Comparison of different modes of transport from Orly (ORY) to Paris

In this article, you will be able to find the necessary information in order to compare all the different means of transport that are available for transfers to the centre of Paris from Orly Airport. Check timetables, prices and our advice on how to reach the French capital, forgetting about the stresses of airport travel.

Every different mode of transport has its advantages as well as different timetables and pricing which we will compare in the following paragraphs. In this way, it will be easier to choose the best option for each individual requirement between: private taxis, public taxis, trains, buses and shuttles.

Out of all the different modes of transport, a Private Taxi is the option that guarantees the most comfortable and flexible option when it comes to meeting the client's specific requirements. This means having a driver (who is booked in advance) that will find you as you enter the Arrivals Hall and who will be easily recognisable as he will be carrying a sign with the client's name on it. By booking this service, you will be able to travel straight to your destination without having to worry about using less trustworthy drivers who may take a longer and more expensive route. The private taxi service is at a fixed price, starting from €45.00 which will then be amended to reflect the distance to be travelled, not the journey time. The costs also depend on other factors so that, travelling with family or a group of friends means the cost per head becomes more economical with prices starting from as little as €13.00 per person!

The advantages of booking a Private Taxi

The public taxis apply a rate that is based on the time the journey takes. For this reason, it can often happen that the price that has been agreed upon is no longer applicable as some of the less honest drivers try to earn more money by making the journey longer. The private taxis do not apply a tariff that depends on the journey time but a rate that is based on the distance travelled. Therefore, you will be able to take advantage of a fixed rate that is frozen at the time of making your booking.

ADVICE ABOUT TAXI SERVICES

It is vital that you book the shuttle a minimum of 24 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time. The reservation can be done on-line 24 hours a day or via the Customer Services desk, in English, from 09:00 to 18:00.

Collect your baggage from the luggage belt, go through passport control and when you come through the doors of the Arrivals Hall, you will find your driver waiting for you with a sign bearing your name for ease of identification. 

The driver cannot accept payment by credit card.  Make sure that you are carrying enough cash with you to effect full payment.  

In the event that your flight is delayed or cancelled, we would request that you let us know by sending a message to the emergency number that is provided in the email confirmation of your booking.
