Getting to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Paris Expo Porte de Versailles sits in the south of the city, reachable in around 45-60 minutes from Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and 25-35 minutes from Orly, depending on traffic. Our chauffeurs track your flight and meet you in arrivals with a name sign, with waiting time already included.
Arriving by Eurostar into Gare du Nord? A chauffeur pickup there, or from a central Paris hotel, avoids queues for taxis and busy Métro connections, especially useful with the exhibitor and press traffic the show generates all week.
For teams flying into business aviation at Le Bourget, we also offer dedicated transfers straight to the venue or your hotel.
Getting around during the Motor Show
With exhibitor meetings, press appointments and professional conferences spread across the week, many visitors find hourly chauffeur hire the most efficient option: your car and driver stay on call, moving you between the venue, meetings and hotel without the hassle of parking at Porte de Versailles.
Evening plans after the show floor closes, client dinners or a transfer to another Paris venue are easily built into the same booking.
Planning your transport
Porte de Versailles draws heavy traffic during the Mondial de l'Auto, particularly on peak weekend days and around conference sessions. Booking your chauffeur in advance secures a fixed price and a confirmed pickup, removing the uncertainty of taxi ranks or rideshare surge pricing.
Our AI quote assistant prices a full programme - airport transfer, venue transport and hourly hire - in about 30 seconds, so you can book and pay online ahead of your trip.
