Paris–Orly Transfers: Compare Taxis, Private Chauffeurs and Other Options
Traveling between Paris and Orly Airport requires planning around your flight, luggage and departure address. This guide compares official taxis, reserved private chauffeur services, public transportation, hotel shuttles and long-stay parking so you can choose an option that suits your budget and schedule.
How Long Does the Journey Take?
As an indication, allow around 35–60 minutes from central Paris or 30–45 minutes from southern access points such as Porte d’Orléans or Porte d’Italie in normal traffic. These are estimates, not guaranteed journey times. Congestion, roadworks, weather and terminal access can make the journey longer. Add a suitable margin and follow your airline’s arrival guidance.
Official Paris–Orly Taxi Fares
For direct journeys between Orly and Paris within the applicable area, the official 2026 taxi flat fares are:
| Direct journey, either direction | Taxi flat fare |
|---|---|
| Orly – Paris Right Bank | €45 |
| Orly – Paris Left Bank | €36 |
These regulated taxi fares are separate from First Class Partner prices. Check current official taxi fares. Applicable booking and additional-passenger supplements must be distinguished from the base fare. Published Paris taxi supplements include €4 for immediate booking, €7 for advance booking and €5.50 per passenger from the fifth passenger. Ask the operator which rules apply to your journey.
Taxis can be taken from an official rank without a reservation, subject to availability. They have regulated fares and must accept card payment regardless of the amount. A taxi sign, visible meter and official rank help identify the authorized service.
Where Are the Taxi Ranks?
Follow the taxi signs from your arrivals area. Check Paris Aéroport’s official terminal information for current access. Decline unsolicited offers in the terminal. If you have already reserved a private chauffeur, use the meeting point sent by your transportation provider.
Private Chauffeur Service: Advance Planning and Personalized Transportation
A reserved chauffeur service lets you agree on the pickup, vehicle and price before traveling. It can be useful for an early flight, business travel, families or passengers with substantial luggage. Tell First Class Partner your flight number, terminal and exact addresses. Welcome arrangements, luggage assistance, flight monitoring and waiting conditions are confirmed for the booked service.
How Much Does a Private Transfer Cost?
The fare depends on the itinerary, vehicle category, passengers, luggage and requested services. Previous illustrative price ranges in this article were not a First Class Partner tariff schedule. Use the booking form or request a quote for your actual journey. Your fare is agreed before pickup.
Destinations Served from Orly

Taxi or Private Chauffeur?
| Consideration | Taxi | Private chauffeur |
|---|---|---|
| Booking | Official rank or reservation | Advance reservation required |
| Price | Regulated flat fare for eligible Paris–Orly journeys; otherwise applicable meter rules | Agreed according to the booked itinerary and vehicle |
| Availability | Depends on vehicles and any queue | Confirmed before the journey |
| Vehicle and welcome | Depends on the operator and vehicle | Category and requested welcome arrangements confirmed when booking |
Long-Stay Parking at Orly
Compare official parking near the terminals, lower-cost parking with a transfer, and private parking or valet operators such as Ector and Blue Valet. Prices vary with dates, duration and availability. Obtain a current quote instead of relying on old weekly estimates.
Check the terminal served, transfer hours and duration, cancellation rules and the operator’s stated security arrangements. A free shuttle or available space should not be assumed without confirmation. Parking can suit travelers using their own car; a private transfer avoids leaving a vehicle at the airport.
Hotels near Orly Airport
Hotels mentioned in this guide include Novotel Paris Orly Rungis, ibis Paris Cœur d’Orly Aéroport, Hilton Garden Inn Paris Orly Airport, Mercure Paris Orly Rungis and Best Western Plus Paris Orly Airport. Confirm their current offers, addresses and availability directly.
Shuttle availability, charges and operating hours vary. Not all these hotels are within walking distance or five minutes of every terminal. Confirm transportation before booking a room for an early departure or overnight connection.
Public Transportation and Shuttle Alternatives
- Metro line 14 serves Aéroport d’Orly. Check the airport ticket and operating hours.
- Orlyval connects the airport with Antony on RER B. Check current fares and connection conditions.
- Tram T7 links the airport with Villejuif–Louis Aragon.
- Orlybus stopped operating on March 3, 2025. Do not plan to use that former link from Denfert-Rochereau.
See the official RATP alternatives. Plan around service disruptions, walking, luggage and accessibility. Public transportation may be economical but can require changes. Hotel and private parking shuttles have their own conditions.
Which Option Fits Your Journey?
A taxi rank can suit a spontaneous departure when a vehicle is available. A reserved chauffeur suits passengers who want to arrange the vehicle, pickup and fare ahead. Parking suits travelers who prefer driving themselves. Public transportation may suit lighter luggage and flexible schedules. Compare the whole journey, including walking and transfers, rather than only the headline price.
