Pariser Taxi-Tarife (2026)
All licensed Paris taxis are required to use the taximeter. There is no negotiating or flat-rate haggling for city journeys — every trip starts with a €4.00 flag fall and the meter runs based on one of three tariffs depending on when and where you are travelling. The tariff letter (A, B, or C) is displayed on a small light on the roof of the cab and on the meter display inside.

Typical Paris Taxi Fares by Route
The following estimates are based on metered Tariff A (daytime weekday) with no supplements. Add 30–40% for Tariff B (evenings/Sundays) and 70% for Tariff C (late night).
Fixed Fares from Paris Airports (Mandatory)
Since 2016, licensed taxis must charge fixed regulated fares for journeys between Paris airports and the city. These are not optional — a driver who tries to run the meter for your CDG or Orly airport ride is breaking the law.
The CDG and Orly fixed fares are mandatory for licensed Paris taxis. If a driver claims the meter applies or quotes a higher amount, cite the Paris Police Prefecture regulated tariff. You can show them the official Paris taxi fare page on your phone. Supplements for additional passengers (4th passenger) and large luggage still apply on top of the fixed fare.
Uber, Bolt & G7 — Ride-Share vs Licensed Taxi
Uber VTC (voitures de transport avec chauffeur) are legal in Paris and operate alongside licensed taxis. Bolt, Marcel, and Chauffeur Privé are also active. For airport runs the fixed taxi rate is often competitive, but for city journeys VTCs can be noticeably cheaper.
How to Pay
Licensed Paris taxis are legally required to accept credit and debit cards for any journey over €5.00 (contactless and chip-and-pin). Cash is always accepted. Uber and Bolt are cashless by default — payment is processed automatically via your account. If a taxi driver claims their card machine is "broken," this is a common scam — insist on card payment or use a different cab.
Scam Warnings
Unofficial taxis (clandestine drivers) operate near CDG Terminal 2 and outside busy train stations like Gare du Nord. They approach travellers, claim to be official, and then demand €80–€150 for a city run. Never accept a ride from someone who approaches you — always go to an official taxi rank (marked with a blue "Taxi" sign) or book via G7 or Uber.
- •Driver skips the airport fixed rate and runs the meter — refuse and cite the regulated fixed fare.
- •"Scenic route" to inflate the fare — share your live location with someone or watch Google Maps.
- •Broken card reader claimed to force cash payment — insist or exit and take another cab.
- •Fake taxi rank near CDG Terminal 1 drop-off — always use the official rank at arrivals level.
- •Baggage fee inflation — the supplement is €1 per large item, not €5 per bag.
Tipping in Paris Taxis
Tipping is not expected or obligatory in France. Most Parisian passengers round up to the nearest euro or add €1–2 for exceptional service. For airport runs or late-night journeys, a 5–10% tip is appreciated but never assumed. If you pay by card, many taxi card readers now include a tip prompt — it's fine to select zero.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
How much is a taxi from CDG Airport to Paris city centre?
The mandatory fixed fare is €56 to the Right Bank (1st–10th, 17th–20th arrondissements) and €65 to the Left Bank (5th, 6th, 7th, 13th–15th arrondissements). The meter should not run — it's a flat rate regardless of traffic.
How much is a taxi from Orly Airport to Paris?
The fixed fare is €35 to the Left Bank and €41 to the Right Bank. These are mandatory regulated prices for licensed taxis. Uber and Bolt are also available from Orly at similar or slightly lower prices.
Is Uber legal and safe in Paris?
Yes. Uber VTC is fully legal in France. Drivers are licensed and insured. Uber, Bolt, and Marcel are all legitimate alternatives to licensed taxis. For city trips they are often €5–15 cheaper than taxis. For airport journeys the difference is smaller since taxis have fixed fares.
What is the difference between Tariff A, B, and C in Paris?
Tariff A (€1.14/km) applies Monday–Saturday 10 am–5 pm within Paris. Tariff B (€1.57/km) applies evenings, weekends, public holidays, and all airport and suburban journeys. Tariff C (€2.00/km) applies between midnight and 7 am and for long-distance or out-of-region trips.
Can I hail a Paris taxi on the street?
Yes — a green roof light means the taxi is available. You can hail from the street or find an official taxi rank (look for a blue "Taxi" sign). Alternatively, book via the G7 app (largest fleet, 8,500+ cabs) or Taxis Bleus.
Are there fake taxis at CDG Airport?
Yes. Unlicensed drivers regularly approach travellers at Terminal 2 and claim to be official taxis. They charge 2–3× the legal rate. Always use the official taxi rank at the arrivals exit (marked with a blue sign) or pre-book via G7 or a transfer service.
