A Paris airport transfer from Detailed Drivers is the fixed-price, no-surge way in and out of Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Orly (ORY), and Le Bourget (LBG) — engine-priced all-in with English-speaking chauffeurs, real-time flight tracking, and inside-terminal meet-and-greet by name. CDG sits about 16 miles northeast of central Paris via the A1, Orly about 9 miles south via the A6, so a pre-booked chauffeur reaches the 1st through 8th arrondissements, La Défense, and Disneyland Paris without the metered-taxi guesswork.
This is the airport spine of the car service in Paris hub; the dedicated CDG airport transfer page covers Charles de Gaulle terminals 1/2/3 in depth, the Orly airport transfer page covers ORY terminals 1–4, and the Le Bourget private jet transfer page covers LBG business aviation. Arrivals continue as an executive black car service in Paris or hourly chauffeur service in Paris, and groups take a Sprinter van rental in Paris.

CDG vs Orly: the two main Paris airports compared
Paris has two main commercial airports Detailed Drivers serves daily, plus Le Bourget for private aviation. CDG Charles de Gaulle handles most international and transatlantic flights; Orly concentrates short-haul European and domestic traffic. Knowing which you fly into shapes the route, the drive time, and the meet-and-greet.
Charles de Gaulle (CDG)
The larger international hub, about 16 miles northeast of central Paris via the A1 — a 45–60 minute drive. Terminal 1 is the round original; Terminal 2 (2A through 2G) is the Air France long-haul and SkyTeam home; Terminal 3 handles point-to-point European and charter flights. Detailed Drivers meets transatlantic and intercontinental arrivals inside the terminal with a name board past customs. See the CDG airport page for terminal detail.
Orly (ORY)
The closer airport, about 9 miles south of central Paris via the A6 — a 30–40 minute drive and the faster route to the Left Bank and southern suburbs. Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 now sit under one consolidated building serving short-haul European, domestic French, and leisure flights. The chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall by name. See the Orly airport page for terminal detail.

Is a Paris airport transfer better than the RER B train, taxi, or Uber?
For visitors, self-drive and driving yourself rarely make sense — central Paris parking, the Périphérique ring, and unfamiliar one-way streets add friction after a long flight, which is why most travellers compare a chauffeur against the RER B rail line, the airport buses, taxis, and Uber rather than a rental car.
| Option | What happens at CDG / Orly | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Detailed Drivers | English-speaking chauffeur tracking your flight, inside-terminal meet-and-greet with a name board, one fixed all-in price, no surge — at CDG, Orly, and Le Bourget. | Executives, families, VIP and group arrivals. |
| RER B train | The RER B runs from CDG to Gare du Nord and Châtelet–Les Halles; from Orly via the Orlyval link. Value route, but you haul luggage through busy interchanges with no meet. | Solo travellers with light luggage. |
| Roissybus / Orlybus | The Roissybus runs CDG to Opéra and the Orlybus runs Orly to Denfert-Rochereau on a fixed shuttle route, with stops and walking at both ends and no door-to-door service. | Travellers near the single bus terminus. |
| Paris taxi | Regulated taxi stand outside arrivals with a fixed fare to central Paris, but supplements for luggage and a fourth passenger, no flight tracking, and no pre-arranged meet inside the terminal. | Short trips when not pre-booking. |
| Uber | Pickup from the designated rideshare zone outside the terminal; surges during rush hour, Fashion Week, and transit strikes, with the curb hunt after a long flight. | Solo travellers when flexible on price. |
Flight tracking and inside-terminal meet-and-greet at CDG and Orly
Every Paris airport transfer booking is flight-tracked from wheels-up. The English-speaking chauffeur watches your inbound flight in real time across CDG terminals 1, 2, and 3 and the consolidated Orly terminal, so a delay, an early landing, or a gate change never leaves you waiting or paying extra. Complimentary wait time is built into the reservation, and there is no surge for a late flight.
For arrivals at CDG and Orly, the chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name board, waiting past the customs and baggage exit so you are met by name rather than searching a crowded curb — useful for first-time visitors, VIPs, and families clearing passport control on Air France, Delta, United, American, British Airways, Emirates, or Qatar Airways. This is the difference from a metered taxi rank: you are found, not left to find a queue.
At Le Bourget, the experience is simpler still: the chauffeur stages on the FBO ramp with your tail number tracked, so you step off the private jet and into the car. Groups arriving together on one flight ride from CDG or Orly to a single Paris address in the Sprinter Van — book it through the Paris Sprinter van page.
When to book a Paris airport transfer
Fashion Week & trade fairs
Paris Fashion Week, VivaTech, and the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget fill hotels and spike rideshare prices. Book CDG and Orly transfers and venue runs well ahead.
Disneyland Paris & family trips
For a family landing at CDG with luggage and strollers, the First Class SUV or Sprinter Van runs straight to Disneyland Paris at Marne-la-Vallée in one vehicle — reserve early in school holidays.
Group arrivals
For a wedding party or team landing together at Orly or CDG, the Sprinter Van brings everyone to one Paris address in a single vehicle — book ahead in peak summer season.
Red-eye & transit strikes
Book the night before for early CDG departures and pre-dawn long-haul arrivals — and lock in a transfer ahead of the SNCF and RATP strikes that periodically disrupt the RER B.
