How do you plan a Versailles day trip with a driver?
You have two options. The simplest is two fixed-price transfers: Paris to Versailles from €73 in the morning and Versailles to Paris from €65 when you want to leave, about 40 minutes each way; you only pay the two rides. The second is a customised excursion with the driver for the day, quoted on request when you book.
If you choose the two transfers:
- Choose an early drop-off to reach the palace before the busiest hours.
- Set the return pickup with a generous margin: the palace, the gardens and the Trianon estate can fill most of a day.
- Agree the pickup point near the palace when booking.
If your plans change, cancellation is free, so you can adjust the return booking.
Is a private driver to Versailles worth it?
It depends on your group. For two adults travelling light, suburban trains such as the RER C to Versailles cost less. A private driver is worth it for families with young children, for older travellers who prefer not to change trains, and for groups who would otherwise buy several tickets.
It is also worth it when Versailles is your first or last stop of the trip, with suitcases, straight from or to an airport. That case is covered below.
How do you get from Orly to Versailles at a fixed price?
A Paris Cab Service transfer from Paris-Orly airport (ORY) to Versailles costs from €65, about 35 minutes for 25 km, at a fixed price. An official taxi has no flat fare on this route: the 2026 official flat fares only cover Orly and Paris, so a taxi to Versailles runs on the meter.
The driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, tracks your flight and includes 60 minutes of free waiting after landing.
Can you go from CDG straight to Versailles?
Yes. A transfer from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) to Versailles starts from €87, about 60 minutes for 50 km, without crossing Paris by train with luggage. The return, Versailles to CDG, starts from €86. For the three airports compared, see our Paris airport transfer guide.
