charles de Gaulle
Give Parkena your drop-off and pick-up and it asks every approved operator in or near the city what that stay costs, right now. Nothing on this page is a quote; that page is where a quote comes from.
Check prices for your dates
Takes you to the search. Your drop-off and pick-up are what produce a price.
CDG
Illustration, not a map. Parkena lists car parks in and around Paris, and names each one and its operator on the results page.
Off-airport parking
Getting from the car park to the terminal
Off-airport parking comes in three shapes and they change the whole shape of your morning. Every listing at Paris Charles de Gaulle states the handover — whether the car park takes your keys or you keep them — and the operator’s own arrival instructions — there before you book, and on your booking afterwards — tell you how you reach Departures.
Walk to terminal
The car park is close enough to walk in from. No bus, no waiting, and no transfer to get wrong on the way back at midnight. Typically the dearest of the three, and worth it with light luggage or a tight connection.
Attended handover
You hand the keys over on arrival and someone else parks the car. Every listing states whether a car park takes your keys or leaves them with you — that is the one fact about the handover the platform actually records.

Questions, answered
How much does parking at Paris Charles de Gaulle cost?
Prices depend on your dates. Enter your drop-off and pick-up in the search at the top of this page and every approved operator near Paris quotes that exact stay from its own rate plan, in the currency it settles in. That is also why there is no “from” figure for Paris Charles de Gaulle on this site: a car park has no price until somebody names a stay, and no operator has agreed to one.
How are the days counted?
A started day is a charged day. A stay of exactly 24 hours is one day; 24 hours and one minute is two. That is why we ask for times, not just dates.
How do I get from the car park to the terminals at Paris Charles de Gaulle?
Each listing at Paris Charles de Gaulle states how the car changes hands — you park it yourself, or an attendant takes it — and the operator's own arrival instructions carry the rest. Parkena does not publish a transfer time or a distance for any car park, because the operator platform records neither; every listing shows what the operator declared and nothing else.
Can I charge an electric car, or hand the keys over, at Paris Charles de Gaulle?
Only if the operator says so. A listing at Paris Charles de Gaulle shows the facilities and the handover its operator has confirmed, and the search page lets you filter on them. An empty facilities list means unknown, not hidden — Parkena never fills one in.
Can I cancel or change a parking booking at Paris Charles de Gaulle?
Cancellation works the same for every listing: the booking page shows the free-cancellation window and the processing fee in full before you confirm, and the terms recorded on your booking stay as recorded even if they change later. To cancel, look the booking up at /booking with your reference and the email you booked with — that works any time before check-in. Cancelling inside the free window refunds the total minus the processing fee; cancelling after it keeps the total instead, exactly as not arriving at all would. To change a booking, Parkena cannot help — new dates or a different car park is a fresh booking. The one exception is the vehicle registration, which you can correct at /booking until your stay begins.
How far ahead do I need to book at Paris Charles de Gaulle?
That is each operator's own rule. Some car parks at Paris Charles de Gaulle need notice before a stay starts and some set a minimum or maximum length; Parkena applies those rules when it quotes, so a stay the operator cannot accept is shown as not bookable, with the reason, rather than quoted and refused later.
