The 85 km distance between Beauvais-Tille Airport and Paris means transport costs are higher than you might expect from a "Paris" airport. Here is what you will actually pay. Shuttle fares below are the airport's own published Aérobus prices; taxi fares are metered on the Oise prefecture tariff and cannot be quoted as a flat figure.

The real cost of "cheap" flights to Beauvais
Budget airlines offer flights to BVA at attractive prices, but the true cost includes the transfer. Consider this: a Ryanair flight saving you 50 EUR over a CDG flight costs you at minimum 29.90 EUR round-trip in shuttle tickets alone — plus about three hours of additional travel time.
For two adults and two children aged 4–11, a return on the shuttle is 99.60 EUR at online fares. A private transfer both ways costs 200–320 EUR. Factor these numbers into your flight comparison.
Tips to minimize cost
- Buy shuttle tickets online in advance — a return is 29.90 EUR online against 35 EUR at the counter, and children aged 4–11 only get the 9.90 EUR fare online. Booking ahead also guarantees your seat.
- The train route via Beauvais SNCF station can be cheaper if you find a good TER fare, but the connection adds complexity.
- Share a private transfer — if you meet other travelers heading to Paris, splitting the cost brings it close to shuttle prices per person.
- Avoid taxis for solo travel — a metered 85 km run with tolls is hard to justify unless you have no other option.
- For groups of 3–4 people, a private transfer at 100–160 EUR works out to 25–40 EUR per person — competitive with shuttle + Metro when you consider the comfort difference.
When a private transfer from BVA is the right choice
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Beauvais City Center is from €34, about €9 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
- Going to a specific address rather than the main station: the car goes to the door, so the public-transport fare is not the whole cost of the trip.
- Arriving tired or late: the driver waits at arrivals with your name, included for 60 minutes after landing.
