A private chauffeur in Paris starts at 79€ for a transfer within the city, from 119€ for a flat-fare airport transfer (Orly, CDG and Le Bourget from 119€), and from 79€ per hour for by-the-hour hire with a 2-hour minimum. Every price is fixed and all-inclusive — agreed before you travel, never affected by traffic.
Below is how each type of journey is priced, with real 2026 figures by vehicle class, so there is nothing left to guess.
How transfer pricing works
For point-to-point trips, pricing is simple: a minimum fare covers Paris and the inner ring, then a clear per-kilometre rate applies beyond it. There is no time-based meter, so you are never penalised for traffic.
- Business & Electric Class: from 79€ in Paris, then 2.70€/km beyond.
- Business Van (up to 7): from 109€, then 3.50€/km.
- First Class (Mercedes S-Class): from 150€, then 4.50€/km.
