Chauffeur-driven car hire in Paris: what determines the price?
Airport transfer, a day of meetings or an evening out: the price of a car with driver in Paris depends on the type of service, the vehicle, the route and the time of day. Here is how it is built, so you can read a quote with confidence.
Transfer, hourly disposal or full-day package
A transfer to an airport or train station is charged per trip, at a fixed price: traffic jams do not change the bill. The disposal service is charged by the hour, often with a minimum of two or three hours. The full-day package suits busy schedules: back-to-back meetings, roadshows or sightseeing.
The vehicle and the number of seats
A Mercedes E-Class sedan costs less than an S-Class, the prestige limousine. The V-Class van seats six to eight people with their luggage. Beyond that, a group will need a minibus or a coach, with specific pricing. Discover our fleet of vehicles.
The route, the duration and the time
Distance, driving time, trips outside Paris to the Île-de-France region or further afield, round trips with waiting time on site: each factor affects the price. At night, at weekends and during major Paris events (trade fairs, Fashion Week, Roland-Garros), demand rises: booking early guarantees the availability of your driver and of the vehicle you want.
What is included and what may be added
At SB Drivers, prices include VAT, the driver's service, fuel and passenger insurance. Depending on the service, plan for tolls, parking, the driver's accommodation for trips outside Paris or abroad, a meal allowance when the job covers lunch or dinner time (except transfers), and waiting time beyond one hour. Cancellation terms are detailed in our terms and conditions.
Some price benchmarks
- Transfer between Orly and Roissy-CDG by sedan: from around €120.
- Roissy-CDG – Paris transfer by premium sedan: from around €100.
- Disposal service: from €65 per hour by sedan and €70 by van.
These starting prices, observed in 2026 among premium chauffeur companies in Paris, give an order of magnitude. Only a quote reflects your actual needs.
How to get a reliable quote?
Give the date, times, addresses, number of passengers and pieces of luggage, and any special requirements (meet and greet, child seat…). Then compare what is included rather than the amount alone: an unusually low price often hides extra costs. Private client, company or group, contact us for a quote tailored to your private chauffeur service.
Frequently asked questions
Does traffic change the price of a transfer?
No. A transfer booked with a driver is charged at the agreed price, unlike a taxi and its meter.
Should I book in advance?
Yes, especially during major events: it is the best way to get the vehicle you want at the time you need it.
