Transfer from Paris Beauvais Airport to Amiens

The journey runs mainly on the A16 motorway, which skirts the eastern edge of Beauvais past the airport before bending north-east. Early on you pass the Auteuil rest area at kilometre 63, just before exit 14 into Beauvais, where the city's Gothic cathedral is a familiar landmark. Beyond exits 19 and 20 the road feeds onto the A29 and RN1, and the scenery opens into flat Picardy farmland of arable fields and small villages.

The pickup is at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, where your driver holds a name sign and monitors your flight. The drive typically takes about 46 minutes, but weekday peak commuting hours can slow traffic near Amiens, so allow a margin on a first visit. Amiens is known for its Gothic cathedral and the Hortillonnages canal gardens, so give your exact hotel address when you book.

A pre-booked private transfer beats the alternatives on this route. Bus 601 takes around 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes into central Amiens and runs on a limited timetable, while a shuttle to Beauvais SNCF station plus a TER train totals roughly 1 hour 40 minutes with a change. A taxi leaves you negotiating the fare at the rank, whereas a Transfeero trip is one door-to-door ride at a fixed price.
