ORY — Paris (Orly) — Taxi Fare Guide
Paris operates official fixed flat fares for licensed taxis between Orly Airport and central Paris, set by prefectural decree and independent of traffic or time of day. This makes Orly one of the most transparent airports for taxi pricing in Europe. The official taxi rank is signposted outside each terminal; only use the marked rank with its metered white-plate G7-style cabs.
Since the rates updated (effective February 2025), the flat fare is €36 to the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) and €44 to the Right Bank (Rive Droite). These prices cover up to four passengers and include luggage; the driver cannot legally exceed them for a central Paris drop-off. There is no separate airport surcharge on these flat fares.
Minor extras may apply only in limited cases, such as a small supplement for a fifth passenger. For destinations outside central Paris (the suburbs), the meter is used instead of the flat fare, plus any motorway tolls. The journey to the centre typically takes 25-40 minutes depending on traffic.
Ride-hailing apps (Uber, Bolt, FreeNow) work at Orly with dedicated pickup zones and are sometimes cheaper off-peak, but they surge during busy periods and lack the fixed-fare guarantee. For value, the flat-fare official taxi is predictable and stress-free.
| Destination | Approx. fare | Time |
| Paris Left Bank (Rive Gauche) - flat fare | €36 | 25-35 min |
| Paris Right Bank (Rive Droite) - flat fare | €44 | 30-40 min |
| Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) | €60-€80 (metered) | 45-60 min |
| Disneyland Paris | €65-€85 (metered) | 45-55 min |
Practical tips: Insist on the official flat fare (€36 / €44) for central Paris and confirm your destination is Left or Right Bank before starting. Only take taxis from the signposted rank, never from someone approaching you in the terminal. Cards are widely accepted, but confirm before the ride. Keep the fare figures handy so you can politely correct any driver who tries to run the meter into the centre.
Other ways to the city
Orly is now the best-connected Paris airport for public transport, since Metro Line 14 was extended right into the terminals. Your options are:
- Metro Line 14 - a direct, driverless metro from Orly to Chatelet and Saint-Lazare in about 25-30 minutes, running every few minutes. The airport ticket costs roughly EUR 11-13 and needs no changes, which makes it the simplest choice for most travellers.
- Orlyval - the automated shuttle to Antony station on RER B, then a train onward to Denfert-Rochereau, Chatelet and Gare du Nord. Combined ticket around EUR 14, total journey 35-40 minutes.
- Orlybus - a direct coach to Denfert-Rochereau in the 14th arrondissement, taking about 30 minutes for roughly EUR 11-12. Handy for the Montparnasse area.
- Tram T7 - the cheapest route at standard ticket price, around EUR 2.50, running to Villejuif-Louis Aragon on Metro Line 7 in about 30 minutes. Slow but very economical.
- RER C plus shuttle bus - the Go C Paris bus links Orly to Pont de Rungis station for onward trains along the Seine to Austerlitz and Saint-Michel.
For Disneyland Paris and the CDG area, the Magical Shuttle and the Orly-CDG bus link the two airports in about 70-80 minutes.
