Partner article: Taxis to Roissy or Orly airports often exceed my budget, and buses or the RER aren't always convenient.
Wecab.com provides a reliable shuttle service between Paris and Orly or Roissy Charles de Gaulle airports. It lets you share a taxi with others to split costs affordably.
Who hasn't considered sharing a taxi after landing to save money? I've done it multiple times, but it's rarely straightforward. Approaching strangers in the taxi queue takes courage, and finding matches going your way is tough – often involving several rejections.
Then I spotted a Wecab ad on the Paris metro. I tested it firsthand and am sharing my honest review.
Wecab is a shared taxi service from Taxis G7, perfect for airport transfers. Book online at wecab.com in minutes, pay securely like a train or flight ticket.
On my return from Roissy after a trip to my native Basque Country, it cost €38 for two people, plus €3 for cancellation insurance. A standard taxi from Roissy Charles de Gaulle usually runs €50-60 without traffic.
It's pricier than the RER (€12 per person, €24 for two), but a solid alternative – especially for early mornings or late nights when trains aren't running.
Upon landing, I called the free landline number from my booking. It directed me straight to the waiting taxi – no queues. Ideal for late arrivals when you just want to get home.
We shared with a friendly couple, also first-timers. The spacious vehicle fit four comfortably, creating a more sociable vibe than the RER.
Pre-paid fixed price meant no surprises, even with heavy traffic and an accident on the Porte de Clichy ring road. A regular taxi could've cost €90+. Plus, no cash worries on arrival.
I haven't tried outbound (Paris to Roissy/Orly), but specify your desired arrival time. Wecab suggests a pickup slot, matches passengers, and ensures you won't miss your flight.
