The smarter alternative to Rhônexpress and taxis.
Door-to-door. Fixed price. Zero stress.
The transfer from Lyon Airport to city centre covers 27 km via the A43 motorway and takes 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) handles over 12 million passengers a year — and at peak times, the taxi rank queues alone can add 30 minutes to your journey.
We eliminate the queue entirely. Your chauffeur is waiting at the Luggage Claim Exit with your name on a board before you reach customs. Walk out, see your name, get in the car.
Unlike the Rhônexpress tram, which terminates at Part-Dieu station and requires a metro connection onwards, our private transfer takes you directly to your hotel entrance, your Airbnb address, or your office — one price, one vehicle, no changes.
Many travellers assume the Rhônexpress is cheapest. Run the numbers for a group of three or more and the private transfer wins — on price and on convenience.

Looking for a Lyon Airport shuttle or a taxi to Lyon city centre? Our private transfer is the superior alternative. Unlike a standard Lyon taxi, our rates are fixed before you board — no taximeter running in traffic jams, no luggage surcharge, no night-rate premium.
Unlike a shared navette or airport bus, you are not waiting for other passengers to be dropped off at multiple stops across the city. Your vehicle goes directly from the arrivals terminal to your address — and nowhere else.
The heart of shopping, dining, and Lyon's most prestigious addresses. Direct from LYS to your hotel or apartment.
UNESCO-listed Renaissance traboules and historic Airbnbs. Narrow cobbled streets that taxis often refuse — we know the access routes.
Lyon's new modern districts — Musée des Confluences, Bioparc, and the city's growing tech and biotech cluster.
Lyon's two main train stations — TGV connections to Paris, Marseille, Geneva. We arrive before your train departs.
Heading further than the city centre? We cover the entire region — ski resorts, Swiss cities, wine country, and long-distance destinations — with the same fixed-price model.

Your chauffeur waits at the Luggage Claim Exit inside the terminal with a personalised name board. No car park, no taxi rank, no walking outside with bags. Walk out of baggage claim and your driver is there.
We track every flight in real time. If your plane lands late, your driver adjusts automatically and waits — free of charge for up to 60 minutes. You will never be charged extra because of an airline delay.
For 3 or more passengers, yes — the €90 flat rate works out cheaper per person than Rhônexpress tickets. More importantly, the tram drops you at Part-Dieu station only, then you need a metro or taxi to your hotel. We take you straight to your door.
