How Does an Airport Meet & Greet Chauffeur Service Work?
Derived from Paris Grand Remise traditions and palace hospitality standards, airport Meet & Greet was created to eliminate every friction point of international arrivals: navigational confusion, heavy lifting, outdoor curbside queues, and transportation delays.
What is an airport Meet & Greet chauffeur service?
The term « Meet & Greet » refers to physical, personalized passenger reception from the second you exit the secure customs area.
Unlike standard street taxis or ride-hailing apps that require passengers to haul suitcases outdoors and search for vehicles across confusing multi-lane pickup zones, elite Meet & Greet places your chauffeur inside the arrivals hall.
It guarantees First Class continuity from the aircraft jet bridge straight to your Parisian palace or residence.
Where does the chauffeur wait?
At both Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly, your chauffeur stands inside the terminal building in the official greeting row directly facing the customs sliding glass doors.
At CDG: Terminals 1, 2E, 2F, and 2G feature dedicated greeting areas where chauffeurs assemble.
At Orly: In Orly 1-2 and Orly 3-4, the single exit concourse ensures immediate eye contact.
How to recognize your private chauffeur
Your chauffeur is identifiable through three distinct cues:
1. Formal dress code: dark tailored suit, pressed white dress shirt, elegant tie, polished black dress shoes.
2. High-resolution digital signage: an illuminated iPad displaying your name or company insignia.
3. Direct mobile contact: an introductory SMS sent upon your landing with mobile number and WhatsApp link.
Luggage assistance: zero physical effort for guests
Upon meeting, your chauffeur takes complete charge of all your suitcases, garment bags, and shopping totes, loading them into the Mercedes trunk with meticulous care.
