Orly's four terminals in brief
Orly Airport, south of Paris, has four passenger terminals numbered 1 to 4. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 share one connected building complex (the former Orly Ouest), while Terminal 4 (the former Orly Sud) is a separate building linked by a covered walkway. Airlines move between terminals over time, so always check your boarding pass or booking confirmation for the exact terminal rather than guessing by airline or route.
All four terminals sit within the same airport perimeter, only a few minutes apart by road, so the terminal you land in makes little difference to your overall journey time.
Where your driver meets you
Whichever terminal you arrive at, your driver waits at the arrivals (ground floor) exit, right after baggage claim and customs. There's no need to walk to another terminal or cross to a different building:
- •Terminal 1, 2 or 3: driver waits at the relevant arrivals exit of the connected complex
- •Terminal 4: driver waits at the Terminal 4 arrivals exit, on the other side of the airport
Your flight is tracked in real time, so pickup is timed to your actual landing, not the scheduled one — useful if you land early, late, or after a delay. The driver holds a name board, helps with luggage, and walks you to the car, which is parked close by. Fifteen minutes of waiting time is included after landing; beyond that, waiting is charged.
How long to central Paris
From any Orly terminal, central Paris is normally 25 to 45 minutes away by road, depending on traffic and time of day. The fixed price from central Paris to Orly (tolls included, daytime rate) is:
- •Standard car: €49
- •VIP sedan: €75
- •7-seat van: €95
A night surcharge may apply outside daytime hours. These are fixed, all-inclusive fares with no surge pricing — the price agreed at booking is the price paid at the end of the ride. See the Orly transfer page or the full fare list for details.
Connecting onward from Orly
If your trip doesn't end in central Paris, fixed fares also cover common connections:
- •Orly ↔ CDG: €95 / €109 / €135, roughly 35 to 50 minutes
- •Orly → Disneyland Paris: €95 / €120 / €145, roughly 45 to 60 minutes
- •Orly → Versailles: from €70, around 35 to 55 minutes depending on destination within Versailles
Any other trip or destination can be quoted on request or estimated instantly online.

Booking and payment
Booking is made in advance online; payment happens at the end of the ride, by card, cash or bank transfer, with an instant invoice sent right after. There's no subscription, no monthly billing and no corporate account — just a fixed quote per ride. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; inside that window, the full fare applies. Drivers speak French and English.
Practical tips for an easy Orly pickup
- •Keep your phone on and check messages after landing in case of a gate or terminal change
- •Head straight to the arrivals exit of the terminal shown on your boarding pass
- •Look for the driver holding your name board rather than searching for a taxi rank
- •For a return trip to the airport, book the same way and allow the same 25 to 45 minute window
