The VIP Meet & Greet is handled by a greeter, separate from the chauffeur. Their role is to accompany the passenger through the airport, including areas the chauffeur cannot access.
Before arrival
We prepare the pick-up based on the flight number, scheduled landing time, number of passengers and luggage. The flight is monitored, the meeting point is agreed with you in advance, and you receive the chauffeur's name before the service. The information required for the assignment is shared with the relevant team members.
On arrival
The greeter meets the passenger at the aircraft door and accompanies them through the airport. They assist with formalities and luggage, then coordinate the handover to the chauffeur. The journey from the aircraft to the vehicle is prepared in advance.
During the stay and on departure
The same team can organize the journeys that follow: cars at disposal, back-to-back appointments and adjustments during the day. On departure, the greeter can accompany the passenger to check-in and assist with formalities, including VAT refund procedures.
Meet & Greet and the chauffeur transfer are two separate services and can be booked together or separately. For an airport transfer without a greeter, one hour of waiting after the actual landing time is included, including in the event of a flight delay.

Discretion is one of the criteria considered when selecting chauffeurs and partners for VIP assignments.
Depending on the level of discretion required, we can limit the information shared with those involved to what is necessary to carry out the service and arrange a welcome without a name board.
When the guest's profile or the context calls for it, CARYLIS can coordinate the transport with a security solution organized with specialist partners.
The point is not to add one more person, but to have the greeter, the chauffeur and the security team work to the same program: same timings, same meeting points, same adjustments during the assignment, one point of contact on the CARYLIS side.
Transport remains our business. Security is organized with specialist partners.
The vehicle and the chauffeur matched to the guest
The vehicle is chosen according to the number of passengers, the luggage and the type of journey: a sedan for an individual transfer, a van for a delegation and its luggage, a minibus or a coach for a group. The chauffeur receives the information required before the service. When the assignment calls for it, we assign an English-speaking chauffeur.
Who we organize these arrivals for
These arrivals are often organized on behalf of a third party: a client, an executive, a talent or a guest. The person being met does not need to know about the arrangements made beforehand. What matters is having a clear, coordinated arrival from the moment they land.
Travel agencies and independent agents
For their clients arriving in Paris.
Companies
For their executives, clients and guests, including programs involving several vehicles and multiple stops.
Fashion houses and productions
For talent and crews, including during peak periods. Since 2010, we have worked every season during Paris Fashion Week.
One CARYLIS contact, from quote to final journey
A VIP arrival can involve several people: a greeter, a chauffeur, sometimes a security team and sometimes several vehicles. You have one point of contact. CARYLIS centralizes the program, the information shared with each person involved and any adjustments made during the service.
When it makes the arrival easier, the CARYLIS team can also coordinate pick-up or arrival times with the hotel, the assistant or the organization receiving the passenger.

Where exactly does the VIP welcome begin?
At the aircraft door. The greeter meets the passenger there, then accompanies them through the airport until the handover to the chauffeur.
Who meets the passenger: the chauffeur or someone else?
A greeter, separate from the chauffeur. The chauffeur waits at the vehicle pick-up point; the greeter is the link between the aircraft and the car.
Can the greeter meet the guest without a name board?
Yes. The welcome can be arranged without a name board, using a sign agreed between you and us in advance.
What happens if the flight is delayed?
The flight is monitored so that the welcome time is coordinated with it. For an airport transfer with a chauffeur only, one hour of waiting after the actual landing time is included, including in the event of a flight delay.
Is the Meet & Greet required in order to book a chauffeur?
No. Meet & Greet and the chauffeur transfer are two separate services. You can book one, the other or both.
Do you assist with VAT refunds on departure?
The greeter can accompany the passenger to check-in and assist with their formalities, including VAT refund procedures. They accompany the passenger; they do not act in their place or in place of the authorities.
Can you organize a security solution?
Yes, when the guest's profile or the context calls for it. It is organized with specialist partners and coordinated with the transport, on the same program.
Do you operate outside Paris?
