Can Uber pick up at Paris airport?

Looking for an alternative to the traditional Orly Airport shuttle or taxi? Whether you're heading from Orly Airport to Paris or Paris to Orly Airport, get where you're going with the Uber app you already know. Request a ride to and from ORY at the tap of a button.



Yes, Uber is fully authorized to pick up passengers at both Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris-Orly (ORY) airports in 2026, but the process is highly regulated and requires you to go to a specific "Rideshare" meeting point. Unlike standard taxis, Uber drivers in Paris are classified as VTC (Véhicule de Tourisme avec Chauffeur) and are strictly prohibited from picking up passengers at the curbside outside "Arrivals." When you request an Uber at CDG, the app will automatically direct you to a designated "Professional Parking" zone—for example, at Terminal 2E, you must follow signs for "Pro Parking" near Gate 6. At Orly, pick-ups are typically handled in the Pro Parking areas of Terminals 1, 2, and 3 or Terminal 4. It is essential to wait until you have cleared customs and collected your luggage before requesting your ride, as French law requires VTC drivers to wait outside the airport perimeter until they receive a specific "digital dispatch." The cost of an Uber from CDG to central Paris is generally a competitive alternative to the fixed-rate taxi fares (which range from €56 to €65 in 2026), but prices can surge during peak traffic or rainy weather.
