- Drive time: 25–40 minutes to central Paris, longer at weekday rush hour.
- With a private driver: your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with your name, your flight is tracked and one hour of waiting is included. From €170 per car, fixed in advance.
- Other options: the official taxi rank, ride-hailing apps and metro line 14. The essentials are below.
What your arrival looks like with a private driver
Orly is compact, but its four terminals have separate exits, and the first minutes after landing can still be the most tiring part of the trip. With a private driver, you simply walk out and you are on your way.
- Before you fly. Send us your flight number. We track it, so your driver adjusts to your actual landing time.
- In the arrivals hall. Your driver meets you after baggage claim with a sign showing your name and takes care of your bags.
- No rush. One hour of waiting after landing is included.
- In the car. A Mercedes with an English-speaking chauffeur, water on board and child seats free on request. Traveling with children? See our guide to Paris with kids.
- At your door. Straight to your hotel or apartment, on either bank of the Seine.

When a private driver makes the most sense
Other ways into Paris
If you prefer to make your own way, these are the main alternatives.
- Official taxis charge a flat fare of €36 to the Left Bank and €45 to the Right Bank. The ranks are signposted outside each terminal exit. Only use the official rank: drivers who approach you inside the terminal are not licensed taxis.
- Ride-hailing apps such as Uber cost roughly €35–100, depending on demand and car type, with pickups in dedicated zones outside the terminals.
- Metro line 14 runs from Orly to Châtelet in about 25 minutes, with the €14 Paris Region Airports ticket. You may still need to change lines or walk with your bags at the other end.
- Orlyval and the RER B take about 40 minutes to Châtelet with the same ticket, including a change at Antony.
- Trams and buses are the cheapest options, but they take an hour or more and are not practical with suitcases. The Orlybus stopped running in March 2025.
Tips from our drivers
- Know your terminal number. Orly’s terminals 1 to 4 are linked in one building, but they have separate exits and pickup points.
- Rush hour counts here too. On weekdays, the A6 and the ring road are slow from about 7 to 9 am and 4 to 8 pm.
- Keep WhatsApp on. It works on the airport Wi-Fi and is the easiest way for your driver to reach you.
- Have your hotel address handy, including the arrondissement.
- Going back to Orly? Check your airline’s advice on arrival time and allow extra margin in the evening rush.
