Quick answers
The questions travellers ask most before landing at Orly, answered in a few lines each. The detail follows below.
For most travellers with luggage, a pre-booked private transfer or an official taxi is the easiest, because both are door to door in about 25–45 minutes. Metro line 14 is the fastest public option, about 25 minutes from the airport to Châtelet, but it needs a special airport ticket and offers little room for large bags.
Paris Orly Airport (ORY) is about 13 km south of central Paris. By road, most addresses in Paris are 14–20 km away and the drive usually takes 25–45 minutes, depending on traffic and the neighbourhood.
Official Paris taxis charge a regulated flat fare: €36 to the Left Bank and €45 to the Right Bank in 2026. These are maximum amounts set by the French order of 24 December 2025, and supplements, for example for a fifth passenger, can apply.
It depends on your journey and the vehicle you choose. Choose Get Quote, enter your pick-up and drop-off, and you see the fare for each vehicle before you pay. There is no meter running.
Yes. Metro line 14 has served Orly Airport since 24 June 2024 and takes about 25 minutes from Châtelet. You need the Paris Region ↔ Airports ticket (€14 for adults in 2026); a standard t+ ticket does not open the Orly station.
Official taxi ranks are outside the arrivals exits: gate 14a for Orly 1–2, gate 32a for Orly 3 and gate 48a for Orly 4, according to Paris Aéroport. Official taxis carry a roof light sign. Decline any offer made inside the terminal.
Yes. Flight operations are restricted between about 23:30 and 06:00, so few planes land overnight. Metro line 14 does not run through the night either, so if you land late or leave early, arrange your ride in advance.
Orly has no single meeting point that every private service uses. Your driver meets you following the airport’s rules for pre-booked transfers, and we share driver and vehicle details before your journey so you know who to look for.

Taxi cost
The honest answer has two parts: what an official taxi costs by law, and how a pre-booked transfer is priced.
| Option | Price in 2026 | What it covers | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Paris taxi | €36 Left Bank €45 Right Bank | A regulated flat fare for journeys between Orly and Paris. It replaces the meter. Supplements can apply, for example for a fifth passenger. | Arrêté du 24 décembre 2025; Service-Public; DGCCRF |
| Official taxi outside Paris | By the meter | Journeys to Versailles, La Défense, Disneyland Paris and other places outside Paris are charged by distance and time. The minimum fare is €8. | DGCCRF |
| Pre-booked transfer with us | Shown before you pay | You see the fare for each vehicle in Get Quote. It is priced for the whole vehicle, not per person. | Global Airport Taxi |
| Metro line 14 | About €14 per adult About €7 per child | The Paris Region ↔ Airports ticket. A standard t+ ticket does not open the Orly station. | Paris Aéroport; Paris je t’aime |
| Orlyval + RER B | About €14 per adult | The airport ticket again. You change at Antony from the Orlyval shuttle to the RER B. | Paris Aéroport; RATP |
| Tram T7 + metro line 7 | A standard single ticket | The lowest-cost route, but slow, and you change with your luggage. | RATP |
The flat fare depends on which side of the Seine your address is on. The Left Bank fare of €36 applies to the 5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th and 15th arrondissements, including Montparnasse, the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain. The Right Bank fare of €45 applies to the other arrondissements, which include Châtelet, the Marais, the Opéra, the Champs-Élysées and the Gare du Nord area.
The flat fare replaces the meter, so traffic does not change the price of the journey. The figures are maximum amounts, and supplements can be added, for example for a fifth passenger or for booking the taxi in advance. A journey that ends outside Paris is charged by the meter. Our Orly taxi prices guide lists every extra that is allowed and every one that is banned.
A private transfer is priced for the vehicle and the journey you ask for. That is why we do not print a single price on this page: a saloon car to the Eiffel Tower area and a 16-seater minicoach to Disneyland Paris are very different journeys. Choose Get Quote and the total for each vehicle is shown before you pay. Airport charges are shown in your quote.
For one traveller with a small bag, public transport is cheapest. From the taxi rank, the €36 Left Bank fare drops below €14 a head once three adults share it, and the €45 Right Bank fare once four do. For five or more, or with a lot of luggage, compare vehicles in your quote, because one van or minibus can replace several taxis.

At the airport
Since 2019 Orly has had four numbered terminals. The old names, Orly West and Orly South, are no longer used.
| Terminal | What it is | Airlines that mainly use it | Official taxi rank | Public transport |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orly 1 and Orly 2 | The former Orly West (Orly Ouest), now two linked terminals | Mainly major European airlines such as Air France, British Airways, easyJet, Iberia and TAP | Gate 14a | Orlyval station on level 1 (door 12d). Metro line 14 is a short walk. |
| Orly 3 | A connecting building between Orly 1–2 and the rest of the airport, opened in April 2019 | Used by a mix of airlines | Gate 32a | Metro line 14 station (Aéroport d’Orly) is right next to Orly 3. |
| Orly 4 | The former Orly South (Orly Sud) and the largest terminal | Mainly low-cost, secondary and non-European airlines such as Transavia, Air Algérie, Corsair and Royal Air Maroc | Gate 48a | Orlyval station on level 0 (door 48a). Tram T7 stops outside (around exit 47d). |
Your airline and flight decide. As a rule of thumb, Orly 1, 2 and 3 are used mainly by major European airlines and Orly 4 by low-cost, secondary and non-European carriers, but airlines move between terminals. The only reliable source is your ticket, your airline’s app or the airport’s flight information screens. Add your flight number when you book and we plan around it.
The four terminals are linked. You can walk between them in about 10 minutes, or use the Orlyval shuttle, which is free between the terminals. The Orlyval runs about every five minutes from around 06:00 until about 23:30. That is handy if you need to reach a different terminal from the one you landed at.
Terminal details are from Paris Aéroport, RATP, Wikipedia and Wikivoyage.
Pickup at Orly
No two airports organise private pickups in exactly the same way, and Orly is no exception.
No. Orly does not have a single meeting point that every private service uses. Where a pre-booked driver can wait depends on the terminal and on the airport’s rules at the time, which is why we share driver and vehicle details before your journey rather than promising one spot for everyone. If you cannot find your driver, contact our support team by phone, WhatsApp or email and we will help.
That depends on where you flew from, how busy passport control is and whether you checked a bag. Many travellers allow around 30 to 60 minutes between landing and walking out of arrivals, and longer after a long-haul flight. Because our pickups are flight-aware, we plan around your landing time.
Choose Paris Orly Airport as your drop-off and add your terminal if you know it (our Paris to Orly guide shows when to leave). Most airlines ask you to be at the airport about two hours before a European flight and about three hours before a long-haul flight; check your airline’s advice. Then add the road journey, usually 25–45 minutes and longer in rush hour, plus a buffer for traffic. Add your terminal if you know it, so the drop-off is at the right entrance.

Orly to Paris
An honest look at your choices, so you can pick the one that suits your journey. Public transport is a perfectly good choice for some travellers, and we say so.
| Option | Time into Paris | Cost in 2026 | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked private transfer Global Airport Taxi | About 25–45 min by road | Shown before you pay, for the whole vehicle | Families, groups, luggage, early and late flights | Door to door. Add your flight number so the pickup follows your landing time. |
| Official Paris taxi | About 25–45 min by road | €36 Left Bank, €45 Right Bank | Last-minute trips when you have not booked | Queue at the ranks: gate 14a (Orly 1–2), 32a (Orly 3), 48a (Orly 4). Other journeys use the meter. |
| Metro line 14 | About 25 min to Châtelet, about 23 min to Gare de Lyon | About €14 per adult | One or two travellers with light luggage | Runs from about 05:30 until after midnight, later on Friday and Saturday. Little space for large bags. |
| Orlyval + RER B | About 35–45 min | About €14 per adult | Destinations along the RER B line | Orlyval to Antony, then RER B. Orlyval runs from about 06:00 until about 23:30. |
| Tram T7 + metro line 7 | About 55–80 min to central Paris | A standard single ticket | The lowest cost when you are not in a hurry | Tram from Orly 4 to Villejuif–Louis Aragon, then metro line 7. Two changes with luggage. |
| Orlybus | Stopped on 3 March 2025 | Not available | Not available | Use metro line 14 or Orlyval + RER B instead. |

Best for you
The right answer depends on who you are travelling with, how much you carry and when you land.
A pre-booked car or van keeps everyone together and avoids queues and changing trains with pushchairs. Child seats are available on request: tell us how many children are travelling when you book.
Paris taxis are usually cars for up to four passengers, with a supplement for a fifth. A van (8 passengers, 7 bags), an 8-seater minibus or a minicoach for 16 keeps a group in one vehicle. See the fare in your quote.
Metro line 14 and the Orlyval are accessible, but trains are busy and space for large bags is limited. A door-to-door transfer removes stairs and changes. Tell us about any needs when you book, or contact our team first.
Orly has a night curfew from about 23:30 to 06:00 and metro line 14 does not run overnight. A pre-booked transfer, with a driver who plans around your flight, is the calmer choice at those hours.
Choose an executive car, see the fare before you pay and keep the confirmation email for your records. Flight-aware pickups mean we plan around your landing time.
If you are travelling alone with a cabin bag and your hotel is near a metro line 14 station, the metro is hard to beat on speed and cost. A transfer makes more sense once you have luggage, a group or a late arrival.
Timing
The same journey can take 25 minutes or close to an hour. Here is what changes it.
Weekday mornings (roughly 7–9 am) and evenings (roughly 5–8 pm) are the slowest times on the roads into Paris, and a journey that normally takes 25–35 minutes can stretch towards 40–55 minutes. The metro is also at its busiest between about 8 and 10 am and 5 and 8 pm, which makes a crowded line 14 carriage harder with a suitcase.
Roads are quicker at the start and end of the day, often 20–25 minutes to central Paris. Orly also has a night-time curfew from about 23:30 to 06:00 that restricts flights, so very few planes land overnight. Late arrivals are usually before midnight and early departures are usually after 06:00. Metro line 14 does not run through the night, so plan the way home before you fly. See our late-night and early-morning guide.
Taxi queues at the airport are longest in the peak summer months and at holiday weekends. Strikes, big events and roadworks can also slow the roads or the metro. A pre-booked transfer is not immune to traffic, but it removes the wait for a taxi and the uncertainty of changing trains.
Work backwards from your flight: check-in time, then the road journey, then a traffic buffer. In rush hour or on a Sunday evening, add more. Tell us your flight number and we plan around it.
Times are typical and not a guarantee: they change with traffic, weather and incidents.
