Car Rental at Paris CDG Airport - For the Best of France

Located 25 kilometers (16 miles) north-east of Paris, L'aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle (better known internationally as Paris CDG) is a major air transportation hub located within easy reach of the French capital. Named after General Charles de Gaulle, wartime leader of the Free French Forces and later President of France, it is Europe's third-busiest airport (after London Heathrow and Istanbul) and carries over 70 million passengers annually to and from more than 300 different destinations around the world.

Sometimes referred to as Paris Roissy, CDG has three large terminals, 10 parking lots and a dozen hotels located in the immediate vicinity, with many more on the airport's outskirts. It currently operates with four runways, over 300 aircraft parking stands and is the main base of the national airline Air France and the main European hub of the Sky Team alliance. The airport is served by a very efficient road and railway network that provides quick and easy access for passengers all year round.

Steeped in centuries of history, Paris is a vibrant city whose charms extend well beyond its historic core. Few visitors can resist the chance to marvel at the Gothic splendor of Notre-Dame (the city's iconic cathedral), nor the enjoy thrill of a selfie right in front of the Eiffel Tower, one of the world's most striking landmarks. Art is everywhere in Paris but the magnetism of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa at the Louvre continues to draw travelers from all four corners of the world.

Paris is also the beating heart of a region brimming with tourist sights and attractions, making it a great destination for easy day-trips from the city at any time of the year.
