Motorcycles are a great way to get around right now. Passengers make the journey in the fresh air and not confined in a car or subway, etc. while breathing in someone else’s germs!
The companies that have positioned themselves in this private transport market have only planned a few “updates” to counter the effects of the spread of the coronavirus. Changing and cleaning blankets on each ride, disinfecting helmets, providing disposable helmet liner and disinfecting hands before and after each ride. Even contact with the pilot is reduced to a minimum, with the wearing of a mask compulsory to reduce the risk of contamination to 0. Even payment can be made online, without any contact.
Getting to Paris quickly from the airport via a motorcycle taxi
Don’t know how to get to the city from the airport by public transport? Don’t know how much you should pay for a motorcycle taxi? Once upon a time – not very long ago in fact – a driver Roissy motorcycle taxi could (and wanted) dictate its own price from the airport to and from central Paris. However, since 2016, strict prices have been in place for these journeys.
From Charles de Gaulle (CDG)
CDG is the largest airport in France and the second largest in Europe. If you’re traveling outside of Europe, there’s a good chance you’ll be heading to CDG.
Located just 25km north of the city, a taxi from CDG should cost you €50 or €55, depending on where you live in Paris. If you opt for motorcycle taxis as a means of transport, the price is much cheaper. Moreover, if you pay online, you pay exactly the amount mentioned in the quote, without additional costs.
Unlike dishonest taxi drivers, who will try to charge travelers large sums, motorcycle taxi drivers are not, and match the price communicated when you book. If someone offers you a higher price, just move on to the next motorcycle taxi in line.
From Orly (ORY)
Orly is Paris’ second airport and the busiest for domestic traffic. Closer to Paris than CDG, Orly is only 13 km south of Paris and is served by numerous public transport lines. However, with at least two changes between shuttle-metro-train-bus, many tourists prefer the simplicity of a motorcycle taxi.
Previously, motorcycle taxi drivers included their ride to the airport in the price of their ride from the airport to the city.
For regular taxis, drivers are not allowed to charge you extra for carrying luggage in the trunk or pets in the car. However, a supplement of €4 is added for each passenger of more than 4 people in a car. For motorcycle taxis, you will know the price you will pay, when you make your reservation, you will specify your destination and your luggage, and you will get your quote.
From Beauvais (BVA)
Located in the sleepy village of Tillé, which has 1,118 inhabitants, 57 sheep and a post office, BVA is not in Paris at all. Located 53 miles northwest of Paris, its official name is Beauvais-Tillé Airport.
How much does a taxi cost from Beauvais airport to Paris? Take a deep breath… between €120 and €160, without flat rate option. Most people prefer to take the shuttle, which takes an hour and 20 minutes and costs €15.90. It is for this reason that it is more practical to opt for a motorcycle taxi, although the distance is a little long to Paris, but the experience could be quite interesting and above all quick.
