Before travel, look at map to see satellite view of streets around Gare du Nord train station. Meeting place was a busy street with large bus traffic about 30 meters from station exit. Driver did not speak English as requested. Driver vehicle was smaller than requested; required luggage in passenger laps. Driver had to call supervisor to confirm that transport was paid via Viator.

We were met by our driver inside the train station. He was funny and kind, offered us air conditioning, and cold waters for the drive after a long journey. No hassle trying to get around at night. Would highly recommend.

"Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! We are thrilled our driver made your late-night arrival so comfortable and hassle-free. We hope to welcome you back soon!"
Easy private transfer in Paris! Both drivers we had were professional and had great communication on pick up/ drop off details.
Viator and the car company were very accommodating since our train was delayed 2 hrs. They only charged a nominal extra fee since we did not arrive at the destination on time.

Exactly where he said he would be and easy to find:) I booked last minute and they were able to accommodate very quickly and efficiently.
Easiest transfer ever. Our driver Hamlet was on time to pick us up at the trains station and promptly got us to our hotel.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Customer thank you for your kind words
I have never in my life had such an awful and unusual experience. Scammers on the streets yes…. But scammers through Viator never. The beginning of the experience was actually great. I booked the car. I received a WhatsApp message from the company (Comfort Cars) confirming my travel details. Later my travel plan changed and I messaged them and they immediately accommodated the change. They told me the driver would meet me at the end of the train platform with a sign I was thrilled with the service. UNTIL…. The driver (Rayan) messaged me telling me he wanted me to meet him at a different pick up point. I told him I had 2 large suitcases and he said “don’t worry it’s only a 3 minute walk”. I messaged the Comforter Cars Rep and told them I was being asked to meet in front of a random hotel down the street from the train station. The reason I prepaid for a private driver is so I wouldn’t have to wander around Paris with suitcases looking for an uber or taxi. Comfort cars said “your driver should be meeting you at the platform”.
Unluckily for me my train lost power on the tracks. (Literally in a tunnel… for ONE HOUR. We had internet and no signal but random texts were going through and I was able to tell the driver my train is delayed (something he should have been able to check using the train details I provided). When we finally got moving, I messaged him. I then get a text from a completely different number saying “because of your delay you will have to pay the driver an additional 40 EURO in CASH” (btw it’s a $20 y we ride). Then HE messages me that I have to pay 40 EURO because he paid for parking. (Parking where?? He wasn’t coming to the platform.) When I told him I’ve used private transfers several times and they check travel details and know when there are delayed so they don’t wait for no reason and that I would not be paying a penny extra, that I was stupid and that I was offended at his attempt to scam me he began calling and texting me incessantly saying “no no no it’s ok don’t pay I’ll take you wherever you want to go, please I’m coming to drive you.” Obviously I no longer felt safe traveling with this driver. I messaged Comfort Cars to notify them after hours. They opened my message the next morning and never replied. I never took the ride I took an uber BLACK for $20USD (not euro) which was so much easier and a much more pleasant experience.
Diver was very knowledgeable about Paris and gave us a mini tour on our way to the hotel. Excellent experience
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the ride and the mini tour of Paris along the way. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the driver. We hope to welcome you again soon!
We were in the wrong meeting place, but the driver came to us without a problem. He gave us a little history as we passed the sights.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad the driver was able to easily find you despite the meeting point confusion and make the pickup stress-free. It’s wonderful to hear you also enjoyed the little historical commentary along the way. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on your next trip!
Make sure you get driver that speaks your language. We requested English, but could not communicate well with our driver. Made things difficult. Otherwise trip from train to hotel was fine.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Customer thank you for your understanding
We arrived into Gare du Nord at 9pm via the Eurostar. I was traveling with my parents (in their 70's), husband, and 8yr old son, so I really didn't want to try to navigate traffic, organize taxis, etc in a city I had never been to during the evening hours. Thought having this prearranged driver would be the easiest and it 100% was. Our driver was waiting for us at the end of the platform when we arrived and helped us with our luggage. He was very kind and safely got us to our hotel. He even helped carry our bags into the lobby. Communication from Comfort Cars prior to pick up was excellent as well and accommodated all questions. 100% recommend this company!

No one came to pick us up as promised. Do not use. Viator rep couldn’t reach anyone at the company. We had to make other arrangements after waiting and finally arrived at the hotel very late.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Valued Customer,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, your driver was feeling unwell and had to go to the hospital, which is why he was unable to meet you as scheduled.
We have already processed a full refund for your booking.
Thank you for your understanding.
Rude driver, made us feel uncomfortable. Viators instructions should include EXACTLY where they want you to stand when you get off the train. THEIR instructions literally give you directions to go outside. SUCH a rude awful ride to the hotel. Never again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide.
We would like to clarify that pickup instructions are provided through the booking platform, and meeting points at train stations can sometimes be challenging. That said, we always expect our drivers to remain courteous and professional at all times.
Could you please provide your booking reference number and contact us directly so we can investigate this matter further? We take this very seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to review what happened.

More than 1 hour late, blamed it in parking, but all other picks up were on time. We were left alone waiting. Driver could hardly speak English and he seemed so frustrated and did not have the promised water. Wasn't a great welcome to Paris!
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Driver said nothing to us, grabbed one piece of our luggage at the train station and then walked very fast to where his car was. My daughter had to run after him and tell him to stop as he had been going through a maze of street intersections and so fast he was way ahead of my wife and I and we lost sight of him (we are both in our 60s) as we are wheeling large luggage each, in order for us to catch up to him. After getting into his car, he still had not said anything, no hello, how are you, welcome to Paris, etc. I asked him if he knew to go to the Melia Vendome hotel, and all he said was "Melia". When we got to the hotel he helped to get our luggage out of his car, said "Good Luck", and drove off. So he only said three words to us. Horrible lack of any personal kindness or attentive customer service treatment.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear George, We sincerely apologize for the experience you had with your driver.

Your feedback is very important to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
Serge was waiting for us at arrivals as we got off the train. That was comforting. His kindness and sense of humor made the ride enjoyable!

Driver was not there when train arrived or we couldn’t find him. We waited 45 minutes after arrival and took a taxi. An hour and a half from when the train arrived I received a text asking when our train was due to arrive.
Please refund my money
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Joe
We are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait after your train arrived and not be able to connect with the driver.
After reviewing the situation, we can see that there was a miscommunication that led to this unfortunate delay. This is far from the standard of service we aim to provide.
We will arrange a partialrefund of your payment to your original method of payment. You should receive confirmation shortly.
We sincerely apologise for the trouble caused and hope we can have the opportunity to serve you again in the future under much better circumstances.
Kind regards,
Angela
