All transport alternatives from Paris Orly

Metro line 14 (€14 Paris Région↔Aéroports ticket, 25 min to Châtelet, every 2–5 min), Orlyval + RER B (€14.10, 35 min to Châtelet), Tramway T7 + Metro 7 (€2.15, 50+ min), Taxi (€45 Right Bank / €36 Left Bank, fixed). Orlybus was withdrawn on 3 March 2025.

Meeting your driver

Orly Terminal 1–4: drivers wait in the arrivals hall. Orly is smaller and less confusing than CDG — finding your driver is straightforward. The pickup areas are well-signed.

Journey time from Paris Orly by time of day

Fastest: Sunday mornings and weekday late evenings (after 22:00) on the A6 and Périphérique are the fastest — the 14 km drive takes just 25–35 minutes when traffic is clear.

Slowest: Weekday morning peaks (07:30–09:30) inbound via the A6 and Friday afternoons outbound are the worst — expect 55–80 minutes. The Porte d'Orléans entry to the Périphérique is the chronic bottleneck.

Weekends: Saturdays are generally smooth. Sunday evenings returning from weekend trips can add 15–25 minutes on the A6 inbound. August remains the easiest month overall.

Luggage and special requirements on Paris Orly transfers

Child seats: French law requires approved child restraints for children under 10 or 135 cm. Welcome Pickups provides them free on every Orly booking. Kiwitaxi charges a modest fee. For GetTransfer and intui.travel, confirm with the specific driver — French private drivers are usually compliant.

Oversized items: Orly handles significant leisure traffic to French overseas destinations and Mediterranean beach trips. For oversized beach gear or surfboards (to French Atlantic coast), mention items when booking — standard Parisian transfer sedans can't accommodate boards without pre-arrangement.

Tips for Paris Orly transfers

Orly is much closer to central Paris than CDG — only 15 km vs CDG's 30 km.

Paris taxi fares to/from Orly are fixed by law: €36 to Left Bank (5th–7th arrondissements), €45 to Right Bank.

Pre-booked transfers can undercut the fixed taxi fare, especially via GetTransfer bidding.

The Orlyval automated train connects to RER B at Antony station — fast but expensive at €14.10.

If heading to the Left Bank (Saint-Germain, Latin Quarter), Orly is the more convenient airport.

Paris Orly to Central Paris transfer FAQ

Pre-booked transfers range from €18–30 (GetTransfer) to €30–40 (Welcome Pickups). Fixed taxi fares are €36 (Left Bank) or €45 (Right Bank).

Yes — Orly is only 15 km from the city center vs CDG's 30 km. Journey times are 25–45 min from Orly vs 45–75 min from CDG. If your airline offers both airports, Orly is more convenient.

The cheapest option is Tramway T7 to Villejuif-Louis Aragon then Metro Line 7 (€2.15 total, 50+ min). The fastest is Orlyval + RER B (€14.10, 35 min to Châtelet). Orlybus no longer exists — RATP ended it on 3 March 2025; metro line 14 replaced it, 25 min from Châtelet on the €14 Paris Région↔Aéroports ticket.

Fixed price by law: €36 to Left Bank destinations, €45 to Right Bank. Supplements apply for luggage (free for normal bags) and for bookings requested by phone (+€4). No negotiation needed.

Yes — all four platforms offer Orly to Disneyland transfers. The journey is approximately 50 km and takes 40–60 minutes. Prices are €50–80 depending on the platform and vehicle type.

Orly has clean live flight data integration across all four platforms. Non-Schengen arrivals at Orly Sud (now T4) can take 30–45 minutes at peak times. Welcome Pickups and Kiwitaxi allow 60 minutes of free waiting, which is typically sufficient.

It depends on the platform and on how much notice you give. Welcome Pickups returns 80% if you cancel more than 24 hours ahead, or 100% as a coupon valid 12 months, and nothing inside 24 hours; Kiwitaxi is free up to 5 hours before pickup on its Economy classes and 24 hours on Business; intui.travel refunds in full more than 48 hours ahead on its Standard fare, though the route carrier sets the real deadline; GetTransfer depends on the fare you bought, as Standard never refunds and Flexible refunds in full until the trip starts. Cancel through the platform rather than by contacting the driver, so there is a record for the refund.

Welcome Pickups and Kiwitaxi include 60 minutes of free waiting on airport pickups; GetTransfer and intui.travel typically include 30–45 minutes depending on the carrier. Enter your flight number when booking — all four track the flight and shift the pickup to the actual landing time, so the free waiting period starts when you land rather than when you were scheduled to.

Quoted prices on this route run GetTransfer at €18–30; Welcome Pickups, Kiwitaxi and intui.travel at €25–40 — a spread of roughly €18 to €40. Book GetTransfer if price is the only variable that matters to you. Book Kiwitaxi if you want a fixed price confirmed instantly rather than waiting for drivers to bid. Book Welcome Pickups if you are landing with children, arriving in an unfamiliar terminal, or simply want someone holding a sign past customs — the fare includes in-terminal meet-and-greet and child seats at no charge.

Welcome Pickups at €25–40 includes child seats at no charge, which on this route is the simplest answer if you need a seat and do not want to negotiate for one. Kiwitaxi at €25–40 fits a seat on request for a small fee shown before payment. GetTransfer at €18–30 depends on the individual driver who wins the bid, so a seat is possible but not guaranteed. intui.travel at €25–40 supplies seats on request, fee varies by operator. Whichever you choose, confirm the specific seat type with support at least 48 hours before the transfer — a request entered at booking is not the same as a seat in the car.

The difference here runs from €18 at the bottom to €40 at the top. What the extra money buys is a fixed price you confirm immediately instead of a bid you wait for, a driver meeting you inside the terminal instead of at a pickup point, and a cancellation deadline you can read at checkout rather than terms set by whichever carrier wins the auction. On a short daytime transfer that is mostly convenience. On a long one, a late-night landing, or a first visit to the airport, it is the part of the booking most likely to matter.
