About Lyon Airport Transfer

Licensed VTC chauffeur service. Our story, our values, our team.

Born in Lyon.
Built for Travellers.

LyonAirportTransfer.com was founded by chauffeurs who were tired of watching travellers stranded in taxi queues, charged unpredictable rates, and left to navigate Lyon's transport network with heavy luggage.

We built a simple promise: one fixed price, one premium vehicle, one professional driver — door to door, every time. No surprises. No compromises.

Since our founding in 2015, we have completed over 15,000 transfers between Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport and destinations across France, Switzerland, and the Alps. Every single journey at a fixed, pre-agreed price.

We are a licensed VTC operator registered with the French Prefecture, fully insured, and operating within the framework of the Loi Thévenoud. Our drivers hold professional VTC cards and undergo regular training in hospitality, safety, and alpine driving.

Our 4 Core Values

Transparency

Your price is confirmed at booking. We never add hidden charges for traffic, luggage, night travel, or public holidays. The price you see is the price you pay.

Excellence

Mercedes-Benz vehicles, uniformed chauffeurs, name-board meet & greet, free Wi-Fi, bottled water. Every detail matters on every journey.

Reliability

We track your flight in real time and adjust to delays automatically. In over 15,000 transfers, we have never left a client stranded. Not once.

Responsibility

We progressively integrate hybrid and low-emission vehicles into our fleet. When you share a transfer with colleagues, you also share the environmental footprint.

Professional English-Speaking Chauffeurs

Every driver on our platform holds a professional VTC card issued by the French government. They are vetted for:

  • Fluent English communication
  • Alpine and winter driving certification
  • First aid training
  • Minimum 5 years professional driving experience
  • Clean criminal record (extrait de casier judiciaire)
  • Customer service and discretion standards

All vehicles pass technical inspections every 6 months — far more frequently than legally required. We operate a modern fleet of Mercedes-Benz E-Class, V-Class, and S-Class vehicles.

"Booked for a group of 6 from Lyon Airport to Val Thorens. Driver was waiting with our names on a board, V-Class was spotless, ski bags loaded without a fuss. We were at the chalet exactly when promised. Will book every ski season."

"Used them for a corporate client arriving from New York — S-Class, suited driver, name board at arrivals. Invoice in my inbox before we reached the hotel. Exactly what business travel management looks like when it works."

"Flight was 70 minutes late. Not a single message from the driver about extra charges — he just waited. Cold water in the car, polite conversation, dropped us at our hotel on Rue de la République. This is how it should be done."
