How much is a taxi from Orly to Paris?
The short answer: between Orly and Paris, licensed taxis charge official flat fares set by prefectural order — €36 to any address on the Left Bank and €44 to the Right Bank. The flat fare includes luggage, with no supplement for suitcases, and applies in both directions.
That regulated flat rate is the taxi's great strength: whatever the traffic on the A106, the Orly-to-Paris taxi fare is settled before the car moves. Keep in mind that these amounts are revised periodically by prefectural order, so it is worth checking the current figures shortly before you fly.
What the flat fare does not settle is everything else — which car turns up, whether the driver speaks English, and how long the line is when three flights land at once. That is where the choice between a rank taxi and a pre-booked car really plays out.
Where are the taxi ranks at Orly airport?
The official Orly airport taxi ranks sit at the exit of each terminal — Orly 1, 2, 3 and 4 — on the arrivals level. Just follow the "Taxis" signs from baggage reclaim; the walk is short whichever terminal you land at.
Queues build at predictable moments: late morning and early evening, when long-haul and domestic arrivals bunch together. After a full flight, a 20-minute wait at the rank is not unusual. One firm rule: only take a taxi from the official rank. Anyone soliciting rides inside the terminal is operating illegally, and almost always expensively.
Once you are in the car, Orly is about 15 km south of Paris — count 30 to 45 minutes to the centre depending on traffic, with Left-Bank districts such as Montparnasse and the Latin Quarter reached quickest.
Taking a taxi from Paris to Orly airport
In the other direction, the same regulated fares apply: a taxi from Paris to Orly airport costs €36 from the Left Bank and €44 from the Right Bank. You can find a rank, hail a cab in the street or use an app — availability in central Paris is generally good outside rush hour.
The one thing to manage is timing. A 30-minute run can stretch well past 45 at peak times, and the flat fare will not compensate you for a missed flight. Build in a margin — or remove the variable altogether by pre-booking a transfer with a confirmed pickup time, chosen the night before with your flight in mind.
Taxi, private chauffeur or Orlyval + RER: side by side
Three honest options for the same journey. The full public-transport picture — metro, tram and bus included — is in our guide Orly to Paris: how to get to the city.
| Option | Price to central Paris | Journey time | How it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi from the official rank | €36 Left Bank / €44 Right Bank (regulated flat fare) | 30–45 min | No booking — queue at the terminal rank |
| Private chauffeur, pre-booked | from €119 fixed, all-inclusive | 30–45 min | Booked in advance — name sign in arrivals, flight tracked |
| Orlyval + RER B | standard tickets — the cheapest option | allow 45 min or more door-to-door | No booking — change at Antony, stairs and platforms with luggage |
Taxi flat fares are set by prefectural order and revised periodically — verify the current amounts before travelling. Chauffeur fares are confirmed in writing at booking.
The pre-booked chauffeur alternative — fixed price, no queue
A point of clarity first: Reservation Chauffeur is a licensed private chauffeur (VTC) company, not a taxi. We do not wait at the ranks and we do not run a meter. What we offer is the other way of doing an airport run: everything agreed before you land.
Our Orly airport transfer starts from €119, all-inclusive, at a fixed price confirmed at booking — tolls, parking and waiting time included. Concretely, that means:
- Meet & greet in arrivals — your chauffeur waits with a name sign at Orly 1, 2, 3 or 4 and helps with your luggage.
- Live flight tracking — an early or delayed landing shifts the pickup automatically, with waiting time included.
- A price that cannot move — traffic on the way into Paris changes nothing.
- A premium car and an English-speaking chauffeur — the same drivers who serve our private chauffeur clients in Paris year-round.

An honest word about price
On the regulated flat fare, the taxi is cheaper — €36 or €44 against our €119. We would rather tell you that plainly than pretend otherwise.
The chauffeur earns the difference when the arrival matters: a red-eye landing with family and four suitcases, a client to meet two hours after touchdown, a departure that simply cannot be missed. You skip the rank entirely, someone is waiting for you by name, the car is a high-end Mercedes, and the price you were quoted is the price you pay — even if the périphérique is at a standstill.
