Taxi or private transfer from Orly Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport?

The airport taxi fare from Orly Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Orly Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Orly Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Charles de Gaulle Airport involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Charles de Gaulle Airport, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport to Charles de Gaulle Airport: is there a bus, train or metro?

The RER B from CDG and the Orlyval-RER from Orly reach the centre in 35-50 minutes, and they are fine for a light traveller, but they end with stairs, gates and a metro change with luggage; Roissybus and Orlybus stop at fixed points. A car takes the périphérique straight to the hotel door, and to Disneyland or Versailles directly.

So the honest comparison for Charles de Gaulle Airport is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Orly Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Charles de Gaulle Airport transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Charles de Gaulle Airport transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
