Why book a private transfer to The Ritz?
Pre-arranged with Ritz concierge
We confirm your arrival time directly with the Ritz concierge desk so the bellhop is in the courtyard the moment you pull in — no luggage left in the vehicle, no awkward wait.
Place Vendôme courtyard drop-off
Your chauffeur is briefed on the Ritz protocol for the Place Vendôme entrance, including alternate access via Rue Cambon for guests preferring a more discreet arrival.
Same chauffeur for your whole stay
Book by the day or by the week. Your assigned chauffeur knows your preferences after the airport transfer — language, route choices, music volume, AC setting.
Discretion as standard
Paparazzi avoidance for high-profile guests, NDA-signed drivers on request, tinted privacy glass and confidential arrival times — all included.
Fashion Week and Couture Week ready
We know the Place Vendôme security perimeters and Fashion Week road closures by heart. Your chauffeur plans alternate routes weeks in advance.
60 minutes free waiting after landing
Customs at CDG Terminal 2E can stretch to an hour at peak season. Your chauffeur waits at no extra charge with your name sign.

Ritz Paris — what a private transfer with KAR GO looks like
The Ritz Paris is one of the few hotels in the world that has lent its name to a verb. Booking a private transfer to the Ritz is a continuation of the standard you expect inside: discreet, polished, on time. KAR GO chauffeurs handle Ritz arrivals every week — they know which entrance to use depending on suite category, which door to brief the bellhops at, and how to coordinate quietly with the concierge for guests arriving outside standard check-in hours.
Because the Ritz has its own valet protocol at the Place Vendôme courtyard, our chauffeurs pull in unhurriedly, hand off your luggage to the bellhop personally, and clear the courtyard so the next guest is never blocked. For high-profile guests we coordinate confidential pickups via the Rue Cambon side entrance — a routine we run for media, fashion houses and family-office clients during Couture Week and Fashion Week.
Arriving at The Ritz — the Place Vendôme approach
The 1st arrondissement around Place Vendôme is one of the most coveted addresses in Paris. The Ritz sits between the Tuileries Garden, the Comédie-Française, and the haute joaillerie boutiques of Cartier, Boucheron and Chaumet. Driving guests in from the airport, our chauffeurs take the most discreet route through the 1st — typically via Rue de Rivoli at non-peak hours, or the river quais during heavy Place de la Concorde traffic.
If you are arriving for a wedding at the Ritz, a private dinner at L'Espadon, or a stay during one of the Fashion Weeks, mention this when booking and your chauffeur will plan around the closures and security perimeters that often surround Place Vendôme. We coordinate directly with Ritz security for ambassadors, royal family members and CEOs whose protection details require advance route briefings.
The Ritz private chauffeur — beyond the airport transfer
Most Ritz guests do not just need an airport transfer — they need a discreet, reliable driver for their entire stay in Paris. Our hourly chauffeur service from the Ritz covers shopping circuits (Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Avenue Montaigne, the Marais), private museum visits, evening dinners across the 7th and 8th arrondissements, and discreet drop-offs at the private clubs near Place Vendôme.
Day excursions are also popular: Versailles (about 1 hour from the Ritz via the western Périphérique), Giverny for Monet's gardens (1h15), or the Champagne vineyards around Reims and Épernay (1h30 to 2 hours). The same Mercedes V-Class waits at the Place Vendôme courtyard whenever you are ready — no surge pricing, no app, just your assigned chauffeur for the duration of your stay.

Everything you need to know about private chauffeur transfers between Paris airports and Ritz Paris.
A pre-booked private transfer is the fastest, most predictable option from Charles de Gaulle to Ritz Paris. KAR GO offers fixed-rate transfers in a Mercedes V-Class with an English-speaking chauffeur, real-time flight tracking, and 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. The drive takes 35 to 55 minutes door-to-door depending on traffic and time of day. Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals hall with a personalised name sign — no queues, no taxi rank.
Yes — for arrivals at Ritz Paris we confirm your ETA with the concierge desk directly so the bellhop is ready when you pull in. This is especially valuable for guests arriving outside standard check-in hours, for VIPs requiring discreet handover, and for stays where the suite needs to be staged before you walk in.
Yes — KAR GO offers continuity bookings where the same English-speaking chauffeur is assigned to you for the duration of your stay. After the airport transfer, your chauffeur knows your preferences (language, route choices, music, AC settings) and runs them automatically. Hourly bookings or day rates are available, with the same Mercedes V-Class waiting at the The Ritz valet whenever you call down.
Fixed rates start from €105 (Orly), €130 (CDG), €100 (Le Bourget), and €170 (Beauvais) for a Mercedes V-Class with English-speaking chauffeur.

For oversized items (golf bags, ski equipment, instruments) mention them in your booking notes and we will confirm capacity in advance.
Yes — we recommend booking your return transfer at the same time as your arrival, especially for tight departure schedules. We monitor your departure flight in case of schedule changes and pick you up from Ritz Paris 3 hours before international flight time (or 2 hours for European departures). Same chauffeur, same Mercedes V-Class, predictable pricing for both legs.
Yes — KAR GO serves every major Paris palace and 5-star Heritage hotel. Our chauffeurs handle inter-hotel transfers (typically under 10 minutes by V-Class), discreet evening pickups across the 1st, 8th and 16th arrondissements, and combined bookings if your trip spans multiple Paris addresses. Dedicated transfer pages exist for 4 neighbouring palaces — see the section below.
Ritz Paris is located at 15 Place Vendôme, 75001 Paris, in the 1st arrondissement. The district of Place Vendôme is one of the most central and most coveted addresses in Paris, with most major attractions, restaurants and luxury maisons within a 10 to 20 minute V-Class drive. Walking distances vary — your chauffeur or the concierge can advise on whether to walk or call for the car.
