Taxi from Orly to Paris: Fares, Tips & How to Book (2026)
Paris Orly (ORY) is the second-largest Paris airport, located just 14 km south of the city center. Getting a taxi from Orly to Paris is quicker and cheaper than from CDG — but knowing the rules still saves you from being overcharged. Here's everything you need.
Orly to Paris: Fixed Official Fares 2026
Since January 2024, the Paris Prefecture enforces fixed taxi fares between Orly and Paris. Like CDG, the rate depends on which bank of the Seine your destination sits on:
| Destination | Fixed Fare | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Paris Right Bank (Rive Droite) | €35 | Châtelet, République, Bastille, Marais, Opéra |
| Paris Left Bank (Rive Gauche) | €38 | Montparnasse, Saint-Germain, Eiffel Tower area |
💡 Pre-booking surcharge: A legal advance booking fee of €7 applies to all pre-booked taxis (paid directly to the driver). This is a government-regulated charge, not a platform markup.
These fares are fixed 24/7, 365 days a year — including holidays, rush hour, and during major events. No taxi can legally charge more (or less).
Orly Terminals: Where to Find Official Taxis
Orly has two main terminals: Orly 1-2-3 (formerly Orly Sud) and Orly 4 (formerly Orly Ouest). Both have dedicated taxi areas on the ground floor of the arrivals level.
- Orly 1-2-3: Exit via the arrivals hall, follow the "Taxis" signs to the exterior stand on level 0
- Orly 4: Ground floor arrivals, taxi stand clearly signposted outside exit doors
⚠️ Watch out for unlicensed drivers: Unofficial drivers sometimes approach passengers inside the terminal. Always walk to the official taxi stand or use a pre-booked service — never accept a ride from someone who approaches you first.
How to Book a Taxi from Orly: Step by Step
Pre-book online before your flight
The best approach is to reserve your Orly taxi in advance at Paris Hotel Taxi. You'll enter your terminal, destination, and travel date — we'll handle the rest, including real-time flight tracking.
Exit arrivals — your driver is waiting with a sign
With a pre-booked taxi, your driver is in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. No need to find the taxi stand or queue — walk straight to your driver.
Check the taxi license
Confirm the taxi light on the roof and the professional license card (carte professionnelle) on the dashboard. Both are mandatory for official Paris taxis.
Pay at destination
The taxi fare (€35 or €38) plus the €7 advance booking surcharge is paid directly to the driver at the end of the journey — by card or cash.
How Long Does Orly to Paris Take?
Orly's proximity to Paris means shorter travel times than CDG:
- 20–30 minutes outside peak hours
- 35–55 minutes during rush hour (7–9am and 5–8pm weekdays)
- 15–20 minutes late at night or early morning
Traffic on the A6 and périphérique can extend journey times during peak periods. Your driver tracks your actual arrival and adjusts timing accordingly.
