Vehicles, Passengers, and Luggage
AKI VIP Transfer uses private cars that fit single passengers, couples, families, executives, and small groups.
Vehicle selection depends on:
- Number of passengers
- Number and size of suitcases
- Strollers or child equipment
- Sports equipment or unusual items
- Preferred vehicle category
| Vehicle Category | Example Vehicles | Passenger Capacity | Luggage Capacity | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VIP van | Mercedes V-Class, Peugeot Traveller | 6–7 | High | Families, VIP guests, and private groups |
| Private minivan | VW Caravelle, Renault Trafic | 7–8 | High | Groups and passengers with several suitcases |
| Business class | Mercedes S-Class, Lexus | 3–4 | Medium | Executives, couples, and business passengers |
A private minivan or a VIP van is generally more practical if you are travelling with children, strollers, or a number of large suitcases, while business-class vehicles are more appropriate for smaller groups who require a quieter vehicle before a flight.
The vehicles listed have air conditioning, private seating, room for luggage, and a driver.
Vehicle models may be subject to availability within the category that has been booked.
Luggage Policy
No additional fee is mentioned for ordinary personal luggage.
Tell the booking team in advance if you are carrying:
- Several large suitcases
- Oversized bags
- A baby stroller
- Sports equipment
- Business equipment
- Other special luggage
Giving the team accurate information about the luggage allows them to allocate a vehicle which has sufficient passenger room and storage space.
It is particularly important in the case of pickups at stations since it can be difficult during busy times to move heavy luggage from a TGV platform to an underground link, a taxi wait area, or a remote pickup spot.
Child Seats and Booster Seats
If you would like child seats or booster seats, you can ask for them. When you book, please state how many children there are and their ages so that the appropriate seat arrangement can be ready.
It's best to request child seats in advance rather than waiting until pickup.
Why should you book a private VIP transfer?
A private transfer is most useful in the case where you need direct transport and would like the pickup to be arranged before you get to the station.
Pre-Arranged Station Pickup
The place where you are to meet has already been confirmed before the trip, so there's no need to look for a taxi rank or a suitable app-based pickup point after you arrive.
Direct Terminal Drop-Off
There will be no alterations to the public transport service between Gare de Lyon and Orly Airport, and the vehicle will take you straight to the departure terminal that is indicated on your booking.
Luggage Assistance
At Gare de Lyon the driver will help you to load your luggage and at Orly Airport he will help you to unload it.
Vehicle Reserved for Your Group

The driver may alter the route in response to the traffic on Rue de Bercy, on the Périphérique, on the A6B, and on the southern approaches to Orly Airport.
Payment After the Transfer
You don't need to make an advance payment when you book; you'll pay at the end of the trip.
Support at Any Time
Customer support is on duty around the clock to assist with bookings, changes, delays, and coordinating pick-ups.

Other Ways to Travel from Gare de Lyon to Orly Airport

Train and Metro
Public transport is a reasonable option for a single traveller with only light luggage; however, the route may require a change of service, walking between platforms, using escalators or lifts, and navigating bags in crowded parts of the station.
It may be less convenient for families, passengers with strollers, or travellers carrying several suitcases.
Bus or Shuttle
Even though bus and shuttle services might be cheaper, the time it takes for the journey will vary according to the schedules, traffic conditions, the number of stops, and the distance between the last stop and your terminal.
You might also have to walk from Gare de Lyon to the right departure point and wait with your luggage.
Taxi
Taxis can be found near Gare de Lyon; however, following large train arrivals queues might build up and the taxis available might not have enough luggage space for a family or a larger group.
Fares and taxi wait times are affected by traffic conditions.
App-Based Cars
Although cars available through an app can offer a direct route, it may be difficult to find the pickup points around Gare de Lyon due to the presence of several exits, bus lanes, and traffic restrictions.
Prices can increase during busy periods, and luggage capacity depends on the vehicle that accepts the booking.
Who Is This Transfer Best For?
The service is particularly suitable for:
- Families travelling with children or strollers
- Business passengers working with a fixed flight schedule
- Couples who prefer a private vehicle
- Groups carrying several suitcases
- Passengers arriving after a long train journey
