Private Transfer Compared with Other Transport Options
What you choose will depend on your budget, when you arrive, the luggage you have, and your destination.
| Transport Option | Typical Journey | Pricing | Direct to Your Address? | Best Suited To |
|---|
| Private transfer | Usually 25–50 minutes | Fixed in advance | Yes | Families, groups, late arrivals, and passengers with luggage |
| Train and metro | Journey time varies by connection | Usually lower | No | Light travellers comfortable with station changes |
| Airport taxi | Depends on traffic and queue time | May vary by destination and conditions | Yes | Passengers who prefer to arrange transport after landing |
| Bus | Usually slower because of stops and traffic | Budget-friendly | No | Travellers prioritising a lower fare |

Other Ways to Travel from Orly Airport to Paris
Train and metro
Rail transport provides an inexpensive means of getting to Paris. The trip might include walking around the stations, changing trains, and then taking the metro, according to the destination and the route chosen.
It is practical for single travellers who have only light luggage, but changes will be less convenient for families, passengers using strollers, or those who are carrying multiple bags.
Bus
Although bus services are usually cheap, the journey times can be longer due to the scheduled stops and road traffic, and passengers might have to use a different mode of transport to get from the bus stop to their final destination.
Airport taxi
Taxis can be obtained at Orly Airport both during the day and at night, and the time you have to wait will vary according to the length of the queue and the number of passengers arriving.
Uber and ride-hailing apps
It is convenient to use an app-based transport service when a driver is nearby, but prices and waiting times can go up during busy arrival periods.
