Taxi Alternative
in Paris
Paris has three airports and a limited traffic zone over its oldest arrondissements. A booked car means a chauffeur who knows which terminal, which entrance and which route is actually open, with the fare agreed before you leave.
Why Paris rewards
the car booked in advance
Three airports serve the city and none of them is close. Roissy Charles de Gaulle sits around twenty-five kilometres to the north-east, Orly around eighteen to the south, Le Bourget, the busiest business aviation field in Europe, a little over a dozen. Add the périphérique, the Crit’Air rules and a limited traffic zone that has covered the first four arrondissements since November 2024, and the difference between a prepared arrival and an improvised one is measured in hours.

Five things that change
in this city
Paris is not difficult to drive in. It is difficult to drive in without knowing the rules. Here is what a prepared arrival looks like here.
Roissy has three terminal areas and Orly four, and the buildings are far enough apart that the wrong one costs real time. The terminal is confirmed with your flight number before you land.
Le Bourget handles more business aviation than any other airport in Europe, twelve kilometres from the centre. We coordinate with your handler there rather than waiting at a public gate.
Since November 2024 a limited traffic zone covers the first four arrondissements, where through traffic is barred. Taxis and licensed private hire vehicles are expressly allowed to cross it, and any vehicle with a destination inside may enter, so a hotel on the Rue de Rivoli or a dinner near the Louvre stays reachable by car.
Every vehicle carries the Crit’Air clearance the Greater Paris low emission zone requires, which is not something you can verify at the kerb.
Fashion Week in March and again in September, Roland-Garros in late spring and the trade calendar at Porte de Versailles all reshape the traffic for days at a time. Those weeks are planned rather than discovered.

The private chauffeur transfer from Paris to Lyon takes approximately 4 hours 30 minutes (465 km via A6). My Private Service offers fixed-rate city-to-city transfers between Paris and Lyon with a professional driver. Private chauffeur Lyon.
Can I hire a private chauffeur in Paris for the full day?
Yes. We offer full-day chauffeur hire in Paris from a 4-hour minimum. Your personal chauffeur remains at your disposal throughout, ideal for business meetings, airport connections, shopping or sightseeing.
Is your Paris chauffeur service available 24/7?
Yes. Our private chauffeur service in Paris operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including public holidays. Early morning CDG pickups and late-night transfers are always welcome.
Which Paris airport do you cover?
All three. Roissy Charles de Gaulle around twenty-five kilometres north-east, Orly around eighteen kilometres south, and Le Bourget, the busiest business aviation airport in Europe, twelve kilometres from the centre.
Can a car still enter the limited traffic zone in central Paris?
Yes. The zone covers the first four arrondissements and bars through traffic, but taxis and licensed private hire vehicles are expressly permitted to cross it, and any vehicle whose destination lies inside may enter. A hotel or a restaurant in the zone remains a normal drop-off.
Do your vehicles meet the Crit’Air low emission rules?
Yes, every vehicle carries the clearance the Greater Paris low emission zone requires. It is one of the things that quietly separates a prepared service from an improvised one.
How long does it take from Roissy to central Paris?
Around forty-five minutes when the A1 and the périphérique are moving, and considerably more at the start and the end of the working day. The pick-up is timed to your flight, and the route is chosen on the day.
Can you take us to Versailles, Reims or Deauville?
Yes. Day trips and long distance runs out of Paris are part of the service, with the same chauffeur for the whole journey and the rate agreed beforehand.
Is the rate fixed before I travel?
Always, in writing, before anything is confirmed. There is no meter in the car and the amount does not change for traffic or for waiting at the airport.
What if my flight is delayed or diverted?
We track the flight from departure. A delay simply moves the pickup and costs nothing extra. If you are diverted to another airport, call the dispatch desk and we reposition a car, which we do rather more often than people expect.
Where exactly will the chauffeur be waiting?
Inside the arrivals hall, past customs, with a name board. You receive the chauffeur name, mobile number and vehicle details before you board, so you can reach each other without going through an app.
How much waiting time is included after landing?
An hour on international arrivals and thirty minutes on domestic, counted from the moment the aircraft is on the ground rather than from the time you booked. It is rarely needed, but it is there.
Can you meet a Eurostar or a TGV?
Yes, at Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse and Gare de l Est. Give us the train number and the chauffeur meets you at the end of the platform area rather than at the taxi rank.
Do you carry child seats?
Yes, baby seats, child seats and boosters, fitted before you arrive. Tell us the ages when you book. There is no charge for them.
Which vehicle will be sent for an airport transfer?
An E-Class for one or two passengers travelling light, an S-Class when you want the quiet of a large saloon after a long flight, and a V-Class for three or more or for a family with several cases. We size it to the luggage you tell us about, not to the number of seats.
Can you handle a group arriving on the same flight?
Yes. Several vehicles can meet the same flight with one chauffeur coordinating the group, which for a company arrival or a wedding party is far calmer than everyone finding their own car.
How do I pay for the transfer?
The price is agreed and confirmed in writing before you travel, then settled by card or bank transfer with a proper invoice. There is no payment in the car and no discussion of money with the chauffeur.
The taxi rank starts when you reach it.
Your car starts when your flight lands.
The part of a transfer that goes wrong is almost never the driving. It is the twenty minutes before it: the walk to a rank you cannot see from arrivals, the queue that moves at the pace of the family in front, the driver who has never heard of your hotel. We work the other way round. Your flight number is in the booking, the arrival board is watched, and if you land early the chauffeur is early. If you sit on the tarmac for an hour, nobody charges you for weather.
At Roissy and Orly the chauffeur waits inside, in the arrivals hall, with your name discreetly displayed, and helps with the trolley from the belt to the car. At Le Bourget the car comes to the aircraft where the handler allows it, which for most business aviation arrivals means you never cross a terminal at all. For a late landing, when the terminal is emptying and the rank has given up, that difference is the whole point.
Paris is also a rail city, and the same applies at Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon and Gare Montparnasse. Eurostar and TGV arrivals are met on the platform end of the concourse rather than at a taxi line three levels down, which matters when you are travelling with children, with a lot of luggage, or simply at the end of a long day.
Everything about the journey is agreed before it starts: the vehicle, the chauffeur, the route and the price. No meter, no surcharge for the boot, no surprise because the traffic was bad. If your plans change in the air, the dispatch desk is staffed around the clock and the booking moves with you.
The numbers behind a Paris transfer are worth knowing. Roissy Charles de Gaulle is roughly twenty-five kilometres north-east of the centre and takes about forty-five minutes when the ring road behaves, comfortably more at the end of the afternoon. Orly is around eighteen kilometres south and usually quicker. Le Bourget is a little over a dozen kilometres out and is the fastest of the three when the traffic is kind. Disneyland is about forty kilometres east, and the Champagne houses around Reims a hundred and forty on the motorway.
