Meeting your driver at Paris Orly Airport (ORY)

Your driver waits for you in the arrivals area of your terminal (Orly 1, 2, 3 or 4), holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free. Once you have your luggage, message us on WhatsApp and your driver walks you to the car.

Samantha's tips

  1. At Paris Orly Airport (ORY)

    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.

  2. At Central Paris

    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.

  3. On this journey

    Orly is the closest airport to central Paris, and metro line 14 reaches Châtelet in about 25 minutes. But after a flight it still means your luggage on busy platforms, a change or a walk to your hotel, and a €14 airport ticket for each traveller. Your driver meets you in the arrivals area with a name sign, tracks your flight with 60 minutes of free waiting, and takes you to your door at a price agreed before you fly.

Our verdict

Travelling alone with light luggage, metro line 14 is the quickest cheap way into Paris at €14, about 25 minutes to Châtelet. After a flight with suitcases, children or a group, a private driver is the easier choice: met in the arrivals area with your name on a sign, flight tracked, 60 minutes of free waiting, and driven to your door by Samantha Travels for €110 for the whole car, about €37 each for three travellers.
