Paris taxi tariffs A, B, and C explained, CDG and Orly airport fixed fares, and Bolt vs G7 vs Uber comparison for 2026.
Paris taxis use a three-tariff system (A, B, C) that changes by time and destination zone. Airport trips now have regulated fixed fares. Here's what you need to know in 2026.
The CDG/Orly fixed fares are mandatory for licensed Paris taxis from the airport. If a driver quotes more, show them the regulated tariff (available on the Paris Police Prefecture website).
How much is a taxi from CDG to Paris city centre?
The fixed regulated fare is €56 to the Right Bank and €65 to the Left Bank. No meter — it's a flat rate.
Is Uber legal in Paris?
Yes — Uber VTC (private hire vehicles) are legal in Paris. Bolt is also available. Both are typically €10–20 cheaper than taxis for longer trips.
Should I tip Paris taxi drivers?
Tipping is not obligatory in France. Rounding up to the next euro or adding €1–2 for good service is customary.
