Taxi from Orly — how to avoid scams

  1. Follow the black-and-white "Taxis" signs from arrivals to the official rank outside the terminal.
  2. Ignore anyone inside offering "taxi?" / "transport" — unlicensed, no flat fare.
  3. Verify it's a real Paris taxi:
    • Roof sign "Taxi Parisien" (green light = free, red = occupied)
    • Taximeter visible on dashboard
    • Fare + licence notice on rear left window
    • Small black plate "PARIS + licence #" on front right fender
  4. Tell the driver: "Forfait Orly – Paris Rive Gauche, Porte de Versailles, s'il vous plaît" → fixed €36 to Left Bank.
  5. If the driver refuses the flat fare, step back and take the next taxi.
  6. Pay €36 + small tip (round up to €40). Card accepted in most Paris taxis.
