Orly airport transfer. Your chauffeur in arrivals.
Fixed price from 75 euros. Native English chauffeur waiting inside arrivals with your name on a board. All four Orly terminals covered: Orly 1, Orly 2, Orly 3, and Orly 4. Flight tracking, meet-and-greet, and 60 minutes of free wait built into every booking. Same standard we have brought to Washington DC embassies since 2008.
What an Orly transfer actually costs.
Most Paris chauffeur sites hide their pricing behind a quote form. We do not. Here is what you pay for the routes people actually book from Orly, in euros, all-in with tolls and airport fees included.
| Route from Orly | Distance | Vehicle | Fixed Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paris center (Left Bank hotels) | 13 km | Mercedes E-Class | From €75 |
| Paris center (Right Bank) | 15 km | Mercedes E-Class | From €85 |
| 8th arrondissement (Champs-Elysees) | 17 km | Mercedes S-Class | From €95 |
| Eiffel Tower + 7th arrondissement | 18 km | Mercedes S-Class | From €95 |
| La Defense business district | 22 km | Mercedes S-Class | From €105 |
| Versailles | 24 km | Mercedes S-Class | From €85 |
| Disneyland Paris (Marne-la-Vallee) | 60 km | Mercedes V-Class | From €145 |
| CDG airport (inter-airport) | 35 km | Mercedes S-Class | From €145 |
| Group (7-14 passengers) | Any | Mercedes Sprinter | From €165 |
What is included
Professional chauffeur. Meet-and-greet inside Level 0 arrivals with a name sign. Real-time flight tracking. Luggage assistance. All A106 and A6 tolls. Fuel. Paris low-emission zone (ZFE) fees when applicable. 60 minutes of free wait time after landing. First child seat free with 24-hour notice.
Nothing to pay the driver on arrival. Booking price is total price. Gratuity is optional and never expected.
Why not just take a taxi or Metro Line 14?
Fair question. A regulated Paris taxi is cheap. The new Metro Line 14 that opened in June 2024 is even cheaper. We are not going to pretend otherwise. Here is the full comparison so you can decide what fits your trip.
| Option | Price to Paris center | Wait time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singh Car Service chauffeur | Fixed €75-95 | Chauffeur already inside arrivals with your name | Business meetings, first-time visitors, families with kids, VIP arrivals, anyone landing after 21:00 |
| Regulated Paris taxi (G7 Bianco) | Flat €36 Left Bank / €45 Right Bank | 10 to 30 minutes at peak arrival banks | Solo traveller with light luggage in daylight who does not mind a queue |
| Uber Paris | Variable (surge pricing common) | 5 to 15 minutes at designated pickup bay | Off-peak arrivals with data connection who accept surge pricing risk |
| Metro Line 14 (opened June 2024) | €10.30 single fare | Runs every 2 to 4 minutes | Solo travellers with rolling case going to Châtelet or hotels on Line 14 |
| Orlyval + RER B | €14.10 single fare | Orlyval every 7 min, RER B every 6-15 min | Cost-conscious travellers going to Saint-Michel or Gare du Nord |
| OrlyBus (RATP) | €11.50 single fare | Every 10 minutes | Budget travellers going to Denfert-Rochereau |
| Arrivals-hall touts | Whatever they say (often €100+) | Zero (they come to you) | Nobody. Avoid. Unlicensed. Paris Police Prefecture actively warns about them. |
Here is the honest breakdown: If you are a solo traveller with cabin luggage arriving at 10 AM going to Châtelet, Metro Line 14 beats us on price and honestly on time. Line 14 opened its Orly extension in June 2024 and reaches Châtelet in about 25 minutes for 10.30 euros. We would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.
The value of a Singh Car Service chauffeur shows up in three situations. First, when you land tired at 22:00 and do not want to negotiate a taxi rank. Second, when you have a meeting at 09:00 in La Defense and cannot afford a delayed metro at 07:30 arrivals. Third, when you are a family of four with luggage and one taxi will not fit you all.
What you actually pay for is not the drive. The drive is 13 kilometres on the A106. What you pay for is the guarantee of a professional chauffeur waiting with your name, a Mercedes instead of whatever cab is next in the rank, and a fixed price that will not surge because Fashion Week is on or because it is raining.
Which Orly terminal are you landing at?
Orly has four terminals numbered Orly 1, Orly 2, Orly 3, and Orly 4. If you have flown to Orly before 2019, you might remember them as Ouest (Orly 1 and 2) and Sud (Orly 4). All four terminals are connected by moving walkways within 5 minutes. Every arrival is on Level 0 which keeps things simple.

The right vehicle for your Orly transfer.
A Mercedes E-Class fits three passengers with normal luggage comfortably. A family of five with pushchairs needs a V-Class. Group of ten for a wedding needs a Sprinter. Book the right vehicle and the transfer works.

Mercedes S-Class
Executive tier for business meetings and VIP arrivals. Whisper-quiet cabin, premium sound, extra rear legroom. Best for La Defense executive transfers and Right Bank hotel arrivals.
Mercedes V-Class
The Paris family car. Face-to-face seating for kids. Ample luggage space for pushchairs plus suitcases. Best for Orly to Disneyland Paris family arrivals with multiple bags per person.
Mercedes Sprinter
Corporate delegations, wedding shuttles, Fashion Week teams, tour groups. Keeps everyone together in one vehicle instead of three cars.
Where Orly travellers actually go.
Not every Orly arrival is heading to the same place. Here are the routes we run most often, with real distances, real times, and what to expect on each drive.
Orly to Left Bank hotels
The classic run north on the A106, into central Paris via Porte d'Italie. Covers Latin Quarter, Saint-Germain-des-Pres, Musee d'Orsay area, 7th arrondissement. Peak morning traffic can push this to 60 min.
Orly to Right Bank hotels
Adds 5 to 10 minutes over the Left Bank because you cross the Seine. Covers Louvre, Le Marais, Opera, Champs-Elysees hotels.
Orly to La Defense
West via the A86 orbital. Covers all La Defense towers including Tour First, Tour Total, Grande Arche area. Peak commuter hours can slow this to 60 min.
Orly to Versailles
West via the A86 orbital. Direct to the Cour d'Honneur, Trianon Palace, or Waldorf Astoria Versailles. Useful for wedding guests arriving through Orly for a Château de Versailles ceremony.
Orly to Disneyland Paris
East via the A86 and A104 francilienne to Marne-la-Vallee. Direct to Disneyland Hotel, Sequoia Lodge, Newport Bay Club, or any of the seven resort hotels. Child seat free with advance notice.
Orly to CDG (inter-airport)
For split-ticket travellers connecting between airlines. Via the A86. Faster and more reliable than the RER B plus Orlyval transfer. Direct terminal-to-terminal with luggage stays in the vehicle.
What happens when your flight runs late.
Every Orly transfer includes real-time flight tracking. Your chauffeur has your flight number. When ATC delays your arrival by 40 minutes, we know before you do. Your pickup time shifts automatically. No calls needed from you.
You get 60 minutes of free wait time after your actual landing time. That is the point where wheels touch tarmac, not the point you booked. Add a 30 minute buffer for international arrivals because passport control at Orly can take 30 minutes on its own. Total protection built in: 90 minutes from touchdown.
What if you are held past 90 minutes. Usually because customs pulled your bag or passport control has a queue that day. Call the chauffeur direct number on your booking confirmation. If we can extend, we do. If we cannot (because the chauffeur has another pickup), we send a replacement.
Flight diverted to CDG instead of Orly. Contact us fast. If you land at CDG instead of Orly, we usually can reroute the chauffeur if the timing works. Extra distance beyond 30 km may be charged at 1.50 euros per km, disclosed to you before we proceed.
Why our Paris chauffeurs speak your English.
Every other Paris chauffeur company advertises English-speaking drivers. Here is what that usually means.
It means the driver speaks enough English to say hello, ask your hotel name, and confirm the price. Fine when things are simple. Not fine when you land jet-lagged at 22:00, cannot find your printout, need to change hotels, and the driver's English breaks down under pressure.
Singh Car Service Paris chauffeurs come from our Washington DC and London teams. They speak the English you speak, with the cultural fluency you take for granted at home. They understand "the hotel changed, can we go to the second one" without three attempts.
Why this is possible. Because Singh Car Service operates chauffeur services in Washington DC (since 2008), London (all 5 airports), Tokyo (Haneda and Narita), and Paris. Our chauffeurs are not local hires who happen to speak English. They are Singh chauffeurs from our English-speaking markets, working across our network. See our Paris chauffeur service hub for full details.
For American travellers, British executives, Australian tourists, and Canadian families, this is not a minor detail. It is the difference between a smooth arrival and a stressful one at Orly.
