Paris to CDG on a Sunday at 5am: 28 minutes. The same journey on a Thursday at 8.15am: 1 hour 12 minutes. Few travellers anticipate this gap correctly.
A missed transfer is costly: between €200 and €4,200 depending on the ticket, without counting the professional consequences. Here are the practical benchmarks to get it right.

Pick-up points on arrival
At CDG airport, premium pick-up takes place in the meet and greet zone: Terminal 2E gate 6, Terminal 2F gate 3, Terminal 1 arrivals level hall 4. The chauffeur welcomes you with a name board.
At Orly airport, pick-up is at Orly 1, 2, 3 (formerly Sud) arrivals level gate A, or at Orly 4 (formerly Ouest) arrivals level gate B.

Flight tracking and free waiting time
The flight number entered at booking triggers automatic tracking. If your flight is 90 minutes late, the chauffeur is not waiting at a loss.
60 minutes of waiting time are offered after actual landing. Beyond that, waiting time is charged at €2 per minute.
Fixed fare: the difference with mainstream platforms
Our Paris-CDG quote is identical at 6am on a Sunday and at 6pm on a Friday. Locked in at booking, never adjusted afterwards.
On platforms such as Uber, the same journey can vary from €40 to €90 depending on the moment you tap confirm. This unpredictability is unacceptable for most corporate accounts.
The missed flight scenario: who pays?
When a private driver arrives late and the client misses their flight, liability is legally complex. Most platforms exclude any compensation.
Our B2B agreement includes an explicit clause. Across 34,800 rides since 1997, zero Blackmile client has been left without transport. That is our standard.
