Lyft doesn't operate in Paris, but Uber does. I've taken several Ubers in Paris. Just note that most drivers may not speak English--the Google Translate app came in handy. I prefer Uber because you know they'll accept cards and you know the price up front.

For those wondering about Lyft, it currently does not operate in Europe, so you can't use it in Paris. If you don't want to deal with ride-sharing apps, a taxi from Charles de Gaulle Airport or Orly Airport to Paris (and vice versa) is fixed at a flat rate.

Bolt tends to have better pricing then either FreeNow or Uber. I just want to second the recommendations for the G7 taxi app in Paris. It works well, has a complete version in English, and the taxis are allowed to use the bus lanes--Uber is not allowed to use them.

Yes. Uber is definitely a safe option in France. I've always loved the fact that the Uber App tracks everything for you, including license plate numbers. Plus, if you don't speak French, there isn't that worry about language barriers, as everything is booked in the App.

Trust us, we took BlaBlaCar multiple times in France and met some really friendly people while barely speaking any French! There was always someone in the car, whether it was the driver or another passenger, who knew English. It's a pretty safe bet.

Using Uber in Paris is a good option in many situations, even if you're on a budget. Between the airport (CDG) and the center of Paris Uber turns out to be cheaper than RER tickets for 4 people, and it's also a lot more pleasant.

Should You Take an Uber From the Airport. I would get a taxi at both the CDG and ORY airports. Both Charles de Gaulle and Paris Orly have taxi stands outside, which move fast. If you reserve a taxi in advance, there's a €7 additional fee, which could make a taxi more expensive.

Tipping in France is not mandatory. Even though it is always appreciated, it's up to the customers to decide if they want to tip or not. Unlike other countries, the price of the service is included in the total cost of the bill. You will never be asked to tip, but it's common to leave one if the service was good.
