Quick question re RStransports shuttle service

[tracy021083]

Just looking to book our shuttle for June and on looking at their website they have an offer for 2 adults and 2 children paris CDG - disney return for just 95.4 euros shared shuttle (seems a great price!) or 127 euros private transfer.
Priced up ezyshuttle which is 140 euros return.

Which would you book? Has anyone booked a shared shuttle before? If so did you end up sharing or not?
We land around midday and don't know whether to take the chance on the shared one and hope no one else is on it, otherwise bit worried its going to take hours to get to our disney hotel and i usually get travel sickness x

i always book the shared shuttle price with rstransports, and in half a dozen (at least) trips with them I've only shared once. Even then it was because we arrived earlier than expected at CDG, I called them and within less than 5 minutes they were with me.

it wont take hours even if you do share and have to wait for another group to join you before leaving the airport. You can just wait outside the taxi until the other group arrive. I wouldn't imagine it would take any longer than one hour total, including waiting for any other group to share your taxi. The journey with rstransports took 30 minutes for us last week.

Thanks for your help I think I might book the shared shuttle then as could do its saving the pennies where we can so we have more to spend at disney.
Can I just ask - I've been looking at the booking pages for rstransports and our return flight leaves paris CDG at 9pm and pick up was showing at 6pm from our hotel - does that sound right? I think it was early but couldn't tell if that's the norm or if its because it would be a shared shuttle.

Thanks x

We used ezyshuttle on our last trip which ive no complaints about but has seen rs now and going to book them. Its quite a saving as we pay our transfer out of our spending money
I think about 3 hours is about right considering you need to check in 2 hoursbefore your flight, better safe than sorry I always say!

We used RStransports from/to Beauvais and didn't have to share both ways. Good service, always on time, very helpful. Booked them for this trip too.

yes, with a shuttle service 3 hours before sounds right - in peak time by road it can take an hour to do the journey, and you are recommended to be at the airport 2 hours before your flight departure time. rstransports will want to play safe and make sure they get you there on time.

Thanks everyone
I've just looked at the rstransports site again to book and it says for the price:

Cash - 106 euros
Pay via bank - 95.4

Does anyone know why there is such a difference!? And is it ok paying by bank? Do they mean I would have to pay before travelling out there? Just thinking they might not turn up on the day if we have already paid.

i always pay them in advance, and have never had them not show up. If you'd feel safer, pay in cash to the driver.

I pay cash. I'm distrustful
