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.

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.
