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 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
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 this route
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: €35 to Left Bank (5th–7th arrondissements), €41 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.
