What Is a Private Driver
in Lyon?

A private driver in Lyon operates as a licensed Driver (Véhicule de Tourisme avec Chauffeur) — a government-regulated private hire category that is completely different from a street taxi. You book in advance, your price is fixed before you get in the car, and there is no meter running at any point.

What you see when you confirm your booking is exactly what you pay — full stop. No traffic surcharges, no airport supplements, no late-night rates.

All our chauffeurs hold a government-issued Profetionnal Card Driver from the French transport authority. They are fully insured for passenger transport and trained to a standard well beyond what is required of an ordinary Lyon taxi driver.

We have been running private transfers from Lyon Airport since 2015. Over that time, one thing has stayed constant: making every journey completely stress-free from booking confirmation to arrival.

The Private Driver licence is regulated by the French Transport Code (Legifrance). Our licence number is available on request.

  • Government-licensed private driver — full French transport compliance
  • Price fixed before departure — no meter, no surge, no surprises
  • Professional liability insurance on every journey
  • English-speaking chauffeurs — fluent and professional
  • Mercedes-Benz vehicles only — no budget substitutes, ever
  • Instant VAT invoice after every trip

Why clients come back

Why Choose Our Private Driver Service in Lyon

We have been operating as a private driver service in Lyon since 2015. Here is what separates us from every other option at the arrivals exit.

The price you see is the price you pay

No meters, no surge pricing, no late-night supplements.

The figure on your booking confirmation is the figure charged to your card. Clients who have been burned by Lyon taxi meters come back to us for every trip after that.

Your flight is tracked before you land

Your driver checks your flight status before he leaves for the airport.

If your EasyJet from Gatwick is delayed by 90 minutes, he knows before you do. He adjusts and waits — the first 60 minutes cost you nothing.

English as a working language

We built this service for international travellers — mainly from the UK, Ireland, the US, and Australia.

Every driver communicates in fluent English. No pointing at a phone screen, no awkward moments at arrivals.

Mountain driving is what we actually do

Many companies claim to do ski transfers. We have run them since our first winter in 2015.

Winter tyres and snow chains go on before December starts — not as an emergency measure, but as standard. We know the road to Courchevel at midnight in February.

Fully licensed under French law

Every driver holds a current Private Driver Profetionnal card . Our vehicles pass annual roadworthiness checks and carry full professional liability insurance.

If you are putting a client in one of our cars, you can say so with confidence.

An invoice ready before you reach your hotel

A PDF VAT invoice lands in your inbox automatically within minutes of the trip ending. All details included.

Corporate clients with regular Lyon travel can set up monthly consolidated billing — useful for Sirha, Pollutec, and Eurexpo seasons.

The booking process

How to Book a Private Driver in Lyon —
Under Two Minutes

Enter your trip

Type in your pickup location, destination, date, and passenger count.

The fixed price appears immediately — no quote request, no waiting for a callback.

Choose your vehicle

Sedan for small groups, van for four or more with luggage, S-Class for VIP occasions.

All three share the same €90 rate for the Lyon Airport run.

Pay securely online

Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal — all through Stripe.

Confirmation lands in your inbox within seconds of payment.

Walk out and go

Your chauffeur is in arrivals with your name on a board. He has already tracked your flight.

Collect your bags and follow him to the car. That is the whole process.

Trade fairs & exhibitions

Private Driver to Eurexpo Lyon —
Direct from the Airport

Eurexpo is one of France's largest exhibition centres and sits just 8 km from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport — which makes it one of the easiest venue connections in the country, provided you are not waiting for a taxi with 3,000 other delegates.

Our private driver service to Eurexpo puts you at the entrance in 10 to 15 minutes from the terminal — door to door, no shuttle, no waiting in a rank. Whether you are attending Sirha, Pollutec, Pharmagora, or the Salon de l'Auto, your transfer is confirmed before you board your outbound flight.

For larger delegations, our Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 people in a single journey — often cheaper than booking multiple taxis and far more practical when you are travelling with display materials or samples.

Why book a private driver for Eurexpo?

  • 10–15 minutes from Lyon Airport arrivals to Eurexpo entrance
  • No shared shuttle — your vehicle, your schedule
  • Driver monitors your flight — delayed arrivals handled automatically
  • Groups up to 7 in one Mercedes V-Class — no splitting up
  • Instant VAT invoice for your expense report
  • Return pickup from the venue — same fixed price

TGV connections & business district

Private Driver to Part-Dieu Station —
Never Miss a TGV

Lyon Part-Dieu is France's second busiest train station and the beating heart of the city's business district. It handles over 40 million passengers a year and connects to Paris in 2 hours, Marseille in 1h40, and Geneva in 1h30.

Our private driver to Part-Dieu covers the 27 km from Lyon Airport in 25 to 35 minutes — direct, without a single stop. Compare that to the Rhônexpress tram (30 minutes with luggage handling and a ticket queue), or a shared taxi that picks up other passengers along the way.

For business travellers connecting from an international flight to a TGV, missing a train is not an inconvenience — it is a day's work wasted. Your driver tracks your arrival in real time and, on runs to the station, we build buffer time in automatically so you arrive composed, not sprinting through the concourse.

Private driver from Lyon Airport to Part-Dieu — what's included

  • Pickup directly from the arrivals exit at Lyon Airport (LYS)
  • Drop-off at the Part-Dieu station entrance of your choice
  • All A43 motorway tolls included in the fixed price
  • Luggage assistance — no dragging bags alone
  • Flight monitoring — your driver knows if you land early or late
  • Return pickup from Part-Dieu to the airport available — same rate

Historic centre & Confluence

Private Driver to Perrache Station —
Gateway to Old Lyon & Confluence

Gare de Perrache anchors the southern end of the Presqu'île — Lyon's elegant peninsula between the Rhône and the Saône. It is the natural gateway to the Vieux Lyon, the Confluence museum district, and the hotels and restaurants of the historic city centre.

Our private driver to Perrache covers the 32 km from Lyon Airport in 30 to 40 minutes. Unlike the Rhônexpress, which terminates at Part-Dieu and requires a metro connection onwards, we take you door to door — straight to the station entrance, or directly to your hotel on Rue de la République if that is more convenient.

Perrache is also a major regional bus terminus — useful if you are continuing to Grenoble, Annecy, or Chambéry after landing in Lyon. We have you there with time to spare, no scrambling.

Who books a private driver to Perrache?

  • Travellers staying in Vieux Lyon, Presqu'île, or Confluence hotels
  • Passengers connecting to regional bus services at the Perrache interchange
  • Families with children and buggies — no metro with bags
  • Business guests heading to the Sofitel, Okko, or Marriott on Cours Charlemagne
  • Ski groups arriving from the UK or Ireland with equipment, heading south
  • Anyone who simply does not want to deal with the metro after a long flight

Coverage

Where Our Private Drivers Go —
Lyon & the Whole Region

Our private drivers in Lyon cover the entire Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and beyond. Geneva is 1h45 away. The Courchevel pistes are under three hours. Burgundy's best cellars are 90 minutes south. Same vehicle standard, same fixed-price model, wherever you are headed.

Airport & Lyon City

The airport run is our most popular route. We also serve all Lyon train stations, the Eurexpo exhibition centre, and every major hotel in the city.

Switzerland & Lac Léman

We cross into Switzerland regularly. Our drivers know the vignette requirements, the best border crossing at peak hour, and the hotel district in Geneva's Rive Droite.

Ski Resorts — All 11

Ski season is our busiest period. Winter tyres and chains are fitted before December — not reactively. We drive you and your gear straight to the chalet door with no shuttle stops and no strangers' skis wedged against yours.

Wine Country

A full day among Beaujolais vineyards or Burgundy grand crus, with a sober driver who knows which cellar doors are worth a knock. No fixed itinerary — entirely your day.

Long Distance

Sometimes a train just doesn't fit. Avignon and Provence are a comfortable three-hour ride when you have luggage or an awkward departure time.

What clients say

What Clients Say About
Our Private Driver Service in Lyon

"Our Ryanair flight from Dublin was delayed by an hour and a half. The driver already knew when we landed and was there with the name board, completely relaxed. Cold water in the car, immaculate V-Class. I have never felt less stressed arriving at Lyon Airport."

Dublin · Lyon Airport → Méribel · January 2025

"I booked the S-Class for a client from New York arriving for a board meeting. The driver was suited, punctual, waiting in arrivals. The invoice was in my inbox before the car reached Presqu'île. My client asked me who the company was — that says everything."

Lyon · Corporate · S-Class · February 2025

"Six of us, five pairs of skis, boots and all. The driver had it sorted before we finished saying hello. The V-Class took everything. Snow chains were on when we hit the Col de la Madeleine. We were at the chalet in Val Thorens exactly when the booking said we would be."

Questions we get asked

Private Driver Lyon —
Frequently Asked Questions

With a taxi, the meter runs and the final bill is unknown until you arrive. Traffic on the Périphérique? That's your problem. With a Private Driver, the price is fixed before you get in. We tell you €90 to the city centre and that is what you pay — whether there is a 20-minute delay on the A43 or not.

For most journeys, booking the day before is perfectly fine. During ski season — December through April — the most in-demand slots (early morning airport pickups, Friday afternoon departures to the slopes) fill 2 to 3 weeks ahead. Book when you know your dates.

Yes — a proper VAT invoice is emailed automatically within minutes of your trip ending. It shows the route, the date, the total, and our company registration. Corporate clients who travel regularly can set up a monthly billing account with consolidated invoices.

Your driver tracks your flight from before he leaves for the airport. He will be on his way when your plane touches down — early or late. You will not be waiting in arrivals; he will be there when you walk through the door.

No. Ski bags, snowboards, boot bags, and helmets travel free in all vehicles. Just let us know the number of sets when booking so we can confirm the right vehicle size — the V-Class handles seven without any issues.

Absolutely. Full-day hire is popular for corporate roadshows with several meetings across the city, families exploring the Beaujolais, or anyone who wants to visit Burgundy's wine villages without being tied to a fixed itinerary. Call or use the contact form for a price.

Cancel more than 24 hours before your pickup and there is no charge at all. Cancel within 24 hours and 50% applies. No-shows are charged in full. Your driver will have blocked that window of their day, so we think that is fair.

Yes. Infant carriers (rear-facing, up to 13 kg), toddler seats, and booster seats are all on board — at no extra charge. Select the right option when you book and the driver will have it installed before he picks you up.

Yes. Eurexpo sits just 8 km from Lyon Airport — your private driver will have you at the venue entrance in 10 to 15 minutes. We cover all major trade fairs: Sirha, Pollutec, Pharmagora, and more. Fixed price from €35, groups of up to 7 in one Mercedes V-Class.

Yes. The 27 km from Lyon Airport to Gare de Part-Dieu takes 25–35 minutes by private driver, direct on the A43. Fixed price from €45, all motorway tolls included. Your driver monitors your flight arrival in real time so you never miss your TGV connection.

Yes. Lyon Perrache is 32 km from the airport — around 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. Fixed price from €50. We can also drop you directly at your hotel in the Presqu'île or Vieux Lyon if that is more convenient, at no extra charge.
