This is a practical solution that saves you time. The airport's official car parks are available to travellers wishing to park their car on departure from Roissy airport, for example.

However, these parking spaces are expensive, so we recommend that you choose a private car park at Roissy, a much more practical, secure and less expensive alternative. At Class'Park Roissy, we take care of your transfer and that of your luggage (cabin and hold) from our secure car park to the airport. On your return, our professionals will pick you up and take you back to your vehicle's parking site. Thanks to free shuttle transfers you have access to more additional services such as windscreen replacement, vehicle cleaning, electric recharging, roadworthiness tests, etc.

Our private car park is equipped with a surveillance system and access is controlled by security guards to ensure maximum security. Once at the airport, you must remain vigilant and respect a few rules. Keep an eye on your luggage to avoid them becoming suspect. Under no circumstances should you entrust them to a third party, and under no circumstances should you accept belongings from a stranger, as this could lead to problems (theft bans, fines, prison).
