CDG and Orly meeting point: where to find your driver

You have landed and collected your cases: so where is the driver? In arrivals, holding a board with your name. This page sets out, terminal by terminal, where your driver waits at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Orly, what changes with the new terminal names in March 2027, and what to do if you cannot see them.

The principle

One rule everywhere: arrivals hall, name board

Whatever the terminal, the driver stands in arrivals where passengers come out from baggage reclaim, holding a board with the passenger's name. You do not have to hunt for them in a car park or join a taxi queue: Paris-CDG has dedicated areas for taxis and chauffeur-driven cars, and your driver comes to you, then walks you to the car.

We track the flight by its number. If the plane lands early or late, the pick-up follows the landing time. The 60 minutes of free waiting start from the actual landing, which covers passport control and the wait at the baggage belt.

Paris-Charles de Gaulle

At CDG: three terminals and their future names

Paris-Charles de Gaulle, about 25 km from central Paris, has three terminals: 1, 2 (split into seven halls, 2A to 2G) and 3. On 16 March 2027 most of them are renamed, and gate letters change too; the walking routes inside the airport stay the same. We give both names below.

Terminal 1

Keeps its name after 16 March 2027

Linked to the "Aéroport CDG 1" RER station by the free CDGVAL automatic shuttle. Where the driver waits: [CDG T1 MEETING POINT: to be confirmed].

Terminal 2 (halls 2A to 2G)

On 16 March 2027: 2A and 2C → Terminal 3 · 2B and 2D → Terminal 4 · 2E → Terminal 5 · 2F → Terminal 6 · 2G → Terminal 7

Seven halls served by the "Aéroport CDG 2" station; 2G is reached by the free N2 shuttle from 2F. The driver waits at the arrivals exit of your hall: [CDG T2 MEETING POINT: to be confirmed, hall by hall].

Terminal 3

Becomes Terminal 2 on 16 March 2027

A five-minute walk from the "Aéroport CDG 1" station. Where the driver waits: [CDG T3 MEETING POINT: to be confirmed]. Watch out for the coming mix-up: today's Terminal 3 will be called Terminal 2.

Paris-Orly

At Orly: four terminals, two sides

Orly, about 14 km south of Paris, has had four terminals since 2019: Orly 1, 2 and 3 on the west side and Orly 4 on the south side. The old names "Orly Sud" and "Orly Ouest" are gone, though you may still hear them. The metro line 14 station is next to Orly 3. According to RATP, Orly's terminals close between 00:30 and 03:30, which only affects the very last arrivals.

Orly 1, 2 and 3

West side

The three west-side terminals; the taxi rank is outside, at door 32a. Your driver waits for you at the arrivals exit instead, with a name board. Meeting spot: [ORLY 1-2-3 MEETING POINT: to be confirmed].

If you cannot see them

You are out and there is no name board in sight

  1. Stay in arrivals

    Do not leave the baggage reclaim exit area: that is where your driver is looking for you.

  2. Do not follow anyone else

    If a driver approaches you without a board bearing your name, they are not yours. A private hire driver only takes passengers who have booked.

  3. Call us

    On 07 45 23 23 75, the number in your confirmation. Give your name and flight number.

  4. We put you in touch

    Your driver knows you have arrived and comes to you. While the free waiting time is running, nothing is charged.

Free waiting is 60 minutes from landing. If getting out looks like taking longer (lost bag, extended checks), let us know: beyond the free time, extra waiting follows the rate on our prices page.

Departures

Catching a flight: drop-off outside the terminal

The other way round, the driver collects you from your address and drops you outside your departure terminal. At Paris-CDG there are drop-off zones in front of every terminal, marked with orange signs; at 2E, the arrivals and departures zones are separate. At Orly there are four drop-off zones in front of the terminals. Parking and tolls are included in the price: there is nothing to pay at the barrier.

Give your flight time and airline in the request and we will set the pick-up time from your address to match. Airport prices and the other practical points for the day are on our CDG ↔ Paris transfer, Orly ↔ Paris transfer and how it works pages.

Frequently asked questions about meeting points

Where will the driver wait for me at the airport?

In your terminal's arrivals hall, once you are past baggage reclaim, holding a board with your name. The exact spot for each terminal will be given here and in your confirmation.

How does the driver know which terminal I am arriving at?

From your flight number, which you give in the request. It tells us the scheduled terminal and the actual landing time; if the time changes, the pick-up moves with it.

How long will the driver wait?

60 minutes free, counted from the actual landing: time to clear passport control and collect your bags. Beyond that, waiting is charged by the hour, at the rate on our prices page.

I cannot see the driver when I come out: what should I do?

Stay in the arrivals area, do not follow any other driver who approaches you, and call us on the number in your confirmation. Your driver is tracking your flight and knows your name: they will come to you.

Are the Paris-CDG terminals being renamed?

Yes, on 16 March 2027: 2A and 2C become Terminal 3, 2B and 2D Terminal 4, 2E Terminal 5, 2F Terminal 6, 2G Terminal 7, today's Terminal 3 becomes Terminal 2, and Terminal 1 keeps its name. Old name or new, your flight number is all we need.

How many terminals does Orly have?

Four since 2019: Orly 1, 2 and 3 on the west side, Orly 4 on the south side. They replace the old names Orly Sud and Orly Ouest.

And for a departure to the airport?

The driver collects you from your address and drops you outside your departure terminal, in the designated drop-off area. Parking and tolls are included in the price.
