How much does a private chauffeur cost per hour in Paris?
For a day of meetings, an evening out or a sightseeing tour, our hourly chauffeur service keeps the same chauffeur and the same vehicle with you for the whole time booked. The price is fixed and includes VAT, with a 3-hour minimum. It is also the price of a van with driver for a small group who want to keep the same vehicle all day.
| Duration | Sedan | Prestige sedan | 7-seat van |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 hour (3-hour minimum) | €95 | €165 | €135 |
| 4 hours | €380 | €655 | €530 |
| 8 hours | €720 | €1255 | €1010 |
| 12 hours | €1020 | €1790 | €1430 |
Fuel, tolls, short-stay parking and waiting time are covered, and 40 km are included per hour booked. Each additional hour is charged at the vehicle's hourly rate, and any hour started is charged in full.
What affects the price?
- The route: the distance and the driving time. This is why a Charles de Gaulle – Paris transfer costs more than an Orly – Paris transfer.
- The vehicle: a prestige sedan or a van costs more than a sedan.
- The duration: for an hourly chauffeur, the number of hours booked.
- Waiting time: 60 minutes are included at the airport; beyond that, any extra waiting time is agreed with us in advance.
- What does not change: the time of your journey. Our prices are the same day or night, on weekdays and at weekends.
Paris airport fares: private chauffeur, taxi or ride-hailing app?
Paris taxis charge official flat rates between Paris and the airports, set each year by government order. In 2026, they are €56 between Charles de Gaulle and the Right Bank of Paris, €65 between Charles de Gaulle and the Left Bank, €45 between Orly and the Right Bank and €36 between Orly and the Left Bank. When you book a Paris taxi, a supplement of €4 (immediate booking) or €7 (advance booking) may be added. Ride-hailing apps, for their part, show a variable price depending on demand, the time of day and traffic. These fares are those in force in November 2026 and change every year.
| Criterion | Private chauffeur | Paris taxi | Ride-hailing app |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price to the airport | Fixed, given before booking | Official flat rate | Varies with demand |
| On arrival | Name board at the arrivals exit | Terminal taxi rank | Pick-up area outside |
| Vehicle | Chosen in advance (sedan, van…) | Whichever is next in the queue | Depends on the category chosen |
| Payment | Online, before the journey | On board, at the end of the ride (card accepted) | In the app |
For a simple journey from Orly to the Left Bank, a taxi is often cheaper. A private chauffeur has the edge when you want a personal welcome, a vehicle chosen ahead of time, room for a group with lots of luggage or a price known in advance, even at peak times.
