At rush hour, the drive to Paris Orly Airport (ORY) takes up to 60 minutes. On top of that, allow the time your airline recommends for check-in and security.
Your driver drops you at the departures entrance of your terminal at Orly. Tell us your airline when you book so that we take you to the right terminal.
Give us the full address of your hotel, not only its name: several Paris hotels share similar names. Many central streets are pedestrian or closed to through traffic. When your door cannot be reached by car, we agree on the closest pickup point with you on WhatsApp before the day. Traffic is heaviest on weekday mornings and evenings, on the ring road and the motorways out of Paris: plan a margin at those times. Inside the city, a Metro-Train-RER ticket costs €2.55 in 2026, but it is not valid to or from the airports, which need the €14 Paris Region Airports ticket.
Orly has four terminals, Orly 1 to Orly 4. Your airline and flight number tell us which one is yours: send them when you book and we will be waiting at the right door. Metro line 14 runs from the airport to Châtelet in about 25 minutes, from about 5.30am to 1.15am depending on the day. It needs the Paris Region Airports ticket, €14 in 2026: a standard metro ticket is not valid. Orlybus no longer runs: metro line 14 has replaced it. Orlyval links the terminals with the RER B at Antony, with the same €14 ticket. Tram T7 stops at the airport and meets metro line 7 at Villejuif, with a Bus-Tram ticket for the tram and a Metro-Train-RER ticket for the metro. At night, Noctilien night buses link Orly with central Paris.
The drive from Paris to Orly is short off-peak, but the southern ring road and the A6 jam at rush hour. Metro line 14 is quick from Châtelet, but it is busy at peak times and only starts at about 5.30am, too late for the first flights. We set your pickup time from your flight time with a margin, so you never rush through check-in, and your driver drops you at the departures door of your terminal.
Alone with a small bag, metro line 14 from Châtelet reaches Orly in about 25 minutes for €14. For an early flight before the metro runs, a family or several suitcases, a private driver is the calmer choice: pickup time set from your flight, a margin for the ring road traffic and a drop at your terminal door, with Samantha Travels, for €110 for the whole car.

Metro line 7 then tram T7 costs less, a Metro-Train-RER ticket at €2.55 plus a Bus-Tram ticket at €2.05, but takes longer, with a change at Villejuif. Orlybus no longer runs. A private driver costs from €110 for the whole vehicle, from your door.
Fastest door to door: Paris taxi (fixed fare), from 25 minutes. By car, allow 25 to 60 minutes depending on traffic.

A private driver is available 24/7 when booked in advance, from €110 for the whole vehicle.

For one traveller with a small bag, Metro line 14 costs less, from €14 per person. With luggage, children or a group, yes: €110 for the whole vehicle, about €37 each for three travellers, and a pickup at your door timed from your flight.
