Orlyval Express metro + RER train
There is no direct access to the train station at Orly Airport. However, there is a convenient and fast link to the RER train station, which will take you to the centre of Paris or the metro.
To get to the station from Orly airport, you can take the Orlyval, an automatic light metro that has only three stops: the RER Antony station (line B) in the south of Paris, and two at the airport itself – terminals 1-2 and 4. It should be noted that travel between terminals is free and a trip into the city (Orlyval+RER) costs 14.5 euros.
Ticket offices and machines are located outside the entrance to the station and are easy to find by following the Orlyval signs. Orlyval is open from 6:00 to 23:30, with trains running every 4-7 minutes.
Taxi
You can try to find a free car at the exit of the terminal or call one in advance for the time of your arrival through a specialised website. The option of booking a taxi online is more reliable. With an online booking, the full fare is calculated in advance and known to the passenger. This eliminates the possibility of price gouging, and the driver is interested in getting you to your destination as quickly as possible.
Prenájom auta
Almost all the major European car hire companies are represented in Paris-Orly Airport terminals and you can book a car there if you wish. However, registering your car on site often results in a significant increase in the cost of the car.
