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.
