Paris Orly pick-up points: taxi, Uber and drivers by terminal
Orly is easier than Charles de Gaulle: Orly 1, 2 and 3 are one long building, Orly 4 is the southern terminal, and the free Orlyval links them. Each still has its own taxi rank, ride-app zone and car park. These are the pick-up points as the airport and the operators give them, with what a friend collecting you pays.
The 30-second version
Official taxis wait at the rank outside arrivals: level 0, gate 14a for Orly 1 and 2, and level 0, gate 48a for Orly 4, at a fixed €45 to the Right Bank and €36 to the Left Bank. Uber picks up beyond exit 10a in Orly 1 and 2, and through exit 48A in Orly 4. Metro line 14 leaves from the Aéroport d'Orly station by Orly 3. A friend collecting you should use the terminal car park: first 10 minutes free, the next 20 for €5.

Being picked up by a friend: where to wait and what it costs
Stopping in front of the terminals is not allowed outside the drop-off zones and the terminal car parks, and both give you the first 10 minutes free. After that, a drop-off zone, signed in orange, costs €1 a minute, so half an hour is €20, and a car left for more than an hour and a half is towed. A terminal car park charges €5 for the next 20 minutes, and Paris Aéroport says you will not be fined or towed for overstaying there. Use P1 for Orly 1 and 2, P3 for Orly 3 and P4a or P4b for Orly 4. Pay at the exit by card only.

For a taxi booked ahead, Paris Aéroport lists G7, Alpha Taxis and ABC Taxis; a standard taxi takes four and a van up to seven.
Late at night
Taxis serve the ranks 24 hours a day at the same fixed fares. Line 14 runs until around midnight and Orlyval until 23:35. After that, Noctilien night buses, including the N22, N31 and N131, link the airport with Châtelet and Gare de Lyon. The drop-off zones close from 00:30 to 03:30, so a friend meeting a late flight should use a terminal car park.
